INTRO: {Boy Talking}
I had a dream that one day,
the guys in my generation will not be afraid to be themselves
but'll walk in the divine purpose that God has set
for their lives we gon be aight
{Girl Talking} I had a dream that one day,
the girls of my generation will have more self love,
respect themselves more, and walk in the divine purpose
that God has set for their lives We gon be okay *laughs*
[Gemstones]
Track jackets, dreads, true religion jeans and a weeded
smell. Everybody dressed alike deep as hell.
Unprepared for life could barely read or spell.
Shawties walking round scared to be themselves.
No one out there serving in the streets prevail.
Six feet below the ground or either jail.
Rappers that they follow after feed em tales.
Another generation's been set up to fail.
(Dying Breed)
If i can just make it through the night trying to find the life.
Its hard for me to say if I'll ever touch the sky cause
I'm so afraid to try. Dreams to break away, I know someday I'll fly
if the streets don't take my life
[Gemstones]
Tracks in they heads, blue extensions leap through
they feet and nails.In and out of smoke sessions chief
in' Ls skirts lifted, just enough to see they tails.
Everybody walking down the street denailed.
Granny raised the seed they've barely even held.
Attracting STDs more than they do males.
Lack of self esteem because of deep betrayal.
Another generation's been set up to fail
(Dying Breed)
Granny always said just pray through the night that my beauty's deep inside
It's hard for me to try and spread my wings and fly
cause my self esteem has died
I finally brought away what used to be my life if you can hear my cry
[Gemstones]Freedom bells, will never ring,
misled by what our leaders tell.
Speechless filled with information that could bleach you pale
But won't disclose it, please expose it I need more
details! The money's tall but everything should fall that comes from greed
Philosophies of prophecies or that of Socrates
the honeys dance for money bands that come at running speed
The stunning fans are thrilled as bills fill up the
floor with cheese. A mother overly protects us saves us from the fall
Tried they best to lock the doors but couldn't save
us all. If praying hands could heal a man and bring him back to life
And its done in Jesus' name then how can you deny the
Christ! This life is real,
my pints are filled with tools to break through stones
Send violent chills to watch your bones when you embrace
my songs.I hope and pray there'll come a day while walking on this trail
The God of faith will shine his grace and save us
from ourselves. Sometimes i close my eyes and hope
to God that we excel before we die.
The water's running dry inside the wells
the public schools that i attended should've been been
burned. The teachers said they still get paid if i
don't EVER learn. Our neighborhoods have been the destroyed.
The murder rate is huge
They pick and choose and half the deaths will never make the news!
The shawties fill the pipes cause they think that that's
how rappers live. I toured the planet twice and that
ain't how these rappers live!!!
The old condemn the young cause no respect for not
a soul The young say that the old Cannon connect because
they old. The women say the man's equivalent to civil dogs
The men say never trust a woman they'll betray your
fold. Lightskins say that dark is less cause they not
as fine. Darkskins say that lightskins just as filthy as the swine
The rich say they despise the poor cause they should
get they own. The poor say they despise the rich, just because they own
The saints say the sinners fold be caught up in the
crowds. The sinners say the saints all think they holy and endowed
The church say that the streets should live for Christ,
forgive and quit. The streets say that church are
filled with nothing but hypocrites!
I wish they never cut him off.
