My Generation

I'm here today not to lecture or brag
But to tell a story of my generation
Now prepare yourself because for the most part
This story is honestly quite sad

It's a story of great minds with endless possibilities 
Bound for success if they so choose to be
But there lies the problem and the sad part of this story
All those great minds want success for free
They believe that it's a guarantee 
Something they deserve  just for having a diploma or GED 
Times are tough but that's no excuse
Like I said before they're bound for success 
If they so choose
With a little bit of will of some serious drive 
There's absolutely no reason we all can't thrive

 
To quote a wise man who's believed to be dead
Ambition over adversity 
Atleast that's what Tupac said 
Maybe he was on to something 
I think he was right 
Because what's worth the prize
Is always worth the fight
 
We have a choice to sit and wait for that supposed guarantee 
Or use the tools given to us and work to succeed


They'll make their choice and I'll make mine
hard work and some serious drive that's my choice I choose to thrive, 
As for the others 
All those other great minds
 Their choice will be known in due time
Cross your fingers  and hope for the best
Hope they choose the path to success
