Views Of A 20 Year Old Who Now Sees Change




Whatever happened to kicking @ss
And taking names?
What kind of p*ssies have we become?
Even I am not how I used to be!
Boy, I'll tell you something,
Back in my day,
When we wanted respect,
We'd beat it out of you!
The same goes for opinions.
No one ever soiled the family name.
I used to kick @ss man!
No one would ruin my good name,
Not unless that person was Suge!
When we wanted attention
We'd ask for it.
We never acted out in class because
When I'd get home I would have gotten smacked.
At school, when I was in a fight,
The teachers let us finish
And tire ourselves out,
Then they would send us to the principal.
And then the principal would tell us to
Behave and that would be enough.
Then we'd go back and beat up that same kid
Right after school because he disrespected
My name and family name.
Nowadays, you got security guards
At school, what kind of sh!t is that?
When I was going to school,
Man we threw rocks at the security.
F**k the goddamn hired help, damn rent-a-cops.
The way I was raised,
I never beat up a nerd or geek or dork,
I never beat up those who were very different.
No, I beat up those who were the same.
I'd teach them good and well
Not to be normal. F**k normalcy!
I'd beat up the bullies who beat up those
Who were different.
That's just how I was.
Sure I had to adapt from
A shy girl who got her @ss whooped all day,
Into the opposite of that.
I defended those who could not
Defend themselves, because I wanted to.
But now, everyone's a softy.
No one stands up for themselves,
Except their parents.
Where the hell did that sh!t come from?
You get hit once and
There's talk of pressing charges?
How f***ing lazy and dull and lifeless
Has our youths become
So that instead of TRYING
To defend themselves,
They get a gun and shoot up the school.
They never let anyone know what is going on.
They bottle it all up.
It's so f***ing sad that
Kicking @ss and taking names
Has taken a form such as this one.
