《Revolutionary Generation》歌词

[00:00:03] I get down to what it is

[00:00:05] And if it ain't funky (see ya)

[00:00:08] People askin' me what's goin' on

[00:00:09] With my mind

[00:00:11] (Huh) wait a minute

[00:00:21] It's just a matter of race

[00:00:21] Cause a black male's in their face

[00:00:22] Step back for the new jack swing

[00:00:25] On the platter scatter huh

[00:00:26] We got our own thing

[00:00:29] Just jam to let the rhythm run

[00:00:31] Day to day, America eats it's young

[00:00:33] And defeats our women

[00:00:34] There is a gap so wide we all can swim in

[00:00:37] Drown in (uh get down) an get it

[00:00:40] Got it goin' on wit it

[00:00:41] Sister (hey) soul sister

[00:00:44] We goin' be all right

[00:00:45] It takes a man to take a stand

[00:00:47] Understand it takes a

[00:00:48] Woman to make a stronger man

[00:00:50] (As we both get strong)

[00:00:51] They'll call me a crazy Asiatic

[00:00:52] While I'm singin' a song

[00:00:54] Oh my god, oh my lord

[00:00:56] I can't hold back

[00:00:56] But I get exact on a track

[00:00:57] It's an eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth

[00:01:00] Forget about me

[00:01:01] Just set my sister free

[00:01:02] R-e-s-p-e-c-t my sisters, not my enemy

[00:01:06] (Cause we'll be stronger together)

[00:01:08] And make the suckers say

[00:01:08] (Damn) this generation

[00:01:19] They don't know what we got goin' is (sound)

[00:01:22] To turn it all around

[00:01:23] To my sisters I communicate

[00:01:24] With the bass and tone

[00:01:25] Through speakers and the microphone

[00:01:27] Cause I'm tired of America dissin' my sisters

[00:01:29] (For example, like they dissed Tawana)

[00:01:32] And they try to say she's a liar

[00:01:33] My people don't believe it

[00:01:35] But even now they're getting higher

[00:01:36] Of the feeling inspiration

[00:01:38] We must know that in this nation

[00:01:40] Every single generation

[00:01:42] (They teach us how to dis our sisters)

[00:01:44] Strange as you say, I say revolution

[00:01:46] Need for change brings on revolution

[00:01:48] The great book just look see solution

[00:01:51] God chooses who and what for the bruisin'

[00:01:53] There's been no justice for none

[00:01:54] Of my sisters

[00:01:55] Just us been the ones that's been missin' her

[00:01:57] Now we got to protect

[00:02:00] We get together and damn this generation

[00:02:02] I said so to what it is

[00:02:03] Where it is

[00:02:03] She needs a lil' respect

[00:02:04] There it is

[00:02:05] I say she needs a lotta

[00:02:07] Brother from a mother like me has gotta

[00:02:09] Give it up

[00:02:10] Give it now

[00:02:11] And pass it all around

[00:02:13] To my soul (sister)

[00:03:04] They disrespected mama and treated her like dirt

[00:03:07] America took her, reshaped her, raped her

[00:03:10] Nope, it never made the paper

[00:03:12] Beat us, mated us

[00:03:14] Made us attack our woman in black

[00:03:16] So I said sophisticated B, don't be one

[00:03:19] Not to head the warning crack of dawn

[00:03:21] Or is it the dawn of crack?

[00:03:22] Stop the talk they say, but

[00:03:23] We talk and say what's right or wrong

[00:03:25] Some say we wasting time singin' a song

[00:03:27] But why is it that we're many different shades

[00:03:29] Black woman's privacy invaded years and years

[00:03:31] You cannot count my mama's tears

[00:03:33] It's not the past but the future's

[00:03:35] What she fears

[00:03:36] Strong we be strong

[00:03:37] The next generation

[00:03:38] It's what not who we are facin'

[00:03:40] The fingers pointed to us in our direction

[00:03:42] The blind state of mind needs correction

[00:03:44] Word to the mother we tighten connection

[00:03:46] To be a man you need no election

[00:03:48] This generation generates a new attitude

[00:03:50] Sister to you we should not be rude

[00:03:52] So we come together

[00:03:53] And make 'em all say

[00:03:55] Damn this generation
