This Generation Lyrics

The most important thing we can Learn how to do today

Is to think for ourselves

It's good to keep wide open ears

And listen to what everybody else Has to say

But when you come to make a Decision

You have to weigh all of what You've heard

On its own and places where it Belongs

And then come to a decision for Yourself

And you'll never regret it

But if you fall in the habit of

Taking what someone else says About a thing

Without checking it out for Yourself

You'll find that other people

Will have you hating your own Friends

And loving their enemies

So this generation, especially our People

Have a burden upon themselves

More so than at any other time in History

The most important thing we can learn how to do today

Is to think for ourselves

The greatest story never told

The album never sold

The only testament

A guide inside Vig Soul

Too young and too early

To sound so damn late and old

Too hot to have gone cold

But still it took a hold

And that's my burden

Turned 30 and it's still my sermon

Except now I'm no longer hurting

Forever learning

It ain't too late to do some soul Searching

Cause growing up

Yeah Vig knew his right from Wrong

I knew my right from left

But still I chose to carry on

While disrespecting mom

Trying to prove I could be strong

Only showed the cowardice

That I kept hidden all along

Two older sisters

Sacrificed their youth

But kept their innocence

Still I got caught up

With shallow men

Indulging ignorance

Sorta like that Trayvon Martin Shit

With Zimmerman

Yeah homie

Call it that alpha male mentality

Regardless of the faculty

I have to be the best

But now that shit just baffles me

Blame my environment

Come on Vig

That's a weak excuse for sorry Men

So this generation

A burden upon themselves

More so than any other time in history

We falling by the wayside

Where our leaders at

Claiming that we stay high

We stay high

They stay high

They stay high

But you and I both know

They tell us lies

What a surprise

This generation's leaders are demise

So this generation

A burden upon themselves

More so than any other time in history

I got good at being broke

Easy come easy go

It's the sickest kind of joke

Must've seen at least a mil in my Life

Go up in smoke

While my bank account

Holds a couple grand at most

I never rep but wrecked

With many I.M.P.s

Wylos Latin kings and folks

Committing robberies

And larcenies

Atrocities

Baddest motherfuckers on the Block

Is what we oughta be

Ask em all

My name ring bells

Like Carnegie Hall

Ready to brawl at any given call

I was a monster y'all

But now I can tell

Niggas rapping about what they Sell

Was full of shit

Or they would all be sitting in a Cell

Album sales

Is what helped Jigga find his holy Grail

Young minds that fail

To grab the concept of them Doing well

Emulate they idols

And get thrown off the trail

End up dead or in jail

My generation started fresh

But most have gone stale

They on a boat with Captain Ahab

Seeking vengeance but to no avail

And it's insulting

Like a movie title scripted braille

It's good for nothing

We falling by the wayside

Where our leaders at

Claiming that we stay high

We stay high

They stay high

They stay high

But you and I both know

They tell us lies

What a surprise

This generation's leaders our Demise
