Teenage Dreams by MC Tempo Lyrics
Teenage dreams
CHORUS
I was living blind, blind but now I see, now I see
Oh so thankful that you came and rescued me
From a teenage dream
VERSE 1
Single parent household, problems begins at home
Growing up to fast, with drugs and alcohol
Materialisms on the throne, shown as the goal
But bro i’ve got ask you, what about ya soul?
The whispers of silent screams in a house that reeks of weed
It's sad to see life's not quite as it seems
Teens that bleed for cliques, knee deep in deceit
The reason the tears be underneath the sheets
Just another kid in fear trying to impress his pears
Buying beer trying gear like that's a good idea!
Innocence stolen, pressured from the cheers
Blazing beats and baselines on the pioneer
Scared of the world that calls me forward
Other kids got what I want, I can’t afford it
Views are distorted, so I listen to rap to ignore it
Is it any wonder sometimes I act awkward
Regret how it would have been, could have been should have been
Things I’ve seen - porn that'll kill ya as quick as ya look the screen
In a world where wrong is ok, well, so it seems
Another nightmare reaped from a teenage dream
VERSE 2
Feeling misunderstood to young to decide
To insecure, to sad, to scared, to shy
To raw, to bad, won’t dare to cry
Too young to be an adult, too old to be a child
Screens polluted my understanding of love and its sad
Put a pic on the net, now I’ll never get it back
And I got black mailed for that
And did things that I never wish I had
Violated by vandals, creps are under par now
Called obese, anxious about exams, they’re getting harder
Sin turned teenage dreams to drama
“Oh Lord, please help us to grasp ya”
Now I salute those who pastor, a generation unfathered
Who look in to their eyes and see the hurt harboured
Broken hearts hardened, feeling discarded
“why they’re so guarded?”, fighting life’s dramas
Just wanting all the beef to go and stop
Told by people not to believe in God
I never did till I saw the things that Jesus does
The only one who can stop the rot
VERSE 3
Alcoholic mum is always at home
Only drinks cos when she’s sober she doesn't cope
Church is on but she doesn't go, there is a God she doesn't know
Cos no ones told her how Jesus longs to give her hope
To make her whole and to show her His love
The girl in school who became another single mum
Told she’s old enough for sex but not old enough to raise a son
Feeling guilty on the night that she got so drunk
Being denied, put aside and cried a lullaby
Could have been studying triple Sci
Now weed helps her get by and forget the nights
Of drinking pints and getting STI’s
See hearts of gold cut by silver tongues
Sons and daughters kicked for fun
No wonder they just want to hit the pub
Shamed online, satan robbed them up
Only Jesus can deal with the sin deep in us
Like feeding the kids that can't afford to eat enough
While we secretly struggle with greed and lust
Teach us to see people like Jesus does
CHORUS
