New Gens

Lyrics

[Intro: Sample] Growing up is a strange and exciting experience Full of pleasure, pain and wonder And everyone asks themselves: How will I turn out? [Verse 1: Chuck D] Weird, I'm weird too, but damn you weird Can't stand the way you, goddamn you weird Oh say you can't see, but can you listen for a minute? If you cannot see it, but cannot hear it Whoa, new gens can't dance to this, new gens don't listen to it I don't get near it, bullshit, you like none of what you heard Or gave five mics, word, words matter like hell they don't You can go to hell, I sure won't, you mixin' this with that That with this, еverything flavors, every gеneration got its favorites [Chorus: Chuck D] New Gens, spark the engine Number, number nine I've been your age, you ain't been mine yet And don't forget, New Gens, I love y'all, have a ball New Gens, spark the engine Number, number nine I've been your age, you ain't been mine yet And don't forget, New Gens, I love y'all, have a ball [Interlude: Sample] Each of us will at some time or other, go through four major periods of growing up [Verse 2: Chuck D] My generation, weird as hell As told from my people, let them tell Their generation crazy told As they smoke, drank and rock and roll Seeing uncles explain war to my face Live in Peace Rest in place, we don't know what's behind the race Right here, right now, the place to be Why everybody's always pickin' on we? We the people, cross all ages Now joined by a screen between Called Screen Agers, no remix I said it before, backed by weird science That's right, what's behind us? We keep it on, look out! [Chorus: Chuck D] New Gens, spark the engine Number, number nine I've been your age, you ain't been mine yet And don't forget, New Gens, I love y'all, have a ball New Gens, spark the engine Number, number nine I've been your age, you ain't been mine yet And don't forget, New Gens, I love y'all, have a ball [Verse 3: Daddy-O] Call me a dinosaur, I'm up for the internet Impressed teachers, but I'm far from the class pet No Baby Keem, I represent the first team A little refeer, but you never see me drink lean Shock value to the 31st power of the number two New gens, who knew? The same Daddy-O from the band Stetsasonic Reppin' with new gens, and you knoew he be up on it 2016, I think I found the holy grail Picked up my mic again, I knew I couldn't fail I start considerin' the odds, what I'm gonna lose? But I ain't losin' nothin', YouTube my interviews They say I got no filter, I'm wonderin' if it's true But when you speak the truth, so funk ain't into you I been accused of trollin', they say I'm chasin' clout Some people claim they legends, but don't put nothin' out Some people claim they legends, but don't put nothin' out
