You know parents are the sameNo matter time nor placeThey don't understand that us kidsAre gonna make some mistakesSo to you, all the kids all across the landThere's no need to argueParents just don't understand

I remember one yearMy mom took me school shoppingIt was me, my brother, my momOh, my pop, and my little sisterAll hopped in the car

We headed downtown to the Gallery MallMy mom started bugging with the clothes she choseI didn't say nothing at firstI just turned up my nose

She said, "What's wrong? This shirt cost 20 dollar"I said, "Mom, this shirt is plaid with a butterfly collar"The next half hour was the same old thingMy mother buying me clothes from 1963

And then she lost her mind and did the ultimateI asked her for Adidas and she bought me ZipsI said, "Mom, what are you doing, you're ruining my rep?"She said, "You're only sixteen, you don't have a rep yet"

I said, "Mom, let's put these clothes back, please"She said, "No, you go to school to learn not for a fashion show"I said, "This isn't Sha Na Na, come on mom, I'm not BowzerMom, please put back the bell-bottom Brady Bunch trousersBut if you don't want to I can live with that butYou gotta put back the double-knit reversible slacks"

She wasn't moved, everything stayed the sameInevitably the first day of school cameI thought I could get over, I tried to play sickBut my mom said, "No, no way, uh uh, forget it“………..

Parents Just Don’t UnderstandBy: DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince (that’s Will Smith, people!)

…………….When the cop pulled me over, I was scared as hellI said, "I don't have a license but I drive very well, officer"I almost had a heart attack that dayCome to find out the girl was a twelve year old runawayI was arrested, the car was impoundedThere was no way for me to avoid being grounded

My parents had to come off from vacation to get meI'd rather be in jail than to have my father hit meMy parents walked inI got my grip, I said, "Ah, mom, dad, how was your trip?"They didn't speak, I said, "I want to plead my case"But my father just shoved me in the car by my face

That was a hard ride home, I don't know how I survivedThey took turns, one would beat me while the other was drivingI can't believe it, I just made a mistakeWell, parents are the same no matter time nor placeSo to you all the kids all across the landTake it from me, parents just don't understand

Write it down….How is this person feeling?Why?Is he going to do anything about it?How does this relate to disenfranchisement?
