Can someone please tell me why

Teenagers post pics of them crying

And why slitting your wrists seems so satisfying

And why schools are in danger yet it seems like the government isn't trying

Why are our "icons" hardly dressed in anything

Why is there a TV show with sisters arguing and screaming

And why do we call a women from Texas a queen

When last time I checked royalty was in London

Why do girls starve themselves for a boys approval

And why does the internet praise it

Why does everyone say the n word like its slang

Did they forget how us black people made it?

Why are people feuding over a musical collaboration and who in the world is coming up with these dance moves

Why are rappers mumbling with no story to tell

And why are face tattoos a thing

Why do we worship these people that promote fast lifestyles

When they mainly got there because of their rich parents

Why are girls having their moms bribe colleges so they can get in even though they don't deserve it

Is there any way I can go in a time machine

And make my way back to the 90s

Because things seem less complicated
No shade to Beyonce
