What Is This World Turning Into?

What is this world turning into? Is there anything that I can possibly do? Young people are starting to steal And young people are starting to kill Even on the busy streets of Crenshaw People just love to disobey the law Crazy people are always starting stuff Most of the time, they just think they're tough Young people want to start using a gun They do it because they think it's fun Young men are turning into thugs And pregnant teens are using drugs Dear Lord, What is this world turning into? Please, is there something I could possibly do? I would love for this world to have peace Dear Lord, is there a way for the violence to decrease?
