NOWADAYS

Girls nowadays are lazy
This generation is so crazy
Selling out their body, just because of money
Thinking it's fun, living like it's funny
They're living in a hurry, trying to please society 
Living a cunning lifestyle 
Thinking they're wise and fine, they're just bite and spit.

Boys nowadays are very desperate 
Not determined or patient 
They want to be on the top
Without having what it takes
Doing things that gives instant gratification 
Making them live in stagnation 
When things don't go their way 
They start constituting nuisance in the nation.

Parents nowadays are nonchalant 
Don't want to know the source 
Of their children's income 
Steady inputting pressure on you 
When they see your mate 
Doing better than you
Awaken the spirit of exploit 
Instead of the spirit of creativity and productivity.

Our leaders nowadays are selfish 
Their only concern, is their family 
Steadily gathering generational wealth 
While the nation is shapeless 
Insecurities and joblessness everywhere 
No infrastructure for growing the economy 
Causing the nation to suffer from inflation.
