[Intro – Spoken / Warm Tone]

Yeah…
We keep saying it—“they the future”…
but we ain’t talking to ’em…

How they supposed to know…
if we don’t even try to show ’em?

We gotta talk to ’em…

⸻

[Hook – Melodic / Uplifting]

Talk to ’em… let ’em know they got a voice
Guide ’em right, but still let ’em make their own choice

Talk to ’em… let wisdom meet present time
Take past lessons, turn ’em into future dollar signs

Talk to ’em… don’t sit back, watch from afar
They don’t need perfection… just to know who they are

(talk to ’em… talk to ’em…)

⸻

[Verse 1 – Reflective / Storytelling]

I remember being young, just tryna find my way
Had a lot of questions, but nobody had much to say
Gave me rules, but they ain’t really give me game
Said “don’t do this”… I asked why—they said the same

Now I see the cycle keep repeating again
Young minds still searching just to fit in
Internet loud, but the guidance real low
Everybody talking, but don’t nobody really know

They got vision, they got spark, they got drive
They just need direction just to keep it alive
Not control—just a voice they can trust
Someone real who can break it down with love

⸻

[Hook]

Talk to ’em… let ’em know they got a voice
Guide ’em right, but still let ’em make their own choice

Talk to ’em… let wisdom meet present time
Take past lessons, turn ’em into future dollar signs

Talk to ’em… don’t sit back, watch from afar
They don’t need perfection… just to know who they are

(talk to ’em… talk to ’em…)

⸻

[Verse 2 – Animated / Purposeful]

Now hold up—this ain’t about control
This about building up the mind, heart, and the soul
Teach ’em real values, not just chasing trends
Teach ’em how to build, not just follow friends

Show ’em credit, show ’em ownership
Show ’em patience when they going through it
Show ’em how to pivot when the plan don’t land
Not just “get a job”—how to create and expand

Warn ’em ’bout the paths that’ll waste their time
Quick money, fast fame, empty shine
Everybody lit ’til the lights go low
Then they stuck in a loop they don’t even know

Tell ’em truth—even if it don’t sound sweet
Real-life lessons hit harder than beats
Better they hear it from someone who care
Than learn it the hard way way out there

⸻

[Hook – Fuller]

Talk to ’em… let ’em know they got a voice
Guide ’em right, but still let ’em make their own choice

Talk to ’em… let wisdom meet present time
Take past lessons, turn ’em into future dollar signs

Talk to ’em… don’t sit back, watch from afar
They don’t need perfection… just to know who they are

(talk to ’em… talk to ’em…)

⸻

[Bridge – Emotional / Stripped]

We was once them…
searching for a sign

Now we the ones…
responsible for the time

⸻

[Verse 3 – Empowered / Legacy Tone]

It’s a bridge we gotta build—not a gap
Respect both sides, bring it all back
Old school roots with a new school mind
That’s how you elevate the next in line

They got ideas we ain’t think of before
We got wisdom they can’t ignore
Put it together, now the vision expand
That’s how you grow a people—with a plan

’Cause legacy ain’t just what you leave behind
It’s the seeds that you plant in they mind
Time invested always multiplies
When you pour into purpose—you change lives

⸻

[Hook – Final / Anthem]

Talk to ’em… let ’em know they got a voice
Guide ’em right, but still let ’em make their own choice

Talk to ’em… let wisdom meet present time
Take past lessons, turn ’em into future dollar signs

Talk to ’em… don’t sit back, watch from afar
They don’t need perfection… just to know who they are

(talk to ’em… talk to ’em…)

⸻

[Chant – Call & Response]

Teach ’em! (Right now!)
Reach ’em! (Right now!)
Guide ’em! (Don’t wait!)
Time don’t rewind now!

Build up! (Each one!)
Lift up! (Each one!)
Talk to ’em! (Talk to ’em!)
We all need someone!

⸻

[Outro / Vamp]

Yeah…

Don’t just watch the future…
speak into it…

Talk to ’em…

(talk to ’em…)
