this generation
Location
i wonder if jordan ever came out with a pair of kicks call stupidity
would people be that foolish to buy? with the mentalities nowadays
i'm sure they will...why? there too caught up in fashion rather than knowing its substance
at what extreme will people stand on line for sneakers
rather than stand on line for an opportunity for a job that will help pay your bills and put food on the table for your kids
if you think that highly of your child
i find it ironic how we keep buying jordans, but don't have money for a metrocard to get home
we struggle as it is, but we must know how to get through rough times during midst of crisis
that may cause people to panic
if jordan accomplish one goal
he makes peers believe that his kicks can make people fly
but i question why
this generation repeats the same ongoing cycle of failures
and believe there will be a different result
but then again, we co-sign by buying the same shoes, same model
expecting praise and faith
makes me wonder if stupidity influence people to kill one another
over a pair of shoes that have no value other than the price of those shoes itself
which has lead to humiliation and ostracizing i truly wonder
if anyone were to say this is how stupidity defines us
by validating ourselves all based on what's on our feet
in fitting rather than standing out
which makes me think that you have yet to discover you
and yet i question people's mindset when they continue to buy stupidity
me wondering and questioning about this generation
has transform to concerns in how far they would go just for attention
an acknowledgement and even affection
they are quick to jump from one trend to another
and not investing on how to originate one's own style
afraid of rejection
rather than acceptance
which has lead to false representation on freedom of expression
it's important that i need to tell them
that if you walk five blocks in the wrong direction
it makes no different on what's on your feet
whether they're jordans or even lebrons
if you're no interested in digesting the truth
i can care less about your beats
if your words doesn't articulate your train of thought
i don't want to see your facebook messages
because your desperate to take a seat
with the elites
that will lead to anguish and defeat
so please explain this to me
if this is what makes you complete
why you have this obsession in needing to compete
and you honestly believe that fitting in with a crowd makes you stand out
its standing out from the crowd that catches eyes like a woman who sees an attractive man
none of the words i convey is no blame to jordan himself
all he does is promote his products
the only recognition in this society is the prison war we live in
when i speak to this era of generation, all i do is warn them and be aware of all aurroundings
all society wants to do is specialize and desensitize sentimental feelings
that endorses malicious acts with no remorse
a society that perceives me as the enemy, but i'm innocent
assumes that i'm a nemesis
and the only reason is they choose people like chief keif, bobby smurdah, and alex rodriguez
as a representative to people of color
we continue to weep what society sow
because no matter how many shoes jordans are sold
i'm not concern about your soul
materialistic items does not keep you whole
i speak to this generation
of all the girls who chant all the single ladies
only understand the language of fiance
because they are obsess in being like beyonce
and yet blame amy winehouse's distorted marriage to a degenerate
in expecting miraculous changes
failures to change someone that doesn't want to be change
what do you think the song rehab came from
you make all the excuses for him
pants continue to sag like the level of his intelligence, and integrity
fooling people with a blind eye
ignorantly, foolishly, hopelessly, blindly
where he continues to beat you like a pinata
recklessly, blatantly, disrespectfully, hatefully
how far would you go for recognition, aknowledgement, and even affection
i also speak to this generation
of all the boys who believe
that masculinity means to blatanly and disrespectfully suppress
the shivery, sensitivity, sympathy, and dignity
while efficiently, explicitly, and unequivocally promote violence
visually, vividly, graphically, and viciously
negativity that erodes hostility and deliquency
in hiding the true feelings
of acceptibility, sustainibility, and virgility
it's frightening in what this generation do for attention, acknowledgment
and even affection
if we don't save this generation
then they'll be lost souls that will falls in irresponsible hands
that will lead them to either a hospital, jail, pregnant, or dead before their time
