I think it should. Sure, you can say that parents/guardians should make sure their children don't listen to those songs, but that's not going to do very much. There are kids who just wouldn't listen to their parents and just continue doing whatever they're doing. A rating system would really help, in my opinion.
And the artist them self doesn't have to do the rating; a group of other people would do that, so that's not a very good argument. You think that script writers have a rating in mind when they write the script for a play or movie? No, another group of people deal with that. If there is a rating system for songs made, which I hope will happen, other people will decide on the rating, not the artist.
Of course, there's no denying that it would need money to make it work, but wouldn't it be worth it in the end? And in the current economy, any job would be great to have; this could give a few people jobs, I think.
