[00:47.28] And then a we a star the show like the astronomy
[00:50.09] And how we keep on breaking through is an anomaly
[00:52.83] Because we keep remaining true without apology
[00:55.65] The mission ha to carry through and finish properly
[00:58.39] Say Gambia to Guadeloupe Paris to Napoli
[01:01.20] Say Zambia to Honolulu back to Tripoli
[01:04.01] And everybody want a future living happily

[01:29.59] Can you blame my generation' subjected gentrification'
[01:32.21] Depicting their frustrations over I'll instrumentation
[01:35.08] Cause music is the way to convey to you what I'm facing'
[01:37.83] Placing my life in front of your eyes for your observation
[01:39.95] Now if you can't relate then maybe you are too complacent'
[01:43.32] Athletes today are scared to make Muhammad Ali statements
[01:46.00] What's up with your motto?
[01:47.56] Will you lead? Will you follow?
[01:49.00] Improve your values
[01:50.12] Education is real power
[01:51.68] I reach em like Bono
[01:52.80] So get rid of your self sorrow
[01:54.43] Add some bravado
[01:55.74] Get wealthy likes Wells Fargo
[01:57.67] It's truth' that I am you
[01:59.54] And I am proof
[02:00.54] Surviving through
[02:00.92] We do what we gotta do
[02:03.35] Yo we could break the cycle let nobody lie to you
[02:06.04] Then maybe put our sons and our daughters in private school
[02:08.65] Cause there's a mission we gotta finish before we leave
[02:11.53] This generation is destined to do historic deeds.

[02:50.04] If we all come together then they can't divide one
