ฟังเพลงLetter to the Youth (feat. Shawde Banx)

Hey young the world is yours

But keep your work legal please avoid these laws

Them people want us workinfree like it's 16th century

And

I know you feel like you&rsquo're on your own

And

All your luck is gone

We in the streets killinourselves as if we were savages

Murder rate triple what the national average is

We don't love ourselves wreckless chasing benjamins

Angola bound or up in university hemorrhaging

It's just so much to put in a verse

Bottom line is you&rsquo're original you were here first

Black is the maker owner cream of the planet earth

No way you should be 16 carried away in a hearse

You like this old dude don't even make sense

And parents don't understand like jeff and the fresh prince

But the funny thing is we actually do

And 20 years ago we was exactly like you

Sometimes school is boring and teachers be aggravating

Stick with it 4 years you could be graduating

At least

4 years of college could boost your finances

Ain't nothing guaranteed but you have better chances

The thing you love most it's worth pursuing it

Figure out a way for you to get paid doing it

I offer these words to help you stay on the right course

Don't advocate military or the police force

That's just my advice still it ain't no joke

They don't work in the interest of the poor and the black folks

I never sold d**e a day in my life

But found ways to help my mama keep on the lights

I thought of creative legal ways that I could get loot

Kept kicks polo izod and adidas sweatsuits

Entrepreneur sales I had a knack for

13 slingin mama noodles right out the back door

Making paper doing homework watchinlooney tunes

Then sold subscriptions to the

Times

Picayune

I love my mama kept me offa the corner

Bussed tables dropped fries till I got my diploma

Then I left home to get professional knowledge

Pell grants and bakinbean pies got me through college

On the real I still owe for them stafford loans

But now I

Computer

Program and see the world rockin microphones

Your dreams and passions you should chase behind

You'll face struggles I was faced with mine

I really hope you embrace this rhyme

I love you if I didn't wouldn't waste my time
