You got no place to complain about those angry days 
There's no fight and no war, but you're still left under par 
It's a sign of the times, there aren't no equal rights 
You have trouble with decision, so you're pointing the blame 

Think of what you are, don't stand this accusation 
You'll never get rest, cause there ain't no fast redemption 
Worst than you think, more than you ever thought 
And you're up to your neck and you keep on being fashioned 
This is not fad, it's an emotional breakdown 
And that's how you're gonna feel, when your nerves call this shutdown 
You're not gonna fight, you're not gonna rebel 
Disease is in your face, and it's worse than Latrell Sprewell! 

So you're down with the truth and you take it on the youth 
Got no plan no morals and an empty self esteem 
It's a sign of the times, there ain't no equal rights 
You have trouble with decision, so you're pointing the blame 

Don't break your arm with a slap, tryin' a throw down 
You'll wind up on your back, wishing you just had your face down 
It's shun certified, the palm is on your blind side 
This is what you get, when you beg for fast redemption 

You got no place to complain about those angry days 
There's no fight and no war, but you're still left under par 
It's a sign of the times, there aren't no equal rights 
You have trouble with decision
