I envy you because you have both parents But you mistreat them I envy you because you were given a chance for education But you bunk classes just to smoke drugs I envy you because you have a roof over your head But you choose to throw unauthorized parties I envy you because you have something called a “room” And yet you’ve turned it into a *** lounge I envy you because you are fertile but you keep on taking abortions I envy you because you have a high ***** count But you mistreat your children I envy you because you always have food on your plate But then you complain on how it tastes bad and you throw it away I envy you because you have a grand mother Yet you say she lacks wisdom and is boring you with her endless fairytales I envy you because you have clothes Yet you complain and say you want ripped jeans and ripped t-shirts I envy you because you still have your face and it isn’t ruined But then you are busy destroying and covering it with makeup I envy you because you’ve got a chance to celebrate Christmas But you complain on how it always takes place at the same venue I envy you because you do not know life Yet you you walk around mocking people like you own the world I envy you because you are not me I WISH I HAD THE PRIVILEGES THAT YOU HAVE.

I ENVY YOU
I envy you because you have both parents But you mistreat them I envy you because you were given a chance for education But you bunk classes just to smoke drugs I envy you because you have a roof over your head But you choose to throw unauthorized parties I envy you because you have something called a “room” And yet you’ve turned it into a *** lounge I envy you because you are fertile but you keep on taking abortions I envy you because you have a high ***** count But you mistreat your children I envy you because you always have food on your plate But then you complain on how it tastes bad and you throw it away I envy you because you have a grand mother Yet you say she lacks wisdom and is boring you with her endless fairytales I envy you because you have clothes Yet you complain and say you want ripped jeans and ripped t-shirts I envy you because you still have your face and it isn’t ruined But then you are busy destroying and covering it with makeup I envy you because you’ve got a chance to celebrate Christmas But you complain on how it always takes place at the same venue I envy you because you do not know life Yet you you walk around mocking people like you own the world I envy you because you are not me I WISH I HAD THE PRIVILEGES THAT YOU HAVE.
