Teenagers

Teenagers are like adults
youngins having babies
young girls wearing make up looking funny
old men wit little ladies
sleep wit everybody who says those three words
“I got money"
then they start to act funny
disrespect their parents cause they don’t like the truth
stop acting like a crash car dummy honey
your body is a temple
everybody doesn’t make it in
stop playin wit your life cause it’s running like thread real thin
your body says to you “keep me safe”
men are art pictures 
pictures are hypnotizing and you are bait
you get sucked in and you’re stuck
