Dare For This Generation
What is this world coming to and where will it go?
God save the children, but these kids are so grown that I don't even know
Where are the fathers to keep their daughters safe?
And where are the mothers to keep their sons straight?
They're walking down the street, lagging, sagging, trying to look cool
You and I both know they look like nothing but fools
And they're not helping anything by putting nurseries in schools
She's 8 months pregnant at fourteen, don't even know how to read
Her baby daddy's failing classes, he can't study cuz he's too busy planting seed he can't feed
No, parenting classes are not what they need
It seems like nobody cares about their education
All they think about is illegitimately populating the nation
Yes, we were made for pro-creation
But this is not how God intended it, the ways of man bended it for
Fornication is an abomination
Skipping school, disappearing after roll call, taking the bus to do some shoplifting at the mall
Getting high, getting drunk, plastering your face with all that junk
You should be appalled
The phrase of today is "I don't care"
They think that acting out means to have no fear, well, courage is to not follow the crowd
Doing what everyone else does is being a coward
So you like a good dare? I have one for you
I dare you to stop doing what society wants you to
The statistics grow, it's nationalistic so America is no exception
Adam and Eve had us doomed from conception
But God did not leave us without rectification
You may not become a star in the world's eyes, but you can shine where you are
Sit down and get your work done and you can go far
So stop, stop wasting your mental capacity
And get up, stand up, and be who God intended for you to be!
