Cause I gotta talk about this crazy world that we live in
Cause we all tryna fit in
Others shoes we wanna be in
And wars are beginning cause we judge each other by our religion
Man I’m sick and tired of our society
So many fake people these days I wanna name em piracy
And today’s generation always talking about being faded
They talking about higher grades but they ain’t even educated
Like a doorknob the truth they can’t handle
And when you tell them where you from they wanna judge you like Randall
I see this happening everyday but from different angles
But you’ll never stop my fire cause I’m way too lit like a candle
And our education we all putting on a stand still
Instead of being in class we all run from Mr Mackrill
But our government man they want things to change
But how is that gon happen if our government can’t even spell change
So how about we change 2016
But tell me first how many youngsters ain’t seen 16
Gangsterism that’s gotta be the blame
Cause these homies can hold a gun but their life ain’t gotta aim
Another is unemployment and poverty
But how we gon stop that with this country’s economy
They say the boys in hood are up to no good
But me and my homies here are just tryna heal the hood
