The Next Generation

Lyrics

[Intro] Autumn breeze, a spring tease Summer days and winter nights The seasons change and that's a fact Is it not? Domo arigato, ha, danke, merci, thank you [Verse 1] Mothers and daughters, fathers and sons Here's hoping you'll know the right time when it comes Like I did 'cause I knew though nobody told Me a damn thing about how life unfolds Right here before you, you can't even blink If you do you'll miss it, so take time to think About your position, your place in this world About what you're here for, so check it out, girl Boys to the right and you're in this, too Come on, be real now, can we count on you To be strong and to love us like through thin and thick With your heart and your soul, not the size of your dick [Interlude] Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh-huh So check this out Hey, what's this sitting in my lap? Why, it's the next generation And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have? Yes, it's the next generation [Verse 2] The children are the chosen ones Society's got it's priorities wrong The schools are closing down Don't be messing with our future Black babies, white babies Quarter Puerto Ricans, two sixths Chinese Any combination you could possibly imagine That this important as the ground we walk on People are people, you know what I mean? Even the baby with the portable phone Attached to its buggy and pushed by a clone And the black market baby, that unwanted baby For fifty thousand dollars, it belonged to the rich lady Didn't like his face, she said it didn't matter 'Cause her husband was a surgeon Ha ha ha ha, uh, sick Ain't that, ain't that, ain't that sick? Shucks, it breaks my heart Operate on a baby, uh, sick [Interlude] Hey, what's that sitting in my lap? Why, it's the next generation And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have? Yes, it's the next generation And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night Sometimes and mess on your clothes that you worry about Whether it's really worth the sacrifices that we all have to make No matter how rich or poor? Why, yes, they're the next generation, honey [Bridge] Free up [Verse 3] Push, push, push, in the bush Down on your knees with the birds and bees Your basic needs is what you're fulfilling This stork down this way must be making a killing 'Cause then in a month, she finds herself illin' You planted a seed that won't grow a tree 'Cause the loaf that's showing's a baby growing Inside there's a life that's well worth knowin', knowin', knowin' Ha ha ha ha ha ha, that's nasty, ain't it? If you're gonna do it, think before you do it And do it right - right? Yeah, yeah [Interlude] Hey, what's this sitting in my lap? Why, it's the next generation (Ah yeah) And do you know what comes from the best love in the world you could possibly ever have? Yes, it's the next generation And is it true that even though they keep you awake at night Sometimes and mess on your clothes that you worry about Whether it's really worth the sacrifices that we all have to make No matter how rich or poor? Why, yes, they're the next generation, honey, mmm [Outro] You know, you know, you see some people You look at them, right, old people Guys on the corner holding on Girls, right, walking along arm in arm Spittin' on the pavement or whatever And you wonder, right, if they've forgotten Or if they just can't remember that they ever were small one time 'Cause God knows we got to save the babies, right? 'Cause if we don't save the babies We ain't gon' have a world to live in, right? And God knows we love this world, right? Ain't that right? So right Right, right, right, right, right, haha
