O’hene Savant - Babyboomers (Dem Babies) lyrics
[O’hene Savant - Babyboomers Dem Babies lyrics]
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
Said we dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
This my latest, so outrageous
Jimmy Lee, howlin’ to the rhythm
Let me play it savor it
Ever since that vinyl turned our new Bible
This our revival, for the lost sheep
Let me guide you
Guide you to the pavement, to the basement
Where this how we pray it
All our hands raised and
We worship with words that only
Our kind made perfect
Yes I said mean, that Jimmy boy’s a wordsmith
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
Said we dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
This ain’t aimless this ain’t any boy
This more like Miles Davis
What the hell y’all sayin’?
Thinkin’ that we playin’, sayin’
This is our movement
This is how music can move men to doin’
Somethin’ from nothin’
Raised out of the ruin
Yes that generation ain’t waitin’ on Truman
Maybe just maybe, one day they’ll claim they
In the meantime we gotta
Keep movin’ them babies
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
Said we dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
Feed them babies
Not with radio, soap opera, with greatness
Like Count Basie
Teach them the wisdom of the ages
We get from the sages
Wealth of our brain is not
Found in them wages
Found in them pages, revelations
Found in Revelations, patience of the nations
Hasten ’til the day that we can
All say we made it
Until that day we keep raisin’ our babies
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
Said we dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies we dem babyboomers
We dem babies say dem babies
