skipped generations

Sick and tired of playing games
Sick and tired of taking blame
Every societal constrain
Is synonymous to pain

And the knowledge that we gain
Is a dime we make a day
But the fine we have to pay
Cost the time we waste away

We open avenues to pain
Opportunities astray
Our community complain
Don't waste your twenties on the pain

On the pain, on the pain
Youth is wasted on today
Truth mistaking yesterday
Chicken soup on winter days

Recoup the price we pay
The price is rising everyday

Can't afford to live our lives
Can't afford to make the drive
Can't afford the white lies
Living just above the line

But the tougher make it fine
Life is rough that's how you shine
Buckle up enjoy the ride

I spent my twenties inside
I spent my twenties inside

Maybe every problem is with me
Close my eyes the moment that I see, no
Don't deserve the opportunity
Lack the motivation to succeed, no

I don't wanna be you
I can't make the same moves
I don't wanna please you
I can't use the same tools
I don't wanna re-do
It's not that I don't listen
I wanna make a name too

Take a second to listen
Seize the moment and then some
Feel the closest connection
On my own in my perception
Fighting those skipped generations
