Voice Of A New Generation

[Intro]
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the united snakes of America

(When we come down, we come down hard, not come soft, so come!)

[Chorus]
This is the new generation
(…new times...the new generation)
The voice of a new generation
(new times...the new times...the new times...the new generation rap)

[Verse 1]
Its the voice of a new generation statin’
Let’s get it straightened cause we’re sick of all the racial hatin’
We know the truth cause we've been put upon the facts
We did the tracks I wrote the rhymes and put it on the wax
Self expression and the words are self explanatory
It’s mandatory I demand you understand the story
About a funny thing that happened the first day of school
Had no idea when I got there I would play the fool
I played it cool cause everything was new to me
I would've been out if I knew what they was gonna do to me
I pledged allegiance to a symbol of terrorism
And terrorists, but you're telling me it’s heroism
And to open my history book of tricks
And to turn to page six hundred and sixty six
And read chapter zero all the way to zero
Then do a short book report on my favorite hero
But Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington were crooks
I told the teacher 5000 as I burned my books
Here's the hook

[Chorus]
(You keep telling me)
This is the new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)
(You keep telling me)
The voice of a new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)

[Verse 2]
You know I even wanted to put some flame on the flag too
But I knew the Feds would come, and I'd get dragged to
A cell block, with a cell lock, shell shocked
Doing the humpty or the county jailhouse rock
Just because I dropped out I'm not a cop out
The ride was getting kinda bumpy so I hopped out
And plus it wasn't going near my neck of the woods
I started seeing burning crosses and white hoods
And blue suits, black and whites, and unmarked cars
Police in taxi cabs and parked cars
Try to send me back to school but I don't wanna go
Because they pump me all this shit that I don't wanna know
Instead of what I need to know so I can stay alive
And survive in this system and not take a dive
In the dead pool and drown in miseducation
It’s the voice of a new generation

[Verse 3: Unnamed Artist]
This is the voice of a new generation
The voice of a new generation
The voice of a new, voice of a new, voice of a new generation
This is the voice of a new generation
The voice of a new generation
The voice of a new, voice of a new, voice of a new generation
Come up and show me something lowly help you… [?] … so run and tell everybody that… [?] ...destroy the false leaders and false prophets any liar… and … liar prophecies talking about…this comes from is [?] …pirates you still believe in raping and robbing defenseless, this new generation…[?]

[Chorus]
(Telling me)
This is the new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)
(You keep telling me)
Its the voice of a new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)

[Verse 4]
When we come down, we come down hard, we don't come soft, so come!
Oh you're telling me that I’m rebelling and you give me slack
Give me a hassle, but respect you never give me that
So I choose not to listen to your petty logic
You started the problem now you wanna help me solve it
I’m protesting but I ain’t walk in ticket lines
Just let the drummer get wicked and let me keep up rhyme
Cause when it comes to a conscious topic I’ma drop it
And nowadays it's very little that you do to stop it
Sure, they can go ahead and make they silly laws
But I’ma break ‘em as soon as they make ‘em, or
Find a way to beat the system and fight the power
It's a dog-eat-dog world and they might devour
With young brothers step lively and watch the closing jaws
Of Babylon and watch ‘ya back or you gonna get yours
Cause you can put your money on it that I’m getting mine
And I ain't tryna hear that slice, I want the whole nine
That should let you know exactly where my head is at
I'm getting paid and getting over like a fat rat
For my rhymes that I exert like an expert
The only selling out I'm doing is a concert
Cause I'm the type that doesn't go along with the norm
I surpass it and supersede it I don't play the pawn
More like a king ascendant of African N-E-W-G-E-N-E-R-A-T-I-O-N

[Chorus]
(You keep telling me)
This is the new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)
(Keep telling me)
The voice of a new generation
(That I'm moving much too fast…) (That I'm moving much too fast)

[Outro]
I'd like to say peace to my crew The Flavor Unit
(The voice of a new generation)
Also I'd like to say peace to my man Tone Lōc got me over to smoke a fat one when I’m done
And I'd also like to say peace to the new batch cause the rhythm is rolling
Also peace to the Zulu Nation, my man Divine Styler you definitely in the house
Can do behind the mix board you know what you're doing G
And my man Cockney for coming down and getting crazy funky on the track
This also goes out to my understanding Julius, Kamal from Youth and Soul, my boys The Soul Brother
And my man Lester far right on the guitar tip, and to all our youth, keep striving and keep rolling till the wheels fall off
