Verse 1:
We don't got time for each other.
We don't got time.
Tell me, what's the point of living everyday just to struggle to survive?
We don't got time for each other.
We're always on the grind.
I don't even know what I live for, whatever is keeping me alive.
One day it's all good, next day it's all fine.
Til them days turn to weeks, then them weeks turn to months,
before you know it you just lived your whole life.
We say we don't got time for each other.
You know we're all lying.
You can't give your family an hour, but everyday you give your job nine.
We don't want time for each other.
We only want things we can buy.
Generation my, generation my, generation my, generation my
Chorus x2:
Generation my, generation my, generation my, generation my
Verse 2:
Everybody lies to each other.
Everybody lies.
Tell me that you'll see me around eight knowing really it'll be around nine.
Everybody lies to each other.
Be careful who you keep by your side.
If your homie is doing other people dirty,
when he does the same to you, then you shouldn't be surprised.
I see violence and sex on my TV, racism online.
Talking real tough on the Timeline,
you wouldn't say it if I looked you in the eye.
Everybody's selling lies to each other, but I don't ever buy.
I know a lot of people got a lot of things that they wanna hide.
We don't wanna lie to each other, we do it even when we don't try.
Generation my, generation my, generation my, generation my.
Chorus x2
Verse 3:
Rap game fucking up my cash.
Can't keep a good job, busy working on my craft
and gas ain't cheap, neither is getting taxis.
If I walk the police will harass me,
attack me if I don't do exactly everything they ask me.
Quick to hit another young rapper with a rap sheet.
Never see me run cause I'm not a great athlete.
I've never met an emcee that could out rap me.
Take the back seat while I drive at a fast speed.
Never check the rear view, forgot about last week.
Focused on the future but won't let the present pass me.
I fight for respect like a boy named Ashley.
"A Boy Named Sue", that's a song Johnny Cash sang.
Ash while I pass to the passenger, fast lane.
Always after more like my last name.
Hardcore chick gave me Bad Brains, fill her mouth with mayonnaise.
Wonder why we're sick when the food we eat is man-made.
FDA will look the other way to get the man paid.
Health care is fucked, give you drugs and a band-aid.
Long-term, what's it gonna fix? Not a damn thing.
Champagne dreams, get drunk, stay high.
Generation my, generation my, generation my, generation my
Chorus x4
