Voices of Regret: Impacting Youth and Seeking Change
Lyrics
I see the pain from every little boy or girl
I observe the suffering of every young boy or girl.
Especially when you never asked to come in this world
Especially when they didn't choose to be born into this world.
I often wonder, "How can I impact the youth?"
I often contemplate how I can positively influence the younger generation.
I turn to Father God and tell Him steer the boat
I turn to God and ask for guidance in navigating life.
They mentally displace them
They are mentally displaced.
Mimic the rules of gentrification
They imitate the rules of gentrification.
Put them inna "bracketless" equation
They are put into a situation without clear rules or boundaries.
Make them feel life has no variation
Life feels monotonous and lacks diversity for them.
Then they will resort to ammunition
They may turn to violence as a solution.
Same you provide to load their weapons
The same people who provide them with necessities also give them tools for violence.
Instil evil in what you propagate
Encouraging negative behavior through what is promoted.
Send them to sleep while we having their wakes
They are influenced negatively while we celebrate their lives.
I hear these voices and it haunts me
I hear disturbing thoughts and ideas.
Knowing that couldn't save one at least
Frustration at being unable to save even one person.
I hear these voices crying regretfully
These voices express regret.
I wish Father Time was a genie
Wishing for time to undo mistakes like a genie would.
Before we think about making a difference
Prior to making a positive impact, introspection is necessary.
We need to look within and lend ourselves a hand
We must extend a helping hand to ourselves first.
These little angels need all our commitment
Children need our full commitment and care.
Cause forces are destroying this generation
External influences are harming the current generation.
They mentally displace them
They are mentally displaced (repeated).

This is my calling
Expressing a sense of purpose or destiny.
I'll be your prophet
Committing to guide and advise others.
I ain't no Robin Hood
Not a hero who takes from the rich to give to the poor, but spreading goodness.
We're gonna radiate good
Striving to emit positive energy.
Awake my brothers and sisters
Urging others to wake up and embrace a new day.
Welcome a new day before us
Welcoming a new day with optimism.
I hear these voices and it haunts me
I hear disturbing thoughts and ideas (repeated).
Knowing that couldn't save one at least
Frustration at being unable to save even one person (repeated).
I hear these voices crying regretfully
These voices express regret (repeated).
I wish Father Time was a genie
Wishing for time to undo mistakes like a genie would (repeated).
