HOW DID WE GET HERE?!!

Its a question that keeps running through my mind 

How and when did we get here? 

What ever happened to us

We used to be kids and now we're not

We used to be provided for

 Now we have to fend for ourselves

We used to tell someone what we want and they would get it for us

Now we have to work for it ourselves

What ever happened to us

Fridays used to be movie night 

When we would spend the night laid back on the couch, enjoying each others company till late night

All we do now is go to clubs

Drinking and partying the nights away

I remember the days we used to hang out

Back then we used to sit and story tell in the parking lot

Waiting for our parents car to drive by so we could run back home and call it a day

But today everyone is hiding behind walls

Smoking our youth away

Yet we used to be the same people who used to preach

"SAY NO TO DRUGS"

It would be a point well argued to say we grew up and we should let the past to pass

Now we don't have to go to church every Sunday unless we want to

Everyone's moving out of their parents house and its now pretty clear its a free world

You can do whatever you want to

Life is slowly taking it toll, guiding us all to the course we each have to individually take

No one's knocking on my door any more, asking my mom if I'm home so I can come out to play

No... Everyone's busy trying to be famous on IG

Everyone's trying to get their hands on that latest drip just to floss it out

 When did we get ourselves in the money hunt? 

When did life solely revolve around securing the bag? 

I wish we could back to a time when we knew what we had was enough

But then... 

We grew up

And I'm no longer my mom's baby

I'm a grown man and I want to father my own child

BUT STILL, 

I can't help but ask... 

How did we get here?
