Verse 1
Mama (A minor) 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
If you wanna (D minor) win,
(A minor) 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 major) As (A minor) 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
is how I (C major) dish my juice
A (A minor) 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
8, 7, 6, 5, see we (C major) can't keep it
poppin' in this game
Cause we live,
a new surprise in your face when you turn around
And I (A minor) got to do what I got to do
If you (C major) clown, I'll put (G minor) some work with you
Get a generation cause they (D minor) down
Make a way for the new (C major) generation
(D minor) To have a chance to be all (C major) they can be
Write (D minor) a plan for the true (C major) inspiration
So don't (D minor) take their hope away
(C major) My ghetto generation,
(D minor) moves on next time
(C major) My ghetto inspiration, (D minor) behind the sign (C major)
My ghetto motivation, (D minor) sink in my head
(C major) My ghetto generation, (D minor) so bad I am (C major)
For a (A minor) 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
and it really makes me (C major) wonder
what I (A minor) 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
and my bond is my (C major) word
and I (A minor) won't give up hope
till my soul will be gone
In order to achieve,
I got to be (C major) lieve in me, (A minor) see
So I can reach my destiny,
still waters run deep from
your head to your feet
(C major) My (A minor) mama said I picked you
up the devil's right hand
Always (C major) trusting God
and never kill another man
This is a lesson that I never will forget
Cause (A minor) life is rough and tough
with a lot of bull (C major) shit
But (G minor) no matter what, I gotta stay (C major) with it
Make (D minor) a way for the new (C major) generation
(D minor) To have a chance to be all (C major) they can be
Write (D minor) a plan for the true (C major) inspiration
So don't (D minor) take them home boy (C major)
My ghetto generation,
(D minor) who's on this side? (C major)
My ghetto inspiration, (D minor) me on the side
(C major) My ghetto motivation, (D minor) take it my way
(C major) My ghetto generation, (D minor) I'm so bad
I re (C major) fuse to (A minor) be a victim
of the ghetto
in my (C major) day and age
(A minor) A black child with a dream,
I face much rage
A mom's fightin' with the state
to get her (C major) child back
(A minor) My daddy workin' as a hack
to fill my lunch sack
And then the day came,
when my (C major) daddy changed
(A minor) Forgettin' he was kin
and started doin' strange things
My world rearranged,
my life (C major) crumbles in a (A minor) minute
It seemed it would be better if I wasn't in it
And then a revolution
comin' from the (C major) man above
(A minor) An inspiration of the possibilities in love
My future life will hold,
if I stay (C major) strong and bold
And (A minor) go on against the madness
of the past
and let my life unfold
(C major) And now I'm here to tell the generation
up and comin'
Determination in your faith
and God will keep you running
(A minor) And when you feel those ghetto troubles
take you (C major) for a ride
(G minor) Re member CBK is there to
watch your hindsight
(D minor) Make a way for the new (C major) generation
(D minor) To have a chance to be all (C major) they can be
(D minor) Light a path full of true (C major) inspiration
So don't (D minor) take their hope away
(C major) Ghetto generation,
(D minor) who's on their side? (C major)
Ghetto inspiration, (D minor) me how I fly
(C major) Ghetto motivation, (D minor) take it my way (C major)
Ghetto generation, (D minor)
who's on their side? (C major)
Ghetto generation, (D minor) who's on their side?
(C major) I get no inspira (D minor) tion, told me how to fly (C major)
I get no motivation, (D minor) take it right away (C major)
I get no generation,
(D minor) who's more than I am (C major)
I get no generation, (D minor) who's honest I'm (C major)
I get no inspira (D minor) tion, told me how to fly
(C major) I get all motivation
(D minor) Kick in the head
(C major) I get all generation
(D minor)
