They say it's no hope for the young generation, I beg to differ, I feel like we don't go there, you know,
y just gotta trust us, it's like they don't trust us, you think about it though, it's up to us to make it happen, for real
Don't worry about what happened then,
just know that we can win
Keep your head up and smile within,
you know we gon' make it
Doesn't matter if they don't believe,
you know we will succeed
Got through the bad times to live the good times,
we gon' make it
Now we pos sess some old
souls but we young folks
I figure
Generation
X'll give us some hope
We all some lost souls,
all seeking knowledge, bad
It's all the same,
whether drop out to college grads
And 2001 was tumultuous
With all these terrorist
attacks on our culture
Plus, in
NY we had to watch
the buildings crumble down
And
Lisa left, I is gone, so we humble now
To tell the truth, I still bug on how
Aaliyah left
But if you look when it's cold,
you can see her breath
One in a million, girl
And there ain't too many
flows that I can't do
But
Ness, he made me hear
the soul in the sample
Funerals,
the only time the hood come together
And when a kid pass away young,
he's young forever
Preserved in the image that the good
Lord made him
Generation
Y, they can't fade him, nope!
Don't worry about what
happened then
Just know that we can win
Keep your head up and smile within
You know we gon' make it
Doesn't matter if they don't believe
You know we will succeed
We will skydive the bad times
to live the good times
We gon' make it
I'm chillin' with this gang
banger from the west side
He asked me why am I alive
when all the rest died
Little hustler,
he had just lost his best friend
Somebody let the pistol
blow like the west wind
I told him death is like magic,
homies disappear
I mean we know they spirits
livin' but we miss him here
I told him player listen,
you were blessed to be here
Funny it took a puff of smoke
to make him see clear
See there, he been hustlin'
for three years
Spillin' out cheap beer
for deceased peers
Little chip, so I ask him, where's your mama,
man?
He said, well, she's with
Dr.
King in the promised land
I told him, do your thing,
but never lose your focus
My only hope is that you learn
about what hope is
And, oh yeah,
I know about what sellin' dope is
To tell the truth,
we do the same thing in show biz
Now keep livin'
Don't worry what we have today
Just know that we can make it
Keep your head up and
smile when they ask
You know we gon' make it
Doesn't matter if they don't believe
You know we will succeed
Got through the bad times
to live the good times
And we gon' make it
We know we get to get paid
And sometimes that's the right way
But if you learn from your mistakes
I used to hang on the block with the
Glock
From six o 'clock to six o 'clock
I used to tell all the haters,
forgive me not
Then the whole world found out I
MC
Hot
These old folks call us thugs, right
Big rims and froze ropes, we love life
So I have to say something
to today's youth
Whether you're sipping
Grey
Goose or pray
to
Jesus
Hang loose,
there's nothing that can stop
No crooked coppers,
it's time to get our propers
Now's the time
Broke, I done been there a million times
Cheese that don't melt,
little children cry
And that's why corrupt
thoughts fill they mind
Cats come out the projects
and still they shine
So whether
NBA or
NBA
All my niggas on the block, I simply say
Keep us moving
Don't worry about what
happened then
Just know that we can win
Keep your head up and smile one day
You know we gon' make it
Doesn't matter if they don't believe
You know we will succeed
Got through the bad times
To live the good times
And we gon' make it
