Nowadays
Nowadays, its all about the thug life,
Making the Benjamins, Beating your wife,
Dollar Dollar bills y'all, Inequality is rife,
What happened to living the simpler life,
Holding open doors instead of holding a knife,
Living in peace instead of constant strife,
What ever happened to having manners
Are those the things that really matter?
I'm sick of being bombarded by this gangster chitter-chatter,
They start their crap and the cowards scatter,
But stand tall and their confidence shatters,
You see their talk is just pitter patter,
When did it become uncool to love one another?
not your cousin or sister, your brother or mother,
But a stranger who you should let your love smother,
Let love sweep the land like a warm Souther,
Treat your fellow man just like a brother,
Not Cain and Abel but like blood brothers.
