Grades are getting low, the teens are getting high That 12 year old is pregnant and her parents wonder why A 1st grader is swearing, a 3rd grader has been raped. Just take a look around you, isn't the system great? Who isn't faded these days, teens are sending nudes, kids are getting beaten, the teachers see the bruises No calls for help are spoken, teens are smoking weed, young girls are cutting, this isn't what we need The marks of taunt and yelling, parents are divorced. That 14 year old is drinking beer, this can't get any worse A little girl has k**ed herself, nobody seems to care. Another kid has been expelled, for a stupid dare But it needs to change. Our world is officially broken. It's time to take a stand; your thoughts need to be spoken Take this only chance, it's your only single token, time is running out, before we'll all be soaking.. Time is moving fast, but this world is losing hope, let's add some positivity Before you tie the rope. Take a look around, when you feel the wind is sweeping you off your feet, when everything is moving too fast to see Let's break this cycle before you just give up. There's no need to be sad no more there's no need to cut. Just find yourself in the middle of your dreams. Just prepare yourself, everything ain't what it seems You see it on the news, you see it everywhere So why not get up, or do you even really care? You see how kids are feeling, you see how their depressed You see it in their tears, all they think about is d**h We need to take a stand, before things turn way worse From shootings at a school, to a thief that stole a purse So get up, and go out, there's no reason to hide But just remember the souls, and the reason you cried Take a step in this world, do something you want Make dreams, hope, and faith something to flaunt I'm just writing these words, to express my own way But I'm also writing this to get you through your day Let's pray to the students, teachers, and the priests The only thing we'll think about is creating world peace Let's just not forget about the hard times we had, everything in between But no more being sad Time is moving fast, but this world is losing hope, let's add some positivity Before you tie the rope. Take a look around, when you feel the wind is sweeping you off your feet, when everything is moving too fast to see Let's break this cycle before you just give up. There's no need to be sad no more there's no need to cut. Just find yourself in the middle of your dreams. Just prepare yourself, everything ain't what it seems They say, everything's okay, but they don't know that everyday Someone gets k**ed, someone gets shot Another ones dead just what we thought Because the world that were living in, it's really quite something Everyone sins Kids are getting high, you can seem them outside Everbody hides, makes their parents want to cry I guess it's not their fault, they fell down the drain Have the same old memories, everytime it rains It brings them down, man I know how they feel Because everything doesn't always feel so real We all gotta keep going, I know life can be hard When you're stuck in the position where you think you won't go far But let me tell you something, because I went through that That is why I always spit these truthful raps Learn from this, open up your mind Because we're losing love, and we're losing time
