Lyrics

Generation

Hook (x2): Jack (8 bars)

Time, I regret wasting

Rhyme with annotation

Focus on money making

And not what these kids are saying

Verse 1: Cathartic (16 bars)

Ladies first, to start this verse

All hail the queen who’s about to reverse

The negative stereotypes were left with

So now I’m gonna shove my knowledge to the next kid

Open your eyelids, be respective

Tired of all the predators trying to text kids

Gentlemen gentlemen you gotta tell me man

When the negativity is going to end

When’s it been okay to unlawfully target

See a damsel in distress get up and guard it

Boys and girls keep dating online

Keep it up and you'll be soon to find

Another predator, advancing on advantages

Stay away from government allowances

Don't call me and older disappointer

Approachable, don’t think I’m above ya

Hook (x2): Jack (8 bars)

Time, I regret wasting

Focus on money making

And not what these kids are saying

Verse 2: Cathartic (12 bars)

Visually, lyrics written in heaven

Lyrically, productive twenty-four/seven

Thoughts re-occurring while the page gets blurry

Why’s a rapper spitting, without the cursing?

Why are false concepts ruining television?

I’m standing up, against the dangerous visions

In and out, like a piston I’m persisting in

The flaws in the countries worlds and the system

I'm listing, revolution I’m wishing

A child to adulthood not good

Lose his innocence I wish her never would

Could we slow down, drink smoke fight

Sex and drugs body found late night

Take flight down street on a bike

Blue and red lights white beam flashlights

Stomach pumps crying mums, tonight

Hook (x2): Jack (8 bars)

Time, I regret wasting

Focus on money making

And not what these kids are saying

Verse 3: Latisha cbe(16 bars)

It's the same every day when you watch the news

Somebody getting killed behind the hands of blues

Or a child loses they life when they study in school

And the government sit back not having a clue

A brother locked down that's incarcerated

Never did a crime but he not emancipated

Sit back on my life while a contemplate

If life worth living would this world be less racist

We fight for the struggle, living for the hustle

Take 10 steps up and they try to bust the bubble

Bet they'd rather see me bad, dead or in trouble

But I’m built for the tough they will never see me crumble

Got my hand to the sky, finger up high

Never giving up on the march till I die

Cos I’m living in the world where the mother has to cry

Where they drop to their knees to the lord asking why

Bridge: Swmc Trell (12 bars)

Stay focused never give up

Stay focused don't let it up

Stay focused just do you

Try and do your best, listen

In this generation everybody gone hate

But who tests the feels to your fate

Just get your bread up and keep it going

Can't turn my head back cos people boring

Don't have much time for the haters stacking up the bread

You were my man fucking with the cops now your dead

Can’t another nigga stop my energy

Cos I wouldn't beef for it and that's on me, Trell
