Neo Generation


WARNING

I have been sent out here to destroy you

CAUTION

I am approaching but I already forewarned you

I’m here to ALERT you to your doom, SIGNAL the storm

Because a THREAT’s approaching quick, ring the ALARM

See, that’s what I believe the older folks think when they think about our generation

And unlike store products, we didn’t come with directions or a warning label

 See, they hinting at our destruction

And I see signs of the media’s corruption

Putting heat to our lives and our reaction is combustion

They ain’t really wrong for thinking this could be the end to all our lives

Looking at the bigger picture as generations fly we become less wise

And I can take the heat but a cold hand is a premonition of death

And if our generation turns out lost, then in the end nothing’s left

Y’all steady blaming the president for the country’s downfall but this nation began broken

This country was founded on lies but you calling it a token

The U.S. is meant to be us, the United States of America

But this nation’s full of I’s the I.S., the Independent States of America

What’s so great about a country the whole world is afraid of?

But let’s talk about society and all the things that’s happening

Why the women always twerking it and the men steady capping it?

But say God is your witness and on Sunday you Christian and/or Catholic

MAYDAY, MAYDAY

Like this whole nation’s prepared for war

SOS, God gone need to save our generation’s souls

Cause y’all gone learn a LESSON about succession, not digression

Cause this recession’s so depressing, one SUGGESTION, stop what you doing without question

Because this current generation is gone have hell to pay

Y’all steady defeating the purpose because every day is the same day

It’s a shame when you see more blood stains than dirt stains

But it ain’t washed in soap, it’s clean in tears cause people cry when they in pain

And cops ain’t giving us mercy, they relentless because they fear us

So how they call it justice when in the end they killing just us

And where’s the trust

Cause people’s relationships are built straight lies and bold lust

Victimizing ourselves, because somehow no one’s the criminal and everybody’s the victim

You say “Do you ma” but turn around and just did him

You know, becoming clones of people you idolize, like Nicki did Lil Kim

But put a bullet in his brains, so in the end you just killed him

See this generation is filled with nothing but cowards

Quick to use a gun cause it’s the only way they feel power

And women…

Instead of using intellect for spread sheets they spread legs

So instead of scrambled or boiled, the men fertilizing these eggs

Men this generation must be jacked up in the head

But if you jack up and shack up, don’t act up when you got a baby that needs to be fed

This ain’t about hope, it’s what I see with my own eyes

Cause eyes tell no lies, and I spy with my brown eyes: depressing cries, shady guys, teary eyes and foggy skies

And all you try to do is antagonize and nowadays when hearts break people die

So traumatized so they commit to suicide or homicide

But why?

We lost so I think we need a little meditation

So we start this concentration, engage in contemplation

Think about our current situation

So we can turn it over and let God witness our new creation

But there’s hesitation

Come on man, when the hell y’all gone come to that realization

Jesus didn’t die on that cross just for us to keep on waiting

Right now I’m to the point where I have zero patience

When we gone set an example for ourselves and to others… This supposed to be the Neo Generation
