Major - Generation (Y) lyrics

[Skit: Homeless Man] ...got the serious look just like ya'll got That searing, intense look 'Cause they tryna find his way, he tryna figure it out It's frustratin' I'm tryna listen to God, I'm--I got my own flesh in my... Pullin' me here, my own desires, my family, my friends All these things, it's distractin' me from this truth and it's difficult to give in... [Verse 1: John Givez] My confidence was confiscated by the complicated and convoluted culture we livin' in Out of guesstimation the desired destination is a tireless journey but I ain't givin' in The times are pivotin', I'm sure we in the last days And I'm on my last dollar homie, tell me get paid "Come get with these fast ways!" Think I need to slow down 'Cause knowin' what I know now, it's never beneficial to bend a picture in places Never been official to run a marathon in races I'm not your Malcolm X, [?], or Martin Luther But I'm down to bring the truth to a beautiful generation Still struggle with using my wisdom in troubled places She placin' her hands on me, I'm trying hard to pace it Trying hard to say that I'm not trying at all Or maybe I am trying, just not trying to fall [Hook] Regenerate a generation You got to use your mind It's gonna be frustration Don't fret, it just takes time [Homeless Man] Everybody in a hurry, I don't know where they going But when they get there, ooh they gon' be sorry! [Verse 2: John Givez] I guess I need to take my time wit' it I'm guessin' that you can't relate I'm guessin' we should all just settle down and find some time to pray I know that we can't see tomorrow, we just livin' in today And a wise man told me use my pain and special aide That being under pressure's great Use my weakness as his strengths I know that as a listener that's difficult to calculate I guess that you can count on me 'Cause being held accountable is what I know I really need Now to my deep valley feelings, you don't stop And to my mid-town militant, get guaps And to my east-side brothers that mob the streets And all my south [?] chillin' on the beach I wrote this just to let you know that truthfully I feel your pain And if you're listenin' across the globe, this here is gain Because you feel the same even where you ain't from We all troubled by the water when the wave come Generation Y [Hook] [Homeless Man] The faster you try to get there, that career, that money... And you gon' figure it out that, man... it was the journey It was not the destination You gonna hurry to get there, the come up, the be-this, the be-that And when you get there, you gonna feel discouraged more than you did before you even started
