This song is basically saying that the generation we have is messed up these days. Messed up with drugs, smoking, fake people, even racism, which is mentioned in T.I.’s verse. Victoria wants to escape from all the madness of this generation, to be saved.
[Verse 1: Victoria Monet]
You know you are, there's never been a soul like you
Just do what you want, they're good with everything you choose
[Pre-Chorus: Victoria Monet]
Can you save me from a mad generation?
Smokin' good and whole in the wall
No waitin' cause we ain't got the patience
Some days we wanna do it all
[Chorus: Victoria Monet]
When the light falls and the night calls
We will hide it all what we do in the dark
And the paintings with the secrets
A new day begins, and we back to it all
[Verse 2: Victoria Monet]
No voice to appear to the masses, just quit as the silent night
Get into what you want and you passin', no one will ever know your lies
[Pre-Chorus: Victoria Monet]
Can you save me from a mad generation?
Smokin' good and whole in the wall
No waitin' cause we ain't got the patience
Some days we wanna do it all
[Chorus: Victoria Monet]
When the light falls and the night calls
We will hide it all what we do in the dark
And the paintings with the secrets
A new day begins, and we back to it all
[Verse 3: T.I.]
Lights out in an abandoned apartment
One gun big enough to make a car flip
All about our profits, ain't no minus, coal miners
We'll be diggin' for the gold , leave that petty shit behind us
Lookin' for us, you can find us on the corner in the trap
Niggas bags in the front, quarter birds in the back
They say the life we live ain't right
Cause we hustle til the day light
But when my baby crying for the hunger pain
It be keeping him up all night
My bitch never thought about how drugs and the vibe
Kept the black folk divided and they dive it
Get that why they say yeah that generation low
And my generation bad
I'm down to die bout my fam, I demand my respect
[Chorus: Victoria Monet]
When the light falls and the night calls
We will hide it all what we do in the dark
And the paintings with the secrets
A new day begins, and we back to it all
