Youth and Elder Temperament

Young man you don't listen, you don't listen
Stop your fishing, you're not fishing just fidgeting
Mind your matters it does matter if you want to live long obey your parents
Old man stops your nagging I'm not standing for what you say
I do not believe yet I will be receiving all the money and material things
Yeah! old man that will be coming my way yeah?
And I ain't believing that I'll be receiving a punishment from the maker
Young man you'll be receiving that of what you're dishing out
You'll be given all that you've been giving that of your choice
I am just a relic I am just upset by the major decisions your tone in your voice
Keep you in mind  that you can't control time and that I am who you wanna be
So as long as you live remember your peers won't keep you only God will
Mind your manners it does matter if you wanna live long in this life
You have to believe in less in receiving your need to believe in Christ
And when you are done in this life with your free will and choice
You represent
No, minded manners disobedient to laws, rules God's commandments
You'll sit and be REMINDED OF THOSE SIMPLE
