Youth of the world i think you should stop and listen
stop, think and put yourself in a position
do not be judgemental to one self
the first thing we ask is to respect yourself
so keep your motivation
as your inspiration all we are saying is give peace a chance n
have no hesitation
in your hesitation
have no fear
Do not drop a single tear
money, colour accent & tuition
doesn't matter if your from the congo or great britain
mother teresa, nelson mandela malcolm x, christopher colombus
doesn't matter if you're rich or redundant
if you are from sierra leone you fight the ebola virus
but when your are in the middle east all you see is war & violence
we all face problems throughout our life
its how we handle and precede without the need of strife
so if i quote N.W.A and we make out like we all take a stand
but half of us end running back to the dopeman
so in end don't take a drugs and do a lance
