This NEEDED to be said!

That's where part of the problem begins. A lot of kids don't have honorable parents to learn from in the first place. They are either absent from their lives or are terrible influences on them. You gotta remember too that kids and even young adults beyond their teens are very naive and gullible. If you listen to the same message day in and day out and that message promotes negative activities and a pessimistic outlook on life, then you're going to start living that way. You are going to use that music as your guide to life. Heavy metal music has artist that do the same thing. Country music does the same shit with their "I got drunk last night" lyrics and that other b.s. they put in all their songs. Music is the soundtrack of our lives and the lyrics do have an effect on how we act!
