Verse 1
Am 
Mama told me,
one day you're gonna change,
gonna be a man
Hope you feel me,
do the best you do, the best you can
Dm 
If you wanna win,
Am 
then you gotta be strong
Cause a man starts from within yourself
Down in your soul
Yeah, yeah, tell me is you with us?
Can you feel us?
Try to be us, but you can't see us
We a ghetto generation
and we quick to bust
C 
Am 
As the year 97 slides out on
In 98 you got to catch a player if you want him
I float my jewels and I floss my whip
In the 98's a burger drop
C 
is how I dish my juice
Am 
A strap on my hip, fly a hoochie at my side
A car full of niggas screamin'
thug at me ride
Poppin' straight out the gate,
comin' through with a crate
I funked up my rhymes
just to keep your mind straight
C 
8, 7, 6, 5, see we can't keep it
poppin' in this game
Cause we live,
a new surprise in your face when you turn around
Am 
And I got to do what I got to do
C 
Gm 
If you clown, I'll put some work with you
Dm 
Get a generation cause they down
C 
Make a way for the new generation
Dm 
C 
To  have a chance to be all they can be
Dm 
C 
Write a plan for the true inspiration
Dm 
So don't take their hope away
C 
My ghetto generation,
Dm 
moves on next time
C 
Dm 
C 
My ghetto inspiration, behind the sign
Dm 
My ghetto motivation, sink in my head
C 
Dm 
C 
My ghetto generation, so bad I am
Am 
For a lot of me, years cry tears,
heart filled with fear
How can you care
when life is so unfair?
The world is like a jungle
C 
and it really makes me wonder
Am 
what I gotta do to maintain and
keep from going under
Lacerations run deeper than inspirations
but I'm making preparation
for the next generation
My word is my bond
C 
and my bond is my word
Am 
and I won't give up hope
till my soul will be gone
In order to achieve,
C 
Am 
I got to believe in me, see
So I can reach my destiny,
still waters run deep from
your head to your feet
C 
Am 
My mama said I picked you
up the devil's right hand
C 
Always trusting God
and never kill another man
This is a lesson that I never will forget
Am 
Cause life is rough and tough
C 
with a lot of bullshit
Gm 
C 
But no  matter what, I gotta stay with it
Dm 
C 
Make a way for the new generation
Dm 
C 
To  have a chance to be all they can be
Dm 
C 
Write a plan for the true inspiration
Dm 
C 
So don't take them home boy
My ghetto generation,
Dm 
C 
who's on this side?
Dm 
My ghetto inspiration, me on the side
C 
Dm 
My ghetto motivation, take it my way
C 
Dm 
My ghetto generation, I'm so bad
C 
Am 
I refuse to be a victim
of the ghetto
C 
in my day and age
Am 
A   black child with a dream,
I face much rage
A mom's fightin' with the state
C 
to get her child back
Am 
My  daddy workin' as a hack
to fill my lunch sack
And then the day came,
C 
when my daddy changed
Am 
Forgettin' he was kin
and started doin' strange things
My world rearranged,
C 
Am 
my life crumbles in a minute
It seemed it would be better if I wasn't in it
And then a revolution
C 
comin' from the man above
Am 
An  inspiration of the possibilities in love
My future life will hold,
C 
if I stay strong and bold
Am 
And go on against the madness
of the past
and let my life unfold
C 
And now I'm here to tell the generation
up and comin'
Determination in your faith
and God will keep you running
Am 
And when you feel those ghetto troubles
C 
take you for a ride
Gm 
Re  member CBK is there to
watch your hindsight
Dm 
C 
Make a way for the new generation
Dm 
C 
To  have a chance to be all they can be
Dm 
C 
Light a path full of true inspiration
Dm 
So don't take their hope away
C 
Ghetto generation,
Dm 
C 
who's on their side?
Dm 
Ghetto inspiration, me how I fly
C 
Dm 
C 
Ghetto motivation, take it my way
Dm 
Ghetto generation,
C 
who's on their side?
Dm 
Ghetto generation, who's on their side?
C 
Dm 
C 
I get no inspiration, told me how to fly
Dm 
C 
I get no motivation, take it right away
I get no generation,
Dm 
C 
who's more than I am
Dm 
C 
I get no generation, who's honest I'm
Dm 
I get no inspiration, told me how to fly
C 
I get all motivation
Dm 
Kick in the head
C 
I  get all generation
Dm
