King Lil G - The Youth lyrics

Yeah! I go by the name of King Lil G!
And I dedicate this to all my young
Homies strugglin' in the motherfuckin' ghetto
Imma need you to take a smoke as I
Take you back to this 90 shit

Yeah! O-o-o-ouuuuh child
Things are gonna get easier
O-o-o-ouuuuh child, things'll get brighter
Yeah

Yea
I remember when my little homie got recruited
I know you got a lot of heart
But now you gotta prove it
Just a young student, got your mind polluted
Codeine, Xanny pills and some gangster music
Little homie, you don't know no better
Fuck around and do some time
And lose your soul forever
I've seen it happen
One of my homies went to prison
I would give him a shout out
But first I need permission
Did I mention, hoppin' fences
Had to face the consequences?
I've seen him sheddin' tears
From that life sentence
I've seen him sheddin' tears when
His wife is mentioned
It hurts my motherfuckin' heart the
Pain is never ending
I can paint a perfect picture
Picture me in different images
My words of wisdom's like the
Art of war in prison
Homies don't give a fuck about you
They 'bout to go smoke and
Fuck hoes without you

Yeah! O-o-o-ouuuuh child
Things are gonna get easier
O-o-o-ouuuuh child, things are
Gonna get brighter, yeah

Heavenly father, forgive me! I am a sinner
My spirit was feeling lonely in a
Alley full of drug dealers
I'm tryna' hide my deepest secrets
Beneath my mother's tears, man
I tryna' keep succeeding
Take some trips to Sweden people judge me
But I tryna' change the earth
I try to tell that younger woman
What she's worth
I try to tell her: "Baby girl
Take this knowledge from me"
She got corrupted by ambition
Her mission is money
But the truth, she don't ever listen
"Your dignity is everything, baby
You were born an princess just remember
There's a reason for that crucifixion"
She looked the other way
That's why I'm kinda distant
"Eventually your beauty's gon' fade away
I wish you had some pride in your
Eyes like the fifth of May"
"yeah, I wish you had some pride in
Your eyes like the fifth of May!"

Yeah! O-o-o-ouuuuh child
Things are gonna get easier
O-o-o-ouuuuh child, things are
Gonna get brighter, yeah

It's gonna get brighter o-o-o oh, yeah
