Funky D.L. - Watchin' The World lyrics

[Intro] [Hook] You got me watching you lately I'd like to know what's up with you And it's driving me crazy Tell me what am I supposed to do [Verse 1] As a youngin' I came up in the times of when rap was adolescent People rather punched than gun clapped When parents were stricter and kids don't talk back And days were the bomb man I wish I could walk back Cause times done changed, but it ain't for the better I fear for these young souls who ain't go getters The time of the email They can't write letters World of followers and not trendsetters Where MTV is as much aspiration For kids who don't really have any vocation And rather be hard than to be too smart And use they hate over using they heart I asked a young blood what he wants when he grows He still don't know and he's now twenty four Walking on the road in the sleet, in the snow Up to no damn good, gets chased by po-po Looking for a sneak move to make some cash Pretends that he's flossing when it's more than he has Don't he understand that this life can't last Should've paid attention when sitting in cla** You think that he cares, no he wanna live fast And throw mad stones though his home's made of gla** His value for life's at an all time low But can he turn it around, I just don't know I'm watching the world [Hook] [Verse 2] Yo I'm watching the ways of these moms and these dads And fear for the lives of the kids I don't have What am I supposed to tell em', that the world went mad? That parent's got lazy, so kids turned bad? Parent's had no clue so kids done crashed Society, influences too much, man It ain't just that, it's environments too The kind of experiences they go through And all kinds of things that we exposed to It's there for you to see it when you turn on the news It ain't about a team, it's just about a crew So me, me, me And nothing 'bout you So gimme, gimme, gimme And give back to who? Them youth g'wan do what them youth g'wan do Enough is enough, say the law and it's true But this problem is old and this problem ain't new And is there anything I can do to give back? Beside pen lyrics and rhyme on the track And can one man make a great big change Without his effort going down in vain And causing him strain, making him feel pain And saying to himself, never do that again I just don't know and it just don't stop So each and every day is the world I'll watch Yo, I'm watching the world [Hook] x2
