Today's World and Our Society


Today’s world is a place where nobody knows who they really are

People change up on you but act different from a far

This world is messed up and the people changed too

Nobody cares about anyone it’s all snapchat and youtube

 

Kids getting bullied everyday and treated like stools

And then you wonder why they out here shooting up their schools

You see our world today and it isn’t accepting

People want you to turn out a this way but get mad when you weren’t what they were expecting

 

Instead of saying “I wish I would've stood up for that kid”

And the “I wish I would’ve said something and been there for him”

Be the ripple to start that wave

Be the one people need in their lives everyday

 

I’m not trying to tell you that you’re doing wrong

I’m just tryna tell you to keep the world strong

Not everybody is perfect and you can’t be mad

But the day we expect it is the day it’s all bad

 

Nobody want’s you to be perfect but want you perfect, I don’t understand

Believe me when I say this, this wasn’t God’s plan

Nobody want’s to be judged or criticized

Nobody does anything about it when it happens even if they see it with their own two eyes

 

Society isn’t supposed to be like this it’s very strange

Society isn’t supposed to be this way it needs to change
