This is a poem speaking about life and the struggle which the youth deals with
Deprived from the truth

My ghetto youth

Lost in the system

Misled without any guidance

Blinded with open eyelids

Life in the fast lane

Stuck on auto pilot

Moving at their own pace

Living life as if it's a race

Getting high to dull the pain of the past

Just to face this present day

Let's get faded and fade away and hope for better days is what they will say

Ain't no need to pray

Because nowadays there's no one to show them the way or how to pray

No faith just a lot of pride and fight that carries them throughout each day

Forever I will pray and strive to save my ghetto youth.
