[Nas, Damian Marley, Joss Stone, Lil Wayne - My Generation lyrics]
My generation will make a change
(Ooh, we'll make a change)
This generation will make a change
(Yes, we will, yes, we will)
My generation will make a change
(Do you hear me now? We
'bout to make a change)
This generation will make a change (yeah)
Boom now me love fi see the
Schoolers them a graduate a-study hard
And save the party for the holidays
Diplomatic with them diploma and
Them bound fi great because them nah pick up
No 'matic and a-perpetrate
And then I love the energies
What them a-generate
My generation, it so special
It will make a change
Because the elders sow the
Seed and it a-germinate
So anytime them see the progress
Them a-celebrate
Because we rising up despite of the economy
And then a-we a-star the
Show like the astronomy
And how we keep on breaking
Through is an anomaly
Because we keep remaining
True without apology
The mission have fi carry
Through and finish properly
Say Gambia to Guadeloupe, Paris to Napoli
Say Zambia to Honolulu, back to Tripoli
And everybody want a future living happily
My generation will make a change
(We'll make a change, we'll make a change
Yeah) this generation will make a change
(This generation, yeah)
My generation will make a change
(We'll make a change, we'll make a
Change, we'll make a change
I swear we will)
This generation will make a change
(I swear it now, yeah, hey)
Can you blame my
Generation? Subjected gentrification
Depicting their frustrations over
Ill instrumentation
'Cause music is the way to convey
To you what I'm facing
Placing my life in front of
Your eyes for your observation
Now if you can't relate then
Maybe you are too complacent
Athletes today are scared to
Make Muhammad Ali statements
What's up with tomorrow? Will you
Lead? Will you follow?
Improve your values, education is real power
I reach 'em like Bono
So get rid of your self sorrow
Add some bravado
Get wealthy like Wells Fargo
It's truth that I am you and I am proof
Surviving through, we do what we gotta do
Yo, we could break the cycle
Let nobody lie to you
Then maybe put our sons and
Our daughters in private school
'Cause there's a mission
We gotta finish before we leave
This generation is destined to
Do historic deeds
My generation will make a change
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
This generation will make a change
(My generation, this generation, yeah)
My generation will make a change
(We'll make a change, we'll make a
Change, we'll make a change, yeah)
This generation will make a change
(This generation now, hey)
If you weather that storm
Then that rain bring sun
Been a long time coming
I know change gone come
(We're makin' a change)
Man, I gotta keep it moving to
The beat of my drum
Last night I set the future at
The feet of my son but they thinking that my
Generation gotta die young
If we all come together then
They can't divide one
Don't worry 'bout it, just be about it
Got a message from God: "Heaven too crowded"
But I say, "Hey, young world
You never looked better
And I heard change start with
The man in the mirror, " uh
This generation, I'mma represent
A generation led by a black president
Now how's that for change? Who
Knew that can change?
I don’t even look at the flag the same, heck
Uh, so when you finish reading Revelations
Thank God for my generation
My generation will make a change, yes
This generation will make a change, yeah
My generation will make a change for good
For better
This generation will make a change, yeah
(Ooh, we'll make a change)
This generation will make a change
(Yes, we will, yes, we will)
My generation will make a change
(Do you hear me now? We
'bout to make a change)
This generation will make a change (yeah)
