Ignorant Teenagers

Lately I've been noticing some repetitive patterns followed by Ignorant Teenagers. Most of them want to smoke or sell weed so they can seem cool, and the other half lie about smoking so people who don't matter will except them. Oh, and lets not talk about clothes! We all know South Pole and Ecko Red use to be "IN". Now all of a sudden if you're caught wearing that type of brand you have "no sense of style, or your referred to as a doo doo." What made these type of brands so uncool? Who decides whats cool and not cool anymore? Everyone's so wrapped up in the little things that don't matter these days. The words originality and different dont exist anymore to some. I decided to talk about this specific topic because WE ARE THE FUTURE. If were so worried about our outer appearance and what people think of us we'll be nothing in the near future. Who are little kids going to look up to when we're older? It's alot to think about right! No one should be so desperate for exceptance from people who do these type of things, its absurd. Here is a specific verse from a good friend of mines named Nas pertaining to this topic.

Be, B-Boys and girls, listen up
You can be anything in the world, in God we trust
An architect, doctor, maybe an actress
But nothing comes easy it takes much practice
Like, I met a woman who's becoming a star
She was very beautiful, leaving people in awe
Singing songs, Lina Horn, but the younger version
Hung with the wrong person
Got her strung on that
Heroin, cocaine, sniffin up drugs all in her nose...
Coulda died, so young, now looks ugly and old
No fun cause now when she reaches for hugs people hold they breath
Cause she smells of corrosion and death
Watch the company you keep and the crowd you bring
Cause they came to do drugs and you came to sing
So if you gonna be the best, I'ma tell you how,
Put your hands in the air, and take a vow

[Chorus - 2x (Nas and Kids)]
I know I can (I know I can)
Be what I wanna be (be what I wanna be)
If I work hard at it (If I work hard at it)
I'll be where I wanna be (I'll be where I wanna be)
