A Reminder To You - Priddy Ugly

...

Yeah We need more militant youth Diligent troops, the enemy is itchin' to shoot The system is screwed, they got the kids Ritalin juiced They flippin' the news, and record labels biddin' for views Givin' slave deals, you might get a whip and some shoes Takin' your masters, and they ain't tryna split 'em with you A pitiful view, sex sells, pimpin' is true It's sickenin' too, it's toxic but we listеnin' to And television isn't evеn givin' visuals that's true They corrupted by the lies, and it's riddled in truth The curriculum outdated you illiterate spoofs We need the education system more lit and improved These privileged fools, ditchin' and they skippin' the school Imagine livin' in the hood, where there isn't a school Livin' for the gram, I know that drippin' is cool Just know there's kids with no water while you dip in your pool We got kids gettin' killed over nibbles of food Eatin' off the streets don't got a kitchen to cook Families are starvin' while you spillin' your soup Say a prayer for the hungry while you dissin' your food Name your favourite soccer player, I'm thinkin' it too There's a hundred kids in my hood, that would dribble those dudes But the problem with the youth is that we live for the booze I ain't dyin' for the life cos I got livin' to do Life ain't 'bout the millions that you wish to produce It's more about fulfillment and enrichin' the youth The rich got these poor people lickin' they boots Gainin' knowledge from they iPhones cos they think it's a fruit Learn your family tree and don't be pickin' your roots We are gods, and it's written in the pigment we spew This limitless hue, a blessin' and it's cripplin' too The white men came on ships and started fetchin' our jukes Killin' the broer, rape our women, started stealin' our jewels Black men come together, makes them different moves They hung us by the throat, and we still in the noose Africa is not a jungle, we gon' live in the zoo Straight facts we all know the prison system is skew But I would rather be a villain, than a victim and you? And time the only doctor that is healin' our wounds But remember time is money, who you billin' it to? It's where I live, y'all just sound like you visit the stu' Just know we hearin' all the fibs, that you spit in the booth And your music streamin' big but it's littered with deuce Does a one hit wonder know his shit is a fluke? Sometimes you gotta ask what Scottie Pippen would do Friction will ooze, so do you choose the Pistons or Bulls? You know the logo with the nigga doin' splits while he hoop? I'm pickin' Michael Jordan, check the swish on my shoes We need more militant youth Diligent troops, the enemy is itchin' to shoot The system is screwed Sex sells, pimpin' is true They flippin' the news, and record labels biddin' for views You deep in the pool You drownin' and you leakin' the proof Truth, I got a demon or two Not seekin' to prove I mean, I'm not eager to lose And I'm not leavin' 'til I'm mean and improved
