Lil' Wayne, Nas, Joss Stone - My Generation

[Chorus: Joss Stone]
My generation will make a change!
A change.
This generation will make a change!
Yes, we will.
My generation will make a change!
Do you hear me now?
This generation will make a change!
We're ‘bout to make some change!

[Verse 1: Damian Marley]
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 sew 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.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Nas]
Can you blame my generation? Subjected gentrification,
Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation,
Because 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 them 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,
Because there's a mission we gotta finish before we leave,
This generation is destined to do historic deeds.

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]
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 got to 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 started with man in the mirror.
This generation, Imma 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!
So when you finish reading revelations,
Thank God for my generation.

[Chorus]
