PLEASE LISTEN to your ELDERS,
For THEY KNOW WHAT IS BEST,
CLING ON to THEIR WORDS,
LET IT
MARINATE, and  REST.
DON'T COP AN ATTITUDE, or
GIVE THEM ANY LIP,
(JUST PLEASE RESPECT YOUR ELDERS),  and
(KEEP YOUR LIPS ZIPPED!!!)

They say:

(THERE AIN'T NOTHING NEW
UP UNDER THE SUN!!)
(THEY'VE BEEN THERE AND
DONE THAT), and
(YOU ARE JUST HAVING FUN!!)
SO, YOU BETTER BE CAREFUL,
COS, the GOING GETS TOUGH,
THEY SAY:
KARMA is a B** and
IT WILL BITE YOU IN THE ****.
OUR ELDERS KNOWS BEST,
THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND THE WAY,
CAN TELL YOU STORIES WAY BACK
UNTIL THIS VERY SINGLE DAY
I'M JUST BEING HONEST!!!
NO SHADE, 
NO LIES,
BE RESPECTFUL,
NOT REGRETFUL,
OF THE WORDS OF THE WISE!!!!

YESTERDAY is gone, so
make room for TODAY,
the OTHER DAYS were HECTIC
have now GONE AWAY,
A DAY of COMPLETE MAYHEM
has now GONE ASTRAY,
It was looking PRETTY ROUGH,
but "WHAT CAN I SAY???"
Just HAPPY to KNOW that
I AM STILL HERE,
YESTERDAY'S TOUGH ISSUES have
now DISAPPEARED,
LORD PLEASE BLESS MY WEEK,
OH, THIS I DO PRAY,
YESTERDAY IS LONG, GONE,
GETTING READY FOR
ANOTHER DAY!!!

Don't you know that
you are Loved??
Someone close to you,
does really care,
Someone wants you to
succeed in Life, and
if you're feeling down,
they will always be there!!
Someone out there
is on your side
Rooting you on
to keep hope alive.
Believing in you and
all of your desires
Praying and hoping
that they will transpire
Dreams and Aspirations,
Coming to light,
You Sparkle like a star
what a beautiful sight
You stared from the
bottom and it was rough
You Persevered and pursued and
You know that you're tough
Your Strength and Courage
came from high up above,
Someone up there Loves you,
So Remember:
You are Loved!!!
