If you drive for a few miles in your car
You’ll see things that could turn a smile into a scar
Some of today’s kids are mad to the max
They would probably fit in Where the Wild Things Are
They used to blame two things in the old days
Gangster rap music and video games
The problem was too big for richer folks to stay
Then the middle class moved in and it didn’t go away
Right now, they’re repping it hard on that corner
High-powered weapons and cars like Transporter
People talk about them as if they’ve got a nerve to live
The same people that voted for the frigging Conservatives
Why’d you think they haven’t got an F word to give?
Most of them don’t know the meaning of the word 'forgive'
The ones that learnt are the ones that know Rick Ross bars
As far as they’re concerned, that’s something that only God does
The cool youth came and everybody thought the mood changed
Drug rings would’ve been smashed if it wasn’t for the food chain
All they wanna do is reach the top of it
Eat until the bottom isn’t involved, meaning don’t stop for shit
That’s what the logic is
But logic is a dodgy biz
Life’s a bitch and often, they’re misogynists
It’s hard to figure it out cause women are the ones that raised 'em
And father figures are now just figments of imagination
They might as well be invisible
Cause nobody’s discovered how to stare through a prison wall
It’s pitiful, I pity fools
That think the culture’s dying cause the situation’s critical
It’s a tragic problem
The illness won’t just vanish like the myth of Magic Johnson
They’re fucking for the funds cause the roots don’t need to be legal
Stunting like money’s the root of Evil Knievel
But the government’s just a group of greedier people
I want another word for the dudes we see as deceitful
There’s gotta be a name for those that truly fuck up shit
Cause politician isn’t really doing it justice
The game belongs to them and it’s impossible to stop it
They save a lot of pennies with the coppers in their pockets
The law’s on their side so they’re chilling in mansions
Laughing while you’re labelling the children 'gangsters'
