Should a rating system be required for song lyrics?

In my opinion there should be a rating system in place like they have for movies and video games.   How would you accomplish this???  When it is so hard to censor movies/games.   It is not just up to parents to enforce it, society will need to step in to help minors.   I believe in free speech but I also believe we as a society should set good examples to all children!   All I know when I grew up I did not hear music that downgraded people because of their gender, race etc.  Now I listen to the music my grandchildren are playing and I get shocked when I actually hear the lyrics.  Artist have the responsibility to be role model since they do have an influence on children in what they listen to.     Unfortunately, artists are getting richer while are children are having issues in life and need support.   Some songs they could do without.   Children are our future, and if their musical choices are filled with negative things, then it is society responsibility to do something about it.
