YOYO 'G'


I cannot really understand
what kids today are learning.
What happened to the old stuff
My brain is really burning.

We used to learn to write and read
comprehension was really key
Now Hooked on Phonics and Ebonics
Have them blurbing "EH YO...'G'!

"PEACE OUT! WORD UP! Yo Yo Dawg.."
and other crap like that.
"God is a D.J. Mu-fuk"
Pull up your pants! Take off that hat!

Functional illiterates
is what they are you see.
WE learned how to write,
THEY'VE a spell check key.

Kids these days think thesauri
are some fictional dinosaur.
It's a thing you read you dumass!
My kid just called me Whore!

And so it starts, that speech we've heard
from our 'Back in the Day..."
Their eyes start rolling,when we're extolling
"Y'KNOW...WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE..."
