YOUTH
God I plead for mercy on this reckless generation
Deliver us from this outrageous situation
It is too much for our own comprehension
Our spirits are locked up like we're in detention
Awaken your mind, tune into your intuition
Or will you wait till your days of pension?
We are sucked into anarchy and complications
Drugging ourselves with toxic medication
murder, drugs, sex, money and fornication
I am aching at the sight of the world's commotion
Will you have an answer the day of persecution?
I too was asleep, but I have made my confession
Oppressed by illusions , violations and abominations
Young girls, young boys deceived by man with evil intentions
The devil is ecstatic as we are defeated by temptation
How are you startled when God shows frustration?
half of us are suffering from a type of depression
Don't give in, don't conform to the systems and operations
You cannot be disobedient and rely on manifestations
We are highly blessed in many variations
Yet so stupid in ways I cannot mention
oh , the things they do just for attention
Blinded by darkness and affliction
The truth is, it is now time for redemption
Break soul ties and negative relations
Enlighten yourself with chapter v Lamentations
What will you do with this revelation?
God, have mercy on your creation.
