[Verse 1: Jambo]
They say the youth will only listen to us
Cos we are the youth that just grew the f** up
They got the schools attacking them
They're telling them to go a certain way with their life
Be academically right
As if we're meant to lose sight
Or follow the syllabus
Or end up somewhere in between fighting for our principles
There's no community cos we don't do nothing communally
All we do is talk this slang fluently
That's the only thing out the ghetto we don't do brutally
Question every face that's new to me
I was raised in a place where people act inhumanly
See a 12 year old say nothings new to me
A f**in grown man meant to leap before they hit puberty
That's the youth or what they seem to be (?)
Now I see the truth instead of what I used to see
We're living in a place that promotes hate exclusively
Wrestling with our immunity
[Hook: Jambo & Willa Lee]
If there's a problem with the youth these days is they don't listen
I'd say that's just the human condition
Cos you won't right your own wrongs until it's too late
Cos you've given up on life because you've no faith
.. from estates trying to juggle these fakes and mates
But your bang on time in the wrong place what a f**in waste
If there's a problem with the youth these days is they don't listen
That's the human condition
[Verse 2: Jambo]
From a different perspective
These lads aren't k**ers they're just nippers that grew up neglected
Raised in estates disconnected
Smart minds never intercepted and left rejected
Educated from a different perspective I'm directed
Bitten by the fast life livin infected
On the streets where your mindstate stays separate
Where you commit sin or even k** to be accepted
Nowadays if there's profit then of course there's incentive
The boys are waging all out war because remorse is subjective
They grew up too quick and never got their life back from where they left it
They went from jockeying the horse to hockeying the Lexus
A force undirected at the time it doesn't seem senseless
Till they've seen the sentence
And watch your potential as it dispenses
The human condition
[Hook: Jambo & Willa Lee]
[Verse 3: Jambo]
The way we live is unneccessary
Built our whole life up on lies and swore we'd never confess to any
In this world honesty is secondary
an*lyse prides emissary seen it bring and end to many
Too preoccupied with the pennies and whats on telly
Made their mind petty never sussed that life is momentary
Its the human condition isn't everybody different?
Can't accept that life is blessed, it isn't
Takes people being buried for us to suss
We didn't give a f** about them till they were missin
Situation just wouldn't let us give it
Be careful where you hate because your mistakes
Will be waiting in the past when you relive it
And the past is a place you won't escape once you're in it
That's the human condition
Stuck sitting thinking bout your ..
Like there isn't no chance to double back to rebegin it
This is your life so live it or diminish long before you reach the limits
[Hook: Jambo & Willa Lee]
