My Generation
Jr.Gong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My generation will 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)
This generation will make a change
(we bout to make a change)
Now mi love fi see the schoolas dem a graduate
A study hard and save the party for the holidays
Diplomatic with dem Diploma
And them bound fi great
Because dem nah pick up no matic and a perpetrate
And then I love the energies whe dem a generate
My Generation it so special it will make a change
Because the elders sew the seed and it a germinate
So anytime dem see the progress dem 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 ha to 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

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
(will make a change, will make a change)
This generation will make a change
(I swear we will, I swear this now yeah)

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
Whats 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 likes Wells Fargo
Its 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.

My generation will make a change
(ooh ooh ooh)
This generation will make a change
(my generation, this generation yes)
My generation will make a change
(will make a change, will make a change)
This generation will make a change
(this generation now)

Ugh if you weather that storm
Then that rain bring sun
Been a long time comin'
I know change gon' come
Man I gotta keep it movin' to the beat of my drum
Last night I set the future at the feet of my son
But they thinkin' that my generation gotta die young
If we all come together then they cant 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've never looked betta'
And I heard change start with man in the mirror ugh
This generation
I'm a represent
A generation led by a black president
Now hows that for change
Who knew that could change
I don't even look at the flag the same hey, ugh
So when you finish readin' revelations
Thank god for my generation

My generation will make a change yeah
This generation will make a change yeah
(this generation yeah)
My generation will make a change




(for good for better)
This generation will make a change yeah

Mi generación hará un cambio (ooh, haz un cambio) Esta generación hará un cambio (sí lo haremos, sí lo haremos) Mi generación hará un cambio (¿me escuchas ahora?) Esta generación hará un cambio (Estamos a punto de hacer un cambio, oooh) [Verso 1: Damian Marley] Ahora me encanta ver a los escolares que se gradúan Un estudio duro y guarda la fiesta para las vacaciones. Diplomático con ellos diploma, y ​​con destino a gran Porque ellos nah no recogen matic, y perpetran Y luego amo las energías, lo que generan Mi generación es tan especial, hará un cambio. Porque los ancianos cosen la semilla y germina Así que cada vez que ven el progreso, lo celebran Porque nos levantamos a pesar de la economía Y luego protagonizamos el espectáculo, como la astronomía Y cómo seguimos abriéndonos paso, es una anomalía Porque seguimos siendo fieles, sin disculpas La misión debe llevarse a cabo y terminar correctamente. Decir Gambia a Guadalupe, París a Nápoles Di Zambia a Honolulu, de vuelta a Trípoli Y todos quieren un futuro viviendo felices [Gancho: Joss Stone] Mi generación hará un cambio (Haré un cambio, haré un cambio, sí) Esta generación hará un cambio (Esta generación, sí) Mi generación hará un cambio (Haré un cambio, haré un cambio, te juro que lo haremos) Esta generación hará un cambio (Lo juro ahora, sí, ¡oye!) [Versículo 2: Nas] ¿Puedes culpar a mi generación? Gentrificación sometida Representando sus frustraciones, sobre mala instrumentación Porque la música es la forma de transmitirte lo que estoy enfrentando Poniendo mi vida frente a tus ojos para tu observación Ahora, si no puedes identificarte, entonces tal vez eres demasiado complaciente Los atletas de hoy tienen miedo de hacer declaraciones sobre Muhammad Ali ¿Qué pasa mañana? ¿Dirigirás? ¿Seguirás? Mejora tus valores, la educación es un poder real Los alcanzo como Bono, así que deshazte de tu dolor Agregue un poco de valentía, hágase rico como Wells Fargo Es verdad que yo soy tu y soy prueba Sobreviviendo, hacemos lo que tenemos que hacer Yo, podríamos romper el ciclo, dejar que nadie te mienta Entonces tal vez poner a nuestros hijos e hijas en una escuela privada Porque hay una misión que tenemos que terminar antes de irnos Esta generación está destinada a hacer hechos históricos [Gancho: Joss Stone] Mi generación hará un cambio Esta generación hará un cambio (Mi generación, esta generación, sí) Mi generación hará un cambio (Haré un cambio, haré un cambio, sí) Esta generación hará un cambio (¡Esta generación ahora, hey!) [Verso 3: Lil Wayne] Si capeas esa tormenta, entonces esa lluvia traerá sol Ha pasado mucho tiempo, sé que el cambio se ha ido Hombre, tengo que mantenerlo en movimiento al ritmo de mi tambor Anoche puse el futuro a los pies de mi hijo Pero ellos piensan que mi generación tiene que morir joven Si todos nos unimos, entonces no pueden dividir uno No se preocupe por eso; solo sé sobre eso Recibí un mensaje de Dios: el cielo está demasiado lleno Pero yo digo: Hey joven mundo, nunca te viste mejor Y escuché que el cambio comenzó con el hombre en el espejo, uh Esta generación, represento Una generación liderada por un presidente negro ¿Cómo va a cambiar eso? ¿Quién diría que eso puede cambiar? Ni siquiera miro la bandera igual, diablos Uh, entonces cuando termines de leer Apocalipsis Gracias a Dios por mi generación [Gancho: Joss Stone] Mi generación hará un cambio (si) Esta generación hará un cambio (sí) Mi generación hará un cambio (para bien, para mejor) Esta generación hará un cambio (sí)

"If we all come together then they cant divide one"

Say what you want about wayne he can put it down !!

Tyler Lee

Imma go out on a limb here and say they all went hard, not a weak verse on this track. Each artist talks about their views of their generations and comment on what they see through their eyes. Each convey their own message and I heard all of them loud and clear! Beautiful!

El_Piter33

Probably the most underrated track on the album

MARKEITH BROWN

Believe me…..it ain’t!!!! Very surprising how this track came out though👍🏿

Ace Many

It's underated because it sucks. Don't get caught up in the hype, just because he wears kuffie it don't mean that he's nice, it just means you don't understand all the bullshit that he writes.

POL4RB33R

I'm a Lil Wayne fan and even I am really surprised by his verse on this, it is definitely one of his best

Ksmuve37

Damien kicked the truth,Nas did the damn thing,
Wayne was on point this is a classic.

Carlos Carson

Ksmuve37 i know this sounds crazy, but weezy and nas need to make a collaboration album

DavT 86

Peep Wayne's syllabic counts (6,5,6,5) etc.. Whether he does it intentionally or not is irrelevant because the work still stands. Literary genius.
