Lyrics
PARENTS
CHORUS
So many things I wanna do
So many things I cannot do
I already know my wrong from right
So, when will you parents realize
So many things I wanna say
So many things I cannot say
I already know my way around
So, what will it take to make you proud
VERSE 1
the fresh prince said it best, parents jsut don't understand
how we work, how we live, how we breathe, how grow to be free
Parents always wanna be reflected with status
and always come up wit tactics to use us as their advantage
promoting envy having our parents wishin we're honour roll
and making every day of our lives a mission impossible
I'm out being productive making mommy and daddy proud
Yet I'm still being accused of gallavanting around
U see parents never understand what goes through the mind of teen
which drives them count the days when it's time to be free
I kno u've been there before, but times have changed, things are different
it's a new age, a new place, a new game for this new generation to play
It's 10 o clock at night, the sun has set
the night is young, I'm having fun, and the night has finally begun
Yet my mother calls my phone, tellin me that it's late, come home, ignorant of the fact that I am 20 years old
I'm out living it up, doin wat people my age do, chillin wit the crew, sippin gin and juice, gettin loose
and you want me to come home, because it's late to ur mind?
parents need to realize,
that we don't wanna live our lives through your eyes
VERSE 2
Come on, we've all been through hassles
of always being nagged, being yelled at, being ordered around,
being pressured in school so we can em all proud
and make them feel superior above their peers inside their own crowd
You see parents always tend to embarass their kids,
ordering them wat to do, especially right in front of their crew
And they don't have clue
How much damage they've jsut ignorantly caused
But it doesn't matter, as long as it benefits their cause
I kno parents really care, and they showin their love
But how can u call tellin me to come home when I'm jammin inside the club
running flexes with opposite sexes, at different addresses
I'm just living it up, taking advantage of my possessions
yet, one little phone can take it all away
hello my child, it's 9 pm, come home, it's getting late
And yet we agree because we're scared of the deadly consequences
like having ur car taken from ur nights of wild expenses
and that is the essence of what happens tomorrow night
and we can't lose that privilege, it's heart to our pride
cuz in our minds, we hate to admit it, but it ain't no lie
That no matter what, we're all just grounded for life
VERSE 3
I've always wondered what life will be like without parents
free from being embarassed, free from all the errants, they force you to do
then I'd just thinkin crazy, I'm racin, tryin to find my place and
I'm just embracin, all the lessons I was raised to facing
being told what to do, how to show proper manners
when being a rebel's the only thing that matters
it's like getting picked on by bullies every single night
and Parents will be parents and order u not to fight
Then comes the lecture that fighting with bullies is silly,
and that you should settle peacefully, now come on mom, really
YOu think a simple offer of handshake will solve the confrontation
You don't understand how kids think in this generation
Your time is up, how conflicts were settled back in the day,
were back in the day, this is today, filled with new ways
I'm not accusing any of your methods of being incorrect
it's jsut that on the streets all we crave is respect
An elevated reputation along with emancipation
So there would less fustration, and a lot more admiration
parents need to understand, when your child is 18 years old
it's about time to let go and cut the umbilicord cord
