Letter to the Youth Lyrics by Wrighty

Battle Scars

2018

[Intro: Stefan Brown speaking]
Listen to this
When I come out of court now
The mother come to me and said
“What am I going to do”
I said
“What do you mean what are you going to do now
You have to get on and look after them while they're in jail
And bla bla bla”
“Nah but his cars over there
And how am I going to survive without the money from my children?”
[Verse 1]
It’s summer time and the younger's be moving hot
Everyday another stabbing someone else is getting shot
It gets real sticky when the opps just run up on you block
Bodies drop, labelled as a snitch if you tell the cop
Feels like nobodies caring
Everybody's too busy staring
Mind your business that’s fine
Attitude be like that's your kid and not mine
Fake activism I just see it online
Same shit, different toilet see it time after time
I maybe preaching
But the youth I beg you please just hear me though
Don't believe the hype and nonsense said up in the studio
Choose your hero's wisely don't believe what's in their videos
They'll be hiring cars, owe the engineer for studio
It's kind of silly
These rappers be claiming that their making milli’s on the block
Screaming loyalty but they’re really not
Targeting the younger
Get them jacking robbing up the shop
Now it's hot
Got trident and po-po all up on the block, what?
I’m not a shotter, but I rap allot
Try'na educate my younger's
To show'em to work for what they got
Try not to get focused on what you ain’t got
Use that burning desire to go and get it don't stop
Meanwhile these rappers be lying and everyday our children dying
Mothers crying, yuppies moving in gentrified buying
I know we're trying but we need to try a little harder
Charity begins at home with you father's!
[Stefan Brown speaking]
The kids, have been thrown out of school
Selling drugs, and the mother is reliant on the drugs money
And the car is a Mercedes, new class Mercedes
I don't even know what the ting is, right!
Parked outside the court
So she come to court in it as well!
[Verse 2]
This is a message to every kid on the blog
Ducking the cops, plugging the food, scheming on opp
Your phone pops
With crack deals you're slinging them rocks
Your young
Your earning more money than your mum and your pops
And now they need the money
Ain't it funny, no you're not looking so bummy
Take always all on you, food up in your brother tummy
Look now you can treat your girl, her nails are never crummy
But it all a lavish dream the judge wants to take it from you
[Stefan Brown speaking]
A lot of parents are going completely wrong
Go out and get your own job and sort out your own life for your children
Not the other way around, your kids looking after you
I'm so angry and so vex
Parents know what you're doing
There's some out who are there taking the money for gas
Electric, shopping
And these kids where are they getting the money from?
Are you stupid?
I'm f**, you know what? See you on the other side
