[Intro: Sabac] This one right here This for all the young people All over the world Who are suffering As a result of our mistakes [Verse 1: Sabac] This for every child who needs love and stability For every boy and girl who needs a hug and it's killing me To see young people so torn and abrasive Being taught wrong, no child is born racist Faced with peer pressure Poor education they're made to feel less So lets do more to save 'em They're behaving erratic based on needs and status They just wanna feel safe, so they feed into habits Now they're smoking and drinking They're fucking and cutting They're depressed, it's a mess But they're just hunting for something A way to feel good, a safe place in the hood Nurture all their dreams, keep telling them they could Be whatever they choose, begin changing the rules They're our future, teach what they don't learn in schools More than science and math, start providing a path To the youth its not your fault you were dying so fast!

Hurt themselves and someone else another tragic attack We laugh at the past then we hope for the best But the past will just reflect the present knowing what's next We messed up, toxicated dirty water disease-infected foods Drug abuse life caught in the streets We're forcing our seeds to take more than they should So grown folk give 'em hope and make sure that they good
