It seems as if the
It seems as if the older you are, the more respect you deserve by default
Like being younger than someone is your fault
I'd love to see the day when we can all truly learn from others and realize
That the older we are doesn't necessarily mean we have a bigger mind size
Than those who are younger because they too could know things you may not
Parents believe a lot of times that it's talking back, but we're just showing what we got
Because there's nothing worse than being told you don't listen
And then that person doesn't seem to either
All because we don't know anything
As if they have a file on record of the knowledge in my brain
Trying to maintain a level head about these situations, working on a better me
It's starting to turn into beating a dead horse with a bat and my arms are getting tired
At times I just wanna give up and flee
But I can't because I have way too much fire
Maybe one day they'll listen
