[Intro: Mark Edmond]
Message, message to the youth
Message, message to the youth
[Pre-Chorus: Milan]
I don't know which way I'm going, but I know that I'ma make it somewhere, somewhere
Every time I felt all alone, built my spirit strong, I'm coming up somewhere, somewhere
Sometimes it's hard to believe, but I know somewhere I see
A place where I can be me
[Verse 1: Mark Edmond]
Every now and then, I gotta reach out to these kids
I know the feeling how it feels, when nobody understands
Feel like giving up, cuz you never got your chance
To execute your plans, every time you tried, get denied
Back to where you began, sounds familiar
Thought you had some real friends, none of them were loyal
Can't afford the latest items 'til they drop the prices
But, you feel entitled, taking what you got for granted
Now, you're mad at your parents, like they ain't trying
Plus, they always at work, so now you feel neglected
What you're mind saying, ways to get attention, get detention
So, you acting up in all your classes, wrecking havoc, grades slipping
What's love? Now, you're dating
Blinded cuz you catching feelings
Can't nobody tell you nothing, you got all the answers
It feel so official
Y'all gonna be together forever, was meant for each other
Go figure
[Chorus: Milan]
Take your time
Everything will be alright
In due time, your light will shine
I don't know which way I'm going, but I know that I'ma make it somewhere, somewhere
Every time I felt all alone, built my spirit strong, I'm coming up somewhere, somewhere
Sometimes it's hard to believe, but I know somewhere I see
A place where I can be me
[Verse 2: Mark Edmond]
Ay, time to make it happen, y'all, rise to the occasion
Stand for something, but be respectful, know what I'm saying?
What you get, is what you give
Nine times out of ten
No need to follow trends, when comfortable in your skin
Now, think who got your back, know the line is thin
Between associates and friends, and those who pretend
Try to comprehend, when unable
To cop the latest items
Them bills due, plus who gon' put food, on the table
Y'all gotta be more humble
Cuz y'all can be without a home, same clothes, no options
Going days on an empty stomach, that'll be hectic
That's why y'all parents at work, and how y'all phone's connected
Don't get to acting up, to try to get attention
If anything, it's y'all self that y'all really hurting
As y'all start dating, strike a balance
Get y'all selves in order
If y'all gonna do what y'all wanna, just be mindful
[Chorus: Milan]
Take your time
Everything will be alright
In due time, your light will shine
I don't know which way I'm going, but I know that I'ma make it somewhere, somewhere
Every time I felt all alone, built my spirit strong, I'm coming up somewhere, somewhere
Sometimes it's hard to believe, but I know somewhere I see
A place where I can be me
[Verse 3: Mark Edmond]
I know it's hard to keep adding, when all you're seeing is minus
There's even times, when your whole family's divided
So much confusion, gotta laugh to keep from cryin'
Tragic situations, hard to fathom why they happen
Feeling lost up in this world, could use some guidance
Don't know who to trust, so you never bother asking
Found your passion, but nobody supporting, what you find important
Here's the solution
Strengthen up your soul, focus on your goals
Keep it moving, watch for potential distractions
They'll probably say you'll never make it, cuz of the statistics
Believe beyond existence, can't nobody stop what's destined
Y'all some young kings and queens, better act like it
Don't be thinking like no peasant, better strive for greatness
Lost some people either dead, or in prison
Now, they're living through you
Remain true
This my message to the youth
[Bridge: Milan]
A place where I can be me
A place where I can be free
A place where I can be me
A place where I can be free
[Outro: Mark Edmond]
Milan
And, Mark Edmond, if you didn't know...
