Generation
I continue to think
About the daily situations that happen
In our generation
Hating is spreading
Like the movie contagion
The virus is spreading
Through the iris
Because everything we see
Influences us to be
The very people we
Idolize on tv
He, she, they, we
Are all expected to be
Something other than me
You, them, they can
Never understand the uniquness
Every person displays
Why should you have to change
Gun shots heard by many everyday
Thesame many that dont
Know why Treavon Martin was one of the
Many that didnt get away
From the senseless violence that happens everyday
But whose to blame
In this sicotic game
Then again it happens day by day
People judge people
Just by how they look
But never took a minute
Out of their time to realize
There's aperson
Behind those eyes
You see if i was lying
Then why would you be
Wasting your time talking about my rhymns
Im only speaking because
Everyone else is afraid
About the feedback that might stab back
Stop wasting my time
An go about your life
But ima spend itin this life time
Changing people's life
I can turn a penny in to a dime
An donate that dime
To a kid that starves
Most of the time
Is it really a crime
To want something more
Than a normal life
I might just end up
Writing the most influencial rhymn
It's my time your time an their time
We can all make a diffrence is we just try
Saying that you're
Incapable of being capable
To comprehend what i'm
About to say im almost at the end
Sometimes i dont even know
What im saying but I'm
Praying that for every mind
That is corruppted there is
One that can help change
The next generation
