[Hook] Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun [Big D Verse 1] I do this for the youth so they can see what im envisioning I strive for our rights, so we can fight against imprisonment KGR's my life, in these times, that are sickening So I just write my plights, to remind that we are differing But not different, I believe in equality Whether you're a student or the streets are your policy Another key trait I believe in is honesty There are kids starving to d**h, its only greed no apologies So I rang ill so we could speak about it properly I told him about kony, how kids bleed for his monopoly Brain washed with guns, turn to demons in an odyssey I look at holy pages for meaning in these prophesies And now im spreading the truth Exploitation of children will be d**h of our youth Rather than keep quite I just head to the booth So I can speak my mind, and then present you the proof [Hook] Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun [Illusive Verse 2] So say sh**, I dare you to say it Speak your mind, on me and mine, and how I redesigned the basics I don't need no shine, I speak my life, as I redefined the matrix I'm a beast at night, who proceeds to grind, to realign the ages I seek to find, the trees to light, to signify I made it So I leave behind, the weaker minds, that need to fight, till the reaper strikes Laid at peace, in beef, deceased, when the heater lights, to spray kids No peace we fight, till we get beat and lye, where the grave is With my teeth I slice, an even price, with equal rights, to convey sick These reasons ride, as daemons die, ill free my pride and take it The deeds of life, redeem the price, the seasons have been plagued with So I can feed my guys, leave the plights, not weakened by the fake kids For the streets I write, in need of rights, I'm breathing by and placed with I breathe on mics, conceiving life, im seasoned by the same strip That we moved on, had the food on Plus nightmares, of knifed brez, who's eyes, stared, at the true one [Hook] Don't tell me our youth is running out It's only just begun [Big D Verse 3] It's only just begun, and me and ill can tell em that I want to open there eyes, to the strife, that we are staring at I show them how I grind, on my life, they ain't prepared for that 24 hours a day, no games, are you aware of that? I do what I can for the fulfilment of dreams It's like they live in every word and it's instilled in my schemes And even the s** trade are concealing our teens No different to rape, prisoner state, the image is mean I mean, to me, this is no different to modern slavery Selling something that doesn't belong to them like plagiary We got to fight the system, its encaging me f** illness, child labour is the new plague to me I mean, f** money, that ain't worth a life And if you think it is, well I guess you're the worthless type I work and grind, bleed for my cause, now ill search and fight Me and illusive speak the truth, to preserve our plights
