Untold
By Valerie Odom
Feb 28, 2015

They told us that we’d come into the world unblind
That it was our time
That our generation was the one
And when I’m with the quarters before the dimes

They said our generation was too much to handle
That we’d cussed, killed, and let free of the control
We disrespected
We were defective
Like a monkey being tested
I guess we failed

It ain’t all a big deal
We got drugs and guns
Tv’s and son
Education ain’t on the run

It’s just a matter of cause n effect
They don’t wanna learn now
But in a few years while they got a child
They gone wish they had got sum education

Instead of taking the long road
They got sum scissors
And cut the pathway shorter
They think they aced life
But karma’s a bitch

While rent’s due most money spent on strips and little bags of dip
They got time to get take out
But don’t got time to finish that essay

Most families are breaking up
Single ladies are adding up
Why deal with the undealt
Stories untold, never felt
Life’s too short to keep things inside
Just like Trayvon Martin some dreams die
Make most of today cause you might not get tomorrow while it’s your escape.
