We Failed the Youth

Ugh Ayo... Once upon a time, I met this kid at a show We got introduced, because I made songs with his friends He was pretty straight-edged, kind of awkward at first He just started to rap, let the story begin I noticed that he'd just feel nervous, more than the regular person In social settings he found himself immersed in Now this genre that he was just gettin' versed in Got him rehearsin' sippin' purp, and poppin' Perc 10 He ain't live the conditions in the songs But imitates 'em so he feels he can belong I saw what started as a boy singin' along Evolve to addiction for everyone in his throng Aww, this what our idols taught to the fans? How to cook dope, smoke and taught us the strands? There's no doubt in my mind that this must've been planned Rappers advertise drugs like luxury brands We failed the youth We failed the youth We failed the youth We failed the youth
