Lack of WISDOM  = DUMB


You must carry the game on Cause God wants the next generation of black men to be strong It won't be long before the bell is Tolled If you don't pass it on How can we last? God made your age a teacher but Where's the class? He blessed you with time so bless us With the knowledge Wisdom to the youth's brain is like a  probiotic. Health is wealth all that wisdom you gained was never solely for self Selfishness only helps you run in place You survived the times but now you owe the race. Without old school what is it for new school to learn? Once you pass that torch it shall always be carried on You a OG  you currently possess Knowledge That's a part of History So pass it down before you pass away so it's no longer of Mystery You can't call yourself a root if you gonna be selfish with the rest of the tree. Recognize you have the shrewdness and the discernment Without  proper tools what shall we learn with? They choose to hang out with Fools because they have OG's to burn with. This generation has no ambiguity Mainly cuz they lack acuity So pass the insight before the grave so everyone else can see Sergio W
