Lyrics
[Chorus: Joss Stone] My generation will make a change (Ooh, we'll make a change) This generation will make a change (Yes, we will, yes, we will) My generation will make a change (Do you hear me now? We 'bout to make a change) This generation will make a change (Yeah) [Verse 1: Damian Marley] (Boom!) 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 sow 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: Joss Stone] My generation will make a change (We'll make a change, we'll make a change, yeah) This generation will make a change (This generation, yeah) My generation will make a change (We'll make a change, we'll make a change, we'll make a change, I swear we will) This generation will make a change (I swear it now, yeah! Hey!) [Verse 2: Nas] Can you blame my generation? Subjected gentrification Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation 'Cause 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 'em 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 'Cause there's a mission, we gotta finish before we leave This generation is destined to do historic deeds [Chorus: Joss Stone] My generation will make a change (Ooh, ooh, ooh) This generation will make a change (My generation, this generation, yeah) My generation will make a change (We'll make a change, we'll make a change, we'll make a change, yeah) This generation will make a change (This generation now, hey!) [Verse 3: Lil Wayne] If you weather that storm, then that rain bring sun Been a long time coming, I know change gon' come (We're makin' a change) Man, I gotta keep it moving to the beat of my drum Last night, I set the future at the feet of my son But they thinking that my generation gotta 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 start with the man in the mirror," uh This generation, I'mma 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 Uh, so when you finish reading Revelations (Revelations) Thank God for my generation [Chorus: Joss Stone] My generation will make a change, yes This generation will make a change, yeah My generation will make a change for good, for better This generation will make a change, yeah
