Old Soul

Maybe I'm an old soul The things that should appeal to me are not interesting Some probably think that they should be I'm in the hip-hop generation, but current creations make me believe that this world has no morality Scantily-clad women dancing on the hood of cars Beautiful women with no intelligence become superstars Anorexia is acceptable, and should be detectable The wickedness in this world is incredible Men are leaving women with children to raise alone Little children wake up and wonder where has daddy gone Drugs are accessible at any given time of the day The only thing that we can do is pray Music isn't music anymore, and I listen for true creativity It seems real music is an endangered species Men enter prison, and some never see freedom again We must think before making descisions I'm an old soul in a young body Even though I have made some mistakes, I am still somebody To the youth of today, I must say that we are the future We cannot push aside the God who our country was formed by Meterialism and wild, riotous living will only lead to financial and physical ruin What are you doing to make this world better This old soul is being wise and humble.
