Letter To The Future

Intro (spoken):
People,The world today is in a very difficult situation,
And we all know it,
Because we're the ones who created it.
Chorus:What's wrong with our future? (4x)
Verse One:
Bust thisHow long will this last?
A friend to the end, a memory in the past
You think you're big, cause you walk with a shotgun
I got new for you, your days are numbered, son
Why don't you get yourself a job?
When your kid grows up, do you want him to rob?
Look at your mother, teardrops
She just received a phone-call from the cops'Your son will do life, 'cause he wigged a man's wifeShot her with a gun and stabbed her with a knife.', or
Take a look at your mother's heart torn
She just received a phone-call from the morgue'Your son is dead from three shots to the head.The killer left a note and this is what the note said:'
Never be bigger than you are.
Never try to pose like you're a superstar
Next time you rob somebody, and you give him the death-wish.
