The Youth (Follow Up of Nothing)


We are the youth we are the future; generations before try to teach us how to do things My mama pays off my struggles as I beg her not to I'd rather take the money burn it on that pot leaf Big dreams and aspirations but my motivation lacks I'm headed in the wrong direction like I can bring my past back Fix all my mistakes and then I hit fast forward but life is not a game there's no replay in my story History yea it happens to repeat itself I said his story yea it happens to repeat itself Missouri a place I never been before but misery a place I know to well that place shows me comfort but it shows me hell I'm just waiting for the day I don't call my mom for help cause finances cause damage and I need to dispel all the things in my life that make me crawl into my shell Cause some of this bullshit makes me dwell on it I'm the future I need to make my own money but don't forget I'm lazy so let me ask my mommy then let me complain about not having nothing.
