Letter to the Youth (feat. Shawde Banx) - Truth Universal

Verse I

Hey young the world is yours

But keep your work legal, please avoid these laws

Them people want us workin’ free like it’s 16th century

(and) Kids w/ Black skin destined for the penitentiaries

Chorus:

I know you feel like you’re on your own

(and) All your luck is gone

Verse II

We in the streets killin’ ourselves as if we were savages

Murder rate triple what the national average is

We don’t love ourselves, wreckless chasing benjamins

Angola bound or up in University hemorrhaging

It’s just so much to put in a verse

Bottom line is you’re ORIGINAL, you were here first

Black is the maker, owner, cream of the planet earth

No way you should be 16 carried away in a hearse

You like, this old dude don’t even make sense

And parents don’t understand like Jeff and the Fresh Prince

But the funny thing is, we actually do

And 20 years ago, we was exactly like you

Chorus

Verse III

Sometimes school is boring and teachers be aggravating

Stick with it, 4 years you could be graduating

(At least) 4 years of college could boost your finances

Ain’t nothing guaranteed, but you have better chances

The thing you love most, it’s worth pursuing it

Figure out a way for you to get paid doing it

I offer these words to help you stay on the right course

Don’t advocate military or the police force

That’s just my advice, still it ain’t no joke

They don’t work in the interest of the poor and the Black folks

I never sold d**e, a day in my life

But found ways to help my mama keep on the lights

I thought of creative legal ways that I could get loot

Kept kicks, Polo, Izod and Adidas sweatsuits

Entrepreneur, sales I had a knack for

13, Slingin Mama noodles right out the back door

Making paper, doing homework, watchin’ Looney Tunes

Then, sold subscriptions to the (times) picayune

I love my Mama, kept me offa the corner

Bussed tables, dropped fries till I got my diploma

Then I left home to get professional knowledge

Pell grants and bakin’ bean pies got me through college

On the real, I still owe for them Stafford loans

But now I (computer) program, and see the world rockin microphones

Bridge

Verse IV

Your dreams and passions you should chase behind

You’ll face struggles, I was faced with mine

I really hope you embrace this rhyme

I love you, if I didn’t wouldn’t waste my time

Chorus
