lyrics

I honestly believe that culture today
Has polluted our minds and led us astray
Society lied to me when it came to religion
So how is sexuality my own decision

When it comes to creation intelligent design
How creative am I if I call something mine
How selfish am I to idolize what I want
So much pride fills my cup just as I flaunt

Sound the trumpet now I'm about to give
I'm onto to something how but first let me live
Not only once but live life forever more
If only we all knew what was in store

Well Al B Sure no bull as hot as the nineties
We used to wear to bed something called nighties
Now millennials have their own point of view
Four fingers point at them as one points at you

We used to plead the fifth now we take don't give
How can we co-exist if we always raise our fist
So who can we blame in the world today
Even politicians today can not be blamed

No longer rap music videos or even movies
No longer violent video games like call of duty
I remember when parents used to be strict
I remember wearing the wrong thing got you kicked

I recall it all like a mission to Mars
So many counted on stars now we count the bars
And the hybrid cars and our carbon footprint
But where did we go wrong and to what extent

I think it comes down to a core relationship
No discipline instilled depend on a destination trip
And it's gotta be fast it's gotta be instant
If we have to wait too long we will throw a fit

If we don't get our way we will kick and scream
And that's just fine you have you own dream
But why are we tolerant with everyone being tolerant
No more hooting and hollering no more do a lot repent

No need to feel bad just take this pill
No need to be guilty it was just a thrill
No need to be convicted you didn't steal
No need to be judged we don't need to heal

Media used to make millions playing with our feelings
Now they're making killings to see if we have feelings
Sensitivity is shot as if assassins been plottin'
Obama has a plan like Osama bin laden

Yes, we can and sure we will
If we won't today then tomorrow we will
If we can't right now soon we will
It's not ours to begin with but we won't steal

It's a new law we have to write and pass
We aren't outlaws we have the right to pass
On the right no longer do we need to be left
Passing lanes are for speeders and commuters to test

But I would like to digress before I hold my breath
I would like to expect no more neglect
Equality was biblical and now it's outta control
What is fair is selfish and what is right is on hold

He works twice as hard and makes twice as much
He works twice as fast and take twice a long lunch
He eats more food than I have time to enjoy
Why do you have to be a girl why can't you be a boy

Why is it our children that we plan to destroy
Before they're even old enough before they're employed
Why can't we fix ourselves before we mess up others
do we have to be lovers and not just sisters and brothers

Why do we remain hidden under the covers
Why are we suspicious of what's been discovered
Why the new thing and all the Mac products
We have a mirror before us never did we lack monsters
