My Generation Lyrics: Nas & Damian Marley ft Joss Stone & Lil Wayne
[Chorus - Joss Stone & Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(Yes we will)
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(Do You hear me now)
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(we bout to make a change)
[Damian Marley - Verse 1]
Now mi love fi see the schoolas dem a graduate
A study hard and save the party for the holidays
Diplomatic with dem Diploma
And them bound fi great
Because dem nah pick up no matic and a perpetrate
And then I love the energies whe dem a generate
My Generation it so special it will make a change
Because the elders sew the seed and it a germinate
So anytime dem see the progress dem 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 ha to 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
[Chorus - Joss Stone & singers]
[Nas - Verse 2]
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
Whats up with your motto?
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 likes Wells Fargo
Its 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.
[Chorus - Joss Stone & singers]
[Verse 2 - Lil wayne ]
uhh if you weather that storm
Then that rain bring sun
Been a long time comin
I know change gone come
Man I gotta keep it movin to the beat of my drum
Last night I set the future at the feet of my son
But they thinkin that my generation gotta die young
lyrics courtesy of killerhiphop.com
If we all come together then they cant 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’ve never looked betta
And I heard change started with man in the mirror ughh
This generation
I’mma represent
A generation led by a black president
Now hows that for change
Who knew that could change
I don’t even look at the flag the same hey ughhh
So when you finish readin revelations
Thank god for my generation
[Chorus - Joss Stone & singers]
[End]

Jah to the wurl!! The yardies just say it better! I agree 100% this is no longer a song but more of a prophecy. Seeing our world for what it really is. This generation is so much more enlightened then the last, but it sure is hard being patient watching the atrocities in the world taking place. I’ve had to stop watching the news as I end up sobbing and frustrated trying to come up with answers to solve the problems, and trying to figure out what I can possibly do to make a difference! Doesn’t everybody feel they should shout it from the highest peak?, and why don’t our governments hear us?
