Generation Y
|
Fuck a 9 to 5
|
We live how we live
|
Cause we all gonna die
|
Said we live how we live
|
Cause we all gonna die
|
We live how we live
|
This is Generation Y
|
|
(Verse 1)
|
Clinton era fella
|
Post-crack era
|
I grew up around Bush's war on terror
|
I grew up on Dipset
|
Clean Nikes and white tee sets
|
Niggas only for after school
|
And that recess
|
Sippin' quarter waters
|
Probably spittin' to a young queen
|
Had the long Rocawear jeans underneath me
|
Right above sock, had the beef and broc
|
Timberland boot like the Lost Boy Troop
|
RIP Freaky Ty, Queens shit 'til I die
|
OGs told me
|
When you make it, multiply
|
Don't coward, don't flake
|
Trust no snake
|
Look a man in his eye
|
With every move you make
|
That's what I live by
|
'Til the day I do die
|
Since the days niggas got jacked
|
For Nextels, call black eyes
|
Since the day I got jacked for my bike on Hillside
|
I took that, I ate that
|
Then jacked me a new ride
|
|
(Hook)
|
|
(Verse 2)
|
High school was nothing but new kicks and pussy
|
Poppin' a young freak, back row at a movie
|
Takin' a car with no license or knowledge
|
Then swervin' through Queens with no dreams about college
|
Young and reckless
|
Fuckin' hoes unprotected
|
Gettin' checked, then callin' her up for seconds
|
Swear that I never learn
|
Watchin' fights right on the curb
|
Peep the cops, tell me the word
|
Dippin' out when burners squirt
|
Pop pop, hear the Glock drop, then we out
|
Took a left and changed my route
|
Met up at my nigga's house
|
Played 2k and talked shit
|
'Bout bitches with nice lips
|
Fresh kicks, new clothes
|
And bein' fly for new hoes
|
Made sure my Js were OG and DS
|
SB from Nike and 3 from Adidas
|
My mindset back then, I still keep now
|
Swear I never learn and I never knew how
|
|
(Hook)
|
|
(Verse 3)
|
These days, cloud 9
|
Metaphor for my mind
|
I black out, cause these days
|
I seldom see sunshine
|
College, they pimpin'
|
My mom with tuition
|
And if I was learnin'
|
Then damn son, I missed it
|
The system ain't shit but hoes and tricks
|
So I tell the world to suck my dick
|
Two wars plus one recession
|
Plus some niggas with a bunch of weapons
|
Sprinkle in a politician
|
Thinkin' jobs is what we missin'
|
America, this is what you made
|
A generation trying to find its way
|
You tell young niggas that we gotta get paid
|
But if you got no diploma, you turn us away
|
Me and my niggas bastards
|
Fuck what y'all done heard
|
Fuck your whole life
|
Your TV and your concern
|
We live in real life
|
Mobb Deep and Soul Train
|
No sleep for niggas like me, thats on they grind
|
|
(Hook)
