(Verse 1)

I don't know about a 16 you better count me off

My mind clears it's silence when the music's sounding off

I'm hearing this fake deep music that's not profound at all

That style ain't for me it's from the heart or not at all

I used to be that kid found a beat now I've evolved

I see the barrier of change come and help me pound this wall

I see that Lynch mentality has impounded y'all

I see the need for change found a cause and got involved

I see the chains of oppression have mounted y'all

Our system of thinking needs to be reinstalled

And I'm here to tell you that change starts in y'all

(Verse 2)

I don't know about a 16 you better mark this down

It only takes one choice to put that pistol down

Throw on neutral colors and go to they side of town

It only takes one decision to show forgiveness

And this cycle of killing can finally see ending

I know that was your brother

But gaze at your mom's face and picture if you were taken from her

It would crush her

Killing a killer will not restore life instead you can be reborn and walk with Christ

I know the chains are tight

But if you call on him you can walk free tonight

(Verse 3)

I don't know about a 16 that ain't my method you best forget it

Now sit and listen sit and listen as I spit this message

It's been a second

Since Willie's system perfected but if we simply reject it then we can reflect it and provide opposite outcome

Solve all these problems

Spark the change of tomorrow

They say change is slow yeah that's obvious

But change isn't happening until we're stopping this

Lynch built a mental barrier it's time we toppled it

Let's start with a blow as heavy as Messi's soccer kick

On top of the list: Age

I'm about to make a few statements

Going back and forth between generations hopefully bringing light and illumination

To the adults, yes tech has brought about deterioration in the psyche

But that's no excuse not to like me

Instead of fighting you should be providing direction we could use the protection

We're your seed you best invest in answer our questions and teens

Listen with open ears

Our parents been here they know our fears

Some things they say are senseless I get it

They did the crime and paid the time

To put the period at the end of the sentence

So you don't have to they did it

That age gap is straight crap

To which I deliver the highest criticism

Both the old and the young filled with egotism

The old say tech has the young under hypnotism

And The young’s like man they out to get us bringing cynicism

And I see both sides, bringing me neutralism

There's gaps on both sides, and so I’m gonna bridge em

People blind on both sides from there more spite is risen

Open ears closed eyes I’ll bring em lyricism
