We are all walking brand deals
We want the newest technology and we don't want to wait
There's nothing that can stop the new generations now.
We have the most power
We have the most knowledge
Most will to change but with every rainbow comes a shit ton of rain
We are given privileges that are seen as requirements
We are given distractions instead of dealing with our problems
We are told we are the issue
When the issues were created generations before us
They had no advanced technology
No deep knowledge
The world was so different we might as well become a new planet
Toxic luxuries have taken over
Try and find one kid without a smart phone
There's a problem with this and no one can find it because our heads are buried in the internet.

Nike, Under Armour, Gap, Gucci
Logos galore
By the age of 5 kids are begging and screaming for their parents to buy them Jordan's
We aren't aware of any other world
We are the 1st not the 3rd
We are handed money but not the values of hard work
With the world controlling us how will we know our personal worth.

Victoria Secret, Android, Pac Sun and Zumiez
We are all walking brand deals
All with toxic luxuries.
