Talkin' About My Generation


I am the muscle I am the might I am the hustle I am the fight I am the struggle I am the strength The tug of War The love against I am an ocean Though look a puddle My water runs deep You could drown befuddled I am misunderstood At times, I’m mystery I am the future I am not history I am the hope I am the seed An acorn with ambition Of a tall oak tree I’m living with my folks I’m eating junk food I’m totally stoked I’m high…on life, dude I am Jazz I am Funk I am Pop I am Punk I am sex, drugs And rock ‘n’ roll I am college. partying Outta control I’m careless and free My head in the clouds Still I stand firm My feet on the ground I’m on the cusp I’m rising up Ten young bucks Short of having enough I am the truth With no trust fund Just rhythm and blues I am the young
