[Chorus – Joss Stone + Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
[Verse 1 – Damian Marley]
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 be great
Because dem nah pick up no matic and a perpetrate
And then I love the energies where dem a generate
My generation it so special it will make a change
Because the elders sold 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 has 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 happilyyyyy
[Chorus – Joss Stone + Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
[Verse 2 – Nas]
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 eye 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
It’s 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
[Chorus – Joss Stone + Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
[Verse 3 – Lil Wayne]
Uhh
If you wetter that storm, then that rain bring sun
Been a long time comin’, I know change gone 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 can’t 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 never looked better”
And I heard change start with the man in the mirror, uh
This generation, I’mma represent
A generation led by a black president
Now how’s that for change? Who knew that can change?
I don’t even look at the flag the same, yeah
Uh, so when you finish readin’ revelations
Thank God for my generation
[Chorus – Joss Stone + Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
