lirik lagu our parents messed up – kwame nsiah
[hook]
mama said you’ll need somebody she ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
papa said you’ll need some things he ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all messed up
yeah we’re all…
[verse 1]
i sit back and -n-lyse my generation
tryna find a solution to all of this confusion
misconceptions of success and love and what is truly
more important in our ‘oh-so-important’ existence
for money moves and honeymoons we keep persistent
breaking rules, ‘do-what-it-do’ just to achieve it
lost a view of that real true cause we’ve been musing
on some lies, busting a move to devil’s music
which means we have all danced with the devil for a minute
but imagine if our parents took that minute to explain it
the dichotomy between the love and the hatred
truth and the lies then our lives wouldn’t be wasted
tryna find answers to questions they could have answered
but you can’t really blame them cause they too went through the same thing
their parents didn’t cared, never paid them no attention
so they’re forever in dept they feel we owe them respect
that’s why
[hook]
mama says you need to listen she ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
papa said don’t disrespect him! he ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all…
[verse 2]
where’s the love?! where’s the fricking support?!
your son is a dope rapper that’s something you’ll never know
cause you don’t ever listen when he’s speaking or he’s spitting
so you don’t hear the mega smart message in the music yo
all you know is he ain’t really doing great in school
cause his grades straight dropped from as to double us
and it’s not that he is dum, he’s just barely motivated
motives more influenced by songs with dope instrumentation
lyrics that clearly depict imagination but you just think it’s raucous so you are of no relation
so you’re kinda non-existent like huey and riley’s parents
if so then how are you gonna teach me the fricking basics
of being a man and being all that i can
school ain’t the only way required to acquire grands
and grands ain’t all that matters;
peace of mind over matter
cause if i gain the world and lose my soul then it would matter
cause
[hook]
mama says you need jesus
she ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
papa said you’ll need some papers. he ain’t ever lie
i know our parents tried but they couldn’t get it right
and now we’re all messed up
cause our parents messed up
yeah we’re all…
[verse 3]
what’s the solution to the problem so we solve it
got something of substance could you help me find a solvent
to wash our dirty mouths and rearrange our conscience
cause money over everything is just a load of nonsense
what’s success?
could you help me marinate?
is it making billion dollars doing something that you hate?
is it gaining gross profit while causing another pain?
or living dreams and doing some good while getting paid?
what is love? could you help with this debate?
is it giving me the world yet not a minute if your day?
is it claiming that you cared yet not enough to even stay?
or deciding through whatever to do whatever it takes?
cause that is all we needed; a little love and somebody to believe us
a little lost so somebody to just lead us
to the paths and the dreams we were given
cause this is mine, this is mine
these decisions, these mistakes, the choices in this life
it is i, it is i
the free will to decide was given i by the most high
and you could try
you could try to support me but don’t force me to live yours as my life
then again what is life?
what really is its purpose?
why were we created?
what really are we here for?
our parents don’t know it and neither do our teachers
they’ll give you a bunch of answers but i feel i’ve found the truest
if you’re tryna find your path yet you’re feeling kinda clueless
the holy grail is the holy one betrayed by judas
cause when mama said you need jesus
she ain’t ever lie
