[Spoken] Rap, is just a stem A part on the branch That comes from what we are all about [Verse 1: Slow V] Yo, turn my mic up I want to make sure they hear me Loud and clear on this one Yo this a new generation we live in, it's different Where the government creates a space for every black in prison They said the banned prejudice it's still all the same Black man can't find a job unless he got a white name They brain wash us into thinking we need to be luxurious Live above our income, can't make no payments We used to judge on actions, back then we had principle Nowadays they rather see you sleep with the minerals School board can't afford to keep the teachers These kids will pray to Sponge Bob before they pray to Jesus Even church ain't the same they got you paying for a seizure Work hard get paid just to lace up the preacher It's not sacred no more, we're losing the Holy War I seen more people remarried, then blacks with bad credit scores Over night lovers, families without structure Kids without parents and babies becoming mothers Even hip-hop done changed, this sh** is just made ruckus n***a sh**s over a beat and the people love it That's why I pa** it down the line, so you can pa** it down the line So they'll never forget the true origin of rhyme [Chorus 2X: Slow V] Slow V, this is my new generation theory Retro, this is his new generation theory S.R. this our new generation theory Yes y'all, this our new generation theory [Spoken] Everywhere in the world Every high school, every junior high school Every elementary school, got a rapper in it So something that at one time in the early '70's & '80's Was a novelty, now is every day [Verse 2: Retrospect] Uh, yea Just listen Acceptance, the downfall of the human society It's irony, no need to buy CDs because of piracy Acceptance, lesbian adoptions and gay doctors Wanting a call from the state office is straight non-sense In gay alters, holy matrimony marriage Having s** with dead bodies, horny cats will only cherish Acceptance, sadomasochistic, no exceptions Anorexics will be in effect as a human investment Corrupted elections, and nothing is mentioned Your daughter's f**ing with gangsters with d** on her necklace The good is slowly fading; it's time for f**ing action That's why I wrote this rhyme, to make sure it doesn't happen Infections, infections, somewhere down the line there's a misconception Which will lead to an acceptance, don't misconceive the message Just pa** the knowledge chisel it in stone So it will always be known that the start of hip-hop, was in the Bronx by Jamaicans So when you hear this song pa** it to your generation You'll pa** it down the line so he can pa** it down the line So they'll never forget the true origin of rhyme [Chorus 2X: Retrospect] Retro, this is my new generation theory Slow V, this is his new generation theory S.R. this our new generation theory Yes y'all, this our new generation theory [Spoken] Even though you don't sell records It has nothing to do with Your level of sk** as an emcee Or your credibility in hip-hop It might have something to do With your level of sk** or credibility In the corporate board rooms Whose bottom line is the dollar And how many records you can sell But who gives a f** about them and their opinion They know nothing about hip-hop
