Seen B - Generations lyrics
{verse 1} It didn't go down exactly as we planned Now i'm standing in the dark with the weapon in my hand I'm looking at my man he be shouting out commands I'm thinking to myself this is getting out of hand The two marks we're refusing to comply Then i looked up and saw three cameras in the sky fu*k this sh*t my turn to make a move If imma go to jail there be bodies on the news I step to the kid put the weapon to his throat Said "give it up quick. then the two of you can go." But hell no he had to be the hero So a fight broke out and we went blow for blow And in all the swinging grappling and stuff i happеned to stick my knife straight in his gut My dun grabbed his pockеts and we broke the fu*k out I seen blood on my knife but didn't figure it out {chorus} Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation {verse 2} We party through the night with the liquor and the brooze And when i woke up my face was up on the news Twenty years old now i'm locked inside a cage Just struggling to hold all the anger and the rage My future uncertain my family was hurtin' If i go to trial and i lose it will be curtains The noise and the chaos i couldn't even think Always tangent in the air always dealin' on the brink If a fight broke out then the bars go clink Now we on lockdown and the cell starts to stink A free man trapped in a two man cell Man i swear the worst intention was right next to hell Plus my case wasn't really looking too good They got an eyewitness and they say his evidence is good After two years in this sh*t i got a plea So they gave me eight more in the penitentiary {chorus} Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation {verse 3} Time went by and my pain got deeper I saw the death of my moms and my girl turned creeper Maybe it was because of this they gave me my parole But i still had to deal with bullsh*t from my po Stressin' me and sweatin' me sendin' me back And it went on and on like this until that That's when i got out and started to build Went and found myself a job and kept up with the bills Then i met the homie tom and showed him i could rap He said "sure. one day i'm gonna put you on a track." Now the wolfpack's my team 'cause he kept up his word And if you ask me i say i got what i deserved If i could do it again then nobody get hurt See my schooling til the end and continue to work I would've chilled down with the crime and continued to rap Kept developin' my mind and put my place on the map {chorus} Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation Straight from the heart this heart got me pacin' Reminiscin' back to the start the foundation No matter if you stupid or smart the foundation of poverty will blacken your heart my generation {outro} Yeah! word to the shawties out there: if you gonna do the crime, be prepared to do the time. forget about snitching 'cause these goons will find you. stay at school and get your mind right, kid! and to my homies locked up in the pen doing time, remember, probation and parole is a trap. they gonna send you back no matter what. that's all i gotta say. now you heard my story. seen b! and i'm out!
