《Next Generation》歌词

[00:00:00] Next generation - wyclef jean

[00:00:04] Hold on now don't die now be strong now

[00:00:11] He said I was born a crack baby

[00:00:16] In a plastic bag in the alley

[00:00:18] Raised in a foster home

[00:00:20] With no mother to love and I never knew my papi

[00:00:24] Back in the days of Bobby McFerrin

[00:00:26] Used to sing don't worry be happy

[00:00:28] Lord how can I be happy

[00:00:31] When I don't even know my own family tree Lord

[00:00:34] We are the next generation we ain't scared to die

[00:00:39] The only thing I fear is the after life

[00:00:45] Cos I don't know what's there on the other side

[00:00:50] But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try

[00:00:56] Gang poppin' things doing drive-by's and angers

[00:00:58] Kids going to school putting fears in their teacher

[00:01:01] The teacher let them know that it ain't all good

[00:01:03] Cos the gang was created to protect the neighborhood now

[00:01:07] All you red now all you blue now

[00:01:09] All you yellow now follow me now

[00:01:12] To that place of righteousness

[00:01:14] Where the only thing that matters is your consciousness he said

[00:01:17] We are the next generation we ain't scared to die

[00:01:22] The only thing I fear is the after life

[00:01:27] Cos I don't know what's there on the other side

[00:01:33] But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try

[00:01:39] In my father's kingdom there are many mansions

[00:01:45] All the rooms are free there is no tax collection

[00:01:50] I can see Biggie Tupac Moses and Abraham

[00:01:55] Jason the one and two's jamming with the sun of man

[00:02:00] I've been kicked I've been stabbed

[00:02:01] I've been shot I've been by a

[00:02:03] Person that I thought I trusted where I live

[00:02:05] It's a war at the cribs walk with a strap

[00:02:08] Myself cos I don't want nobody's son on my back

[00:02:11] My mind playing tricks to really

[00:02:13] Me out in five unless I take another hit

[00:02:16] I done seen the sun set on the other side of town

[00:02:19] Now I'm drifting in the darkness Heaven hold me down

[00:02:23] But I know I'm born dying

[00:02:24] Feel the tears of the angels looking down on me crying

[00:02:27] For a lying ass but yo forgive us in a while

[00:02:30] And I'm sorry never let me forget that I'm your child

[00:02:32] While I'm locked up in this basement staring eye to eye with Satan

[00:02:36] In this cold dark world with no patience

[00:02:38] We get plotted on by agents with talks of replacing

[00:02:40] The Africans Jamaicans and the Haitians in this next generation

[00:02:44] We are the next generation we ain't scared to die

[00:02:49] The only thing I fear is the after life

[00:02:54] Cos I don't know what's there on the other side

[00:02:59] But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try

[00:03:05] Whoa we the next generation look at what we facing

[00:03:08] The kids raise themselves all kind of temptation

[00:03:10] Flowers and candles decorating all the pavements

[00:03:13] No the perpetrator ain't seeing no arrangements

[00:03:16] Nobody cares about the feelings of the poor

[00:03:18] Man they suffer while we spending eighty billion on a war uh

[00:03:21] Cutting school budgets US stockmarket plummets

[00:03:24] Condition's only worse and I wonder what become it

[00:03:26] Metal detectors replace music classes

[00:03:29] Angry little kids wanna beat their teacher's asses

[00:03:32] The red and blue's somebody gotta lose

[00:03:34] Reality TV be reality for who

[00:03:37] I don't question what the Lord found in me

[00:03:40] I just pass it on to folks with no boundaries

[00:03:42] Got a long road ahead of us AIDS already gettin' us

[00:03:45] Now we got stars how many will there be left of us

[00:03:48] We are the next generation we ain't scared to die

[00:03:53] The only thing I fear is the after life

[00:03:59] Cos I don't know what's there on the other side

[00:04:04] But I pray the Lord forgives me gives me one more try
