Generation

[Intro: Mac Miller]

Yeah

What up, Rap?

You good? Aight, I'm 'bout to—okay, cool

[Verse 1: Mac Miller]

These generations, combination of generations

Levitatin' through matrixes

Baby, heaven's waitin'

I feel naked, consider the fact that hell is vacant

The temptation was just your imagination

Listen, we know the feelin' like a nursery rhyme

Blood rushes to the head, make a burgundy mind

News anchor, I channel Ron Burgundy's mind

Cut the lights, turn your church to a shrine

Now you blind, so

Fuck the cops, if your daddy one, fuck ya pops

I hate the personality, but girl, I love the box

Something's off, they poppin' a penicillin

I'm illin', your paper thin as Sicilian crust

Warnin' civilians, they aimin', they here, they killin' us

Still, I must continue to venture into outer space

You got ** **** inside your mouth, tell me how it taste

I'm—I'm not—I'm just—I'm just sayin'

[Chorus: Jared Evans & Rapsody]

'Cause we are meant for somethin'

Even though that we feel like we're nothin'

Because it's our generation, oh

Our (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Generation (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh

[Verse 2: Rapsody]

Yo, fisherman buckets, double cups (Uh)

I only lean on family and double on my Dutch (Uh)

Generation hope faith is tomorrow's trust

Land of milk and honey, all the boys found it inside a bus (Woo)

Only lust for the feelin' of large city's dust

I could pierce the night with a light, bright as a delta's tusk (Yeah)

We either shine through it or not

Where your block, whether east or west

We don't go stressin' unless it's cops, shit

Justice ain't for us (Uh), I've come to that conclusion

Wildin' out in my mind, they lost in they illusions (Uh)

Dear Momma say, my Momma sigh

We die too young, she told me, "Have fun, YOLO lie"

She told me try, I had no time, go for broke

Life deep, but unlike a reef, I could stay afloat

Never drown, say somethin' profound by the pound

We keep a lot of soul, like Kenneth Cole walkin' through the town (Woo)

My generation yes (Yes), my generation no (No)

My generation ain't stressin', burnin' that chemical

Higher pinnacle when I pen a flow of this magnitude

My third eye off the hour of all this on the news

In the battle, they rattled to see a Black and Jew

Stand for the lives of all that died like me and you

We don't see color or class, we more powerful

Generation change, we rearrangin' they attitude (Attitude)

[Chorus: Jared Evans & Rapsody]

'Cause we are meant for somethin'

Even though that we feel like we're nothin'

Because it's our generation, oh

Our (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Generation (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, uh, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Uh, our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Yeah, our gene—our gene—our generation, our gene—our generation)

Oh (Our gene—our gene—our generation, uh, our gene—our generation, yeah, yeah)

Oh
