A Day
  We have created a world with no virtue
  A world where words will hurt you
  Words are the weapons we choose to use
  Where words are able to leave a bruise
  So focused on electronics
  Where kids know how to twerk before they learn phonics
  Girls sell their soul to the rhythm and the dance
  And boys take advantage if given the chance
  An era where we are focused on ourselves
  And what goodies we have on our shelves
  Playing girls is on and commitment is out
  Where being a side chick is what it’s all about
  No more formal dancing only grinding
  Do you see what has become blinding?
  We are blinded by greed and desire
  Too concerned about my new mixed-tape that is fire
  Misguided by self-image and all the magazines
  Where taking pictures of our drinks become a part of our routines
  Hashtag selfie, Starbucks, and Uggs
  Hashtag swag, so gangster, we straight thugs
  This world has forgotten a day before
  We spent hours doing our makeup and our contour
  A day before everyone had wi-fi at all times
  When kids didn’t beg for new apps instead they sang their nursery rhymes
  A day when your phone battery lasted for days
  Heart eyes on your Instagram pictures instead of flower bouquets
  Image is everything; eyebrows on fleek
  You only drank four glasses ha that’s WEAK
  Where getting hammered is now cool
  Where a girl’s main objective is to make the boys drool
  Twerking and grinding just for fun
  We’re not going home unless it’s with someone
  Taking the next step isn’t uncommon anymore
  Haven’t done it? Ha virgin! Done it? What a w***e?
  You can’t please anyone. You’ll never be enough
  They only like you when you can offer them stuff
  More money, new phones, give me love
  A world full of hate that we would kill an innocent dove
  Where we despise you unless you’re like us
  We’ll shove our thoughts down your throat please don’t make a fuss
  You must think like me or else you’re wrong
  You won’t go to Heaven because that’s not where you belong
  Judgment after judgment it’s all we do
  But as soon as someone stands out that’s what the rest of us are too
  The group is blamed as a whole for their act
  If you step out of line prepare to be attacked
  A world so evil there’s not a known time of peace
  Will this madness never cease?
  Our world is broken and bent
  I’m not even sure if it’s a world worth being proud to represent
  We as a people have been led astray
  Is there hope for a better day?
  Our world is going crazy and becoming lazy
  A time before this is becoming hazy
  We have created a world with no grace
  A world with little hope for the human race
