You tell me I can’t be a

World changer because 

I’m young

You tell me I don’t understand the hardships 

You went through back in

The days because I’m young 

But yet again every little 

Mistake I make you 

Criticise me for it and tell

Me that my future is in

My hands

How can I be so foolish

I’m old enough to 

Establish the difference 

Between wrong and right

But I’m not old enough 

To stop living the way 

You want me to ?

I’m not old enough to 

Take the world into a better

Direction 

You spend your last energy 

Analysing my moves 

Trying to figure out what 

I may do next

So that you can bring me down before I actually 

Attempt it

You think you’ve got me

All figured out but you

Seem to forget that I may

Be born free but I still carry 

The tears and blood that was shed to get me and my

Fellow mates where we are

Now

And then again you call us

BORN FREES because we

Don’t have to fight to go to

Better schools

To get better jobs

But you don’t realise do you

That we still share the same

Struggles? 

Yes we go to these fancy schools 

Yes we do land these great jobs but have you ever 

Thought to sit down and

Try to understand how we did it or do it

Do you not see us out there fighting for schools to be

Affordable 

Do you not see us out there

Fighting to get the jobs we want and need through the means of our hardwork not how we look or dress

You think you wise because 

You were living in tough

Times and had to fight for every little thing we have now

You think you wise because 

All WE do is just let our future slip away like that

But have you ever had the decency to think why we do it?

Why we think isolation is now better than being in

Groups?

Why we turn to quick fixes? 

Nah I don’t think you get it

Why? Because we BORN FREES right 

Because you think you’re Wise

Because all we know is partying
