This Generation
People keep saying that I’m aggressive
But never ask why I choose to be
Even though the answer isn’t simple
Let's just say the people of this world
Destroyed the innocent
version of me that I used to be
Misplaced trust, betrayal, heart break
And the constant denial and dishonesty
The way people walk around
As if they have no ounce
of humility In their body
And yet this generation asks
“Why don't you trust me?”
Well because their mouth is the gun
And their words are the bullets
Every time I let my guard down
They reload it and won't stop shooting me
I look around and ask
“Where's the hospitality?”
Hurt people walk around and hurt whoever
Together as if they know nothing
About having their own morality
There’s nothing wrong with the world
But something wrong with people within it
Everyday someone gets scarred
Because of someone's pain
They use as an excuse to inflict brutality
We all got our own demons
But the biggest one is our mentality
Trapped in a realm of this generations
Corruptness mainly focused on sexuality
A girl will say no and yet the male
Continues to touch her sexually
A girl will want attention
So she’ll pick a guy and tell her ‘story’
She could sit in the courtroom and yell
“That man touched me!”
And the whole time she’d be lying
While the other girls in this world
Actually have that hidden story within them
That they’re fighting and constantly denying
And could possibly be denied the right of justice
Because too many girls who seek attention
Make up the same story lines, as if it's right
This generation influences
The wrong impression of love
Where the masculinity dominates
the femininity very physically
The way we joke about sex
As if there’s no value over someone’s virginity
I hate how we all in someway
Lack sensitivity and even even empathy
The way we hate on other
Till the point where they too hate their identity
And yet the people of this world ask
“Why would someone ever consider killing-?”
No finish the question
But they won't because they know
That they're the answer
Words, rumors and bullying
Have a way of infecting someone's mind
And life then starts spreading like a cancer
Yet people keep on saying that I’m aggressive
But now you know why I choose to be
Even though the answer isn’t simple
Let's just say the people of this world
Destroyed the innocent
version of me that I used to be
