Generation Gap

We've crossed the road into teenage haste

Generation gap

With confusion, harum scarum, mistrust, disparity

Not knowing who to listen or follow

Family, or so called, not your friends

You keep thinking we the parents our your enemy

When we only try to teach you

Embrace you with the facts of life

Are life, Are love has been

No More, No Less  

You know we given the best lessons of life

But it's your choice to make it right

You can't keep trying to keep pushing

Not expect to get pushed back

We our your parents

Not your friends

My word as your parent is bond

Don't take and misstep

Out of your place

Cause even though

Still you're moving around to find the right direction

The wrong direction will be probation officers

In your face

Think long and hard of the identity you want to choose

One time, two times, three times

You Lose

I'm just talking and giving tough love

All can be remove

With your last desire

To breathe free air

Your wake up call could be

Being locked up

In the streets with a dare

Bang, Bang, you're dead

 

So can we sit down without a lot of frustration

Talk things over

Everything changes in life

Nothing stays the same for long

Soon you'll be an adult

To make the choice

If they are wrong or right

Just don't make them now

Preferably not ever

Strange day's of a teenage life

Doesn't stay the same

Forever

One thing I do know

God doesn't put us here

On Earth

Without a purpose or a plan
