Next generation - wyclef jean[00:00:00]
Hold on now don't die now be strong now[00:00:04]
He said I was born a crack baby[00:00:11]
In a plastic bag in the alley[00:00:16]
Raised in a foster home[00:00:18]
With no mother to love and I never knew my papi[00:00:20]
Back in the days of Bobby McFerrin[00:00:24]
Used to sing don't worry be happy[00:00:26]
Lord how can I be happy[00:00:28]
When I don't even know my own family tree Lord[00:00:31]
We are the next generation we ain't scared to die[00:00:34]
The only thing I fear is the after life[00:00:39]
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side[00:00:45]
But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try[00:00:50]
Gang poppin' things doing drive-by's and angers[00:00:56]
Kids going to school putting fears in their teacher[00:00:58]
The teacher let them know that it ain't all good[00:01:01]
Cos the gang was created to protect the neighborhood now[00:01:03]
All you red now all you blue now[00:01:07]
All you yellow now follow me now[00:01:09]
To that place of righteousness[00:01:12]
Where the only thing that matters is your consciousness he said[00:01:14]
We are the next generation we ain't scared to die[00:01:17]
The only thing I fear is the after life[00:01:22]
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side[00:01:27]
But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try[00:01:33]
In my father's kingdom there are many mansions[00:01:39]
All the rooms are free there is no tax collection[00:01:45]
I can see Biggie Tupac Moses and Abraham[00:01:50]
Jason the one and two's jamming with the sun of man[00:01:55]
I've been kicked I've been stabbed[00:02:00]
I've been shot I've been by a[00:02:01]
Person that I thought I trusted where I live[00:02:03]
It's a war at the cribs walk with a strap[00:02:05]
Myself cos I don't want nobody's son on my back[00:02:08]
My mind playing tricks to really [00:02:11]
Me out in five unless I take another hit[00:02:13]
I done seen the sun set on the other side of town[00:02:16]
Now I'm drifting in the darkness Heaven hold me down[00:02:19]
But I know I'm born dying[00:02:23]
Feel the tears of the angels looking down on me crying[00:02:24]
For a lying ass but yo forgive us in a while[00:02:27]
And I'm sorry never let me forget that I'm your child[00:02:30]
While I'm locked up in this basement staring eye to eye with Satan[00:02:32]
In this cold dark world with no patience[00:02:36]
We get plotted on by agents with talks of replacing[00:02:38]
The Africans Jamaicans and the Haitians in this next generation[00:02:40]
We are the next generation we ain't scared to die[00:02:44]
The only thing I fear is the after life[00:02:49]
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side[00:02:54]
But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try[00:02:59]
Whoa we the next generation look at what we facing[00:03:05]
The kids raise themselves all kind of temptation[00:03:08]
Flowers and candles decorating all the pavements[00:03:10]
No the perpetrator ain't seeing no arrangements[00:03:13]
Nobody cares about the feelings of the poor[00:03:16]
Man they suffer while we spending eighty billion on a war uh[00:03:18]
Cutting school budgets US stockmarket plummets[00:03:21]
Condition's only worse and I wonder what become it[00:03:24]
Metal detectors replace music classes[00:03:26]
Angry little kids wanna beat their teacher's asses[00:03:29]
The red and blue's somebody gotta lose[00:03:32]
Reality TV be reality for who[00:03:34]
I don't question what the Lord found in me[00:03:37]
I just pass it on to folks with no boundaries[00:03:40]
Got a long road ahead of us AIDS already gettin' us[00:03:42]
Now we got stars how many will there be left of us[00:03:45]
We are the next generation we ain't scared to die[00:03:48]
The only thing I fear is the after life[00:03:53]
Cos I don't know what's there on the other side[00:03:59]
But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try[00:04:04]
