|
[00:38.16] |

[00:39.47] |
|
[00:40.10] |
Momma said she was late |
[00:41.15] |
|
[00:41.84] |
Even with his absence I had to adjust |
[00:44.45] |
With the madness grew up |
[00:45.96] |
A little quicker than your average |
[00:47.59] |
Let me taste cause I ain't had none |
[00:49.77] |
A young black kid |
[00:50.95] |
Brainwashed by rap and rock |
[00:52.64] |
VCRs I had the Magnivox |
[00:54.94] |
High school we had the campus locked |
[00:56.94] |
Non grad sad to drop out but |
[00:59.38] |
We needed something to believe in |
[01:00.75] |
|
[01:01.51] |
We're living for the weekend |
[01:02.88] |
|
[01:03.81] |
Teacher said we wouldn't be shit |
[01:05.38] |
Not bad for some heathens |
[01:07.37] |
Thanks for the lack of faith |
[01:09.11] |
|
[01:09.87] |
In judging what I do |
[01:11.59] |
This generation |
[01:13.31] |
|
[01:15.81] |
Ain't nothing I can say |
[01:17.74] |
What can I tell to you |
[01:19.80] |
This generation |
[01:20.74] |
|
[01:24.41] |
They say we ain't playing with a full deck |
[01:26.04] |
They let us down why they upset |
[01:28.22] |
Nothing but the naked truth I feel undressed |
[01:30.09] |
21 gun salute for young vets |
[01:32.71] |
|
[01:33.27] |
Rodney King did what he had to |
[01:34.65] |
Now these white girls get to date black dudes |
[01:36.46] |
Shorty's into rosaries and rap feuds |
[01:39.14] |
Young niggas with snapbacks and tattoos |
[01:40.77] |
|
[01:41.33] |
We fast forward sell a lot of kush |
[01:43.14] |
If you rap dude getting hella push |
[01:45.32] |
Missed the Reagan era but we got Bush |
[01:47.44] |
Talking 'bout the same spot that Barack took |
[01:49.69] |
My generation on some other shit |
[01:51.24] |
Getting faded while we waiting on the mothership |
[01:53.62] |
And not dependent on the government |
[01:54.68] |
To teach this generation how to love again |
[01:57.42] |
Thanks for the lack of faith |
[01:59.17] |
|
[01:59.68] |
In judging what I do |
[02:01.23] |
|
[02:02.17] |
This generation |
[02:04.60] |
|
[02:05.85] |
Ain't nothing I can say |
[02:07.72] |

[02:09.35] |
|
[02:10.04] |
This generation |
[02:12.90] |
|
[02:14.53] |
We used to read guns and ammo |
[02:16.08] |
Crack cocaine left the hood in shambles |
[02:18.02] |
On the streets of Linwood |
[02:20.34] |
Gang bang insane the gang was in hood |
[02:22.17] |
|
[02:23.21] |
Paroo crib |
[02:24.65] |
Don't ever let your Jerry curl drip |
[02:26.21] |
When the winters don't end |
[02:28.52] |
When the homie's big brother just shot his best friend |
[02:30.64] |
|
[02:31.57] |
Get it right through the chest |
[02:33.07] |
At the school at the crib playing Russian roulette |
[02:34.69] |
And you wonder why we do what we do for the set |
[02:37.25] |
Any given moment homie you could be next |
[02:38.88] |
|
[02:40.00] |
It's what we do for respect |
[02:41.31] |
Cause this generation got a noose on its neck |
[02:43.05] |
|
[02:43.99] |
We let it all hang out |
[02:45.61] |
Society wouldn't let us in so we banged out |
[02:47.80] |
Thanks for the lack of faith |
[02:49.23] |
|
[02:50.04] |

[02:59.97] |
This generation |
