|
| [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] |

| [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] |

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] |

What can I tell to you |
| [02:59.97] |
This generation |
