We Are the Youth
We are the youth
Now if it's war they want
Well then it's war they'll get
So I'll make sure this is something
That they won't forget
And I won't regret a word
It's bound to get absurd
But a message to the youth
This is truth like we've never heard
Shit we can't get from that TV screen
A bunch of motherfuckers
Telling us how big to dream
But believe, baby girl
Believe in you
Believe from me
We can do whatever we wanna do
I know you heard all that cliché shit
When you would stare up at the stars
And you'd reach 'em quick
And get lost in a cause
That you always really loved
But somewhere along the lines
No, it wasn't enough
Now you riddled with trust issues
And never really loved
Been battered and bruised
And you close to giving up
But hold on, be strong, baby girl
'Cause I promise it'll all pay off, baby girl
This right here's for the kids, so let 'em live
The generation doing everything they never did
We are the youth, we are the power
Give us the truth and the world is ours
So hands up
Baby, reach for the stars
Don't ever be afraid, you can be who you are
'Cause you are the truth (you are the truth)
You are the power (and the power)
We are the youth (we are the youth)
We are the youth (we are the youth)
Now if I stop today
And walk away
Then remember me a quitter
With a lot to say
And if I cop a Range
Without some change in the world
I'm another dumb nigga
With a big name
But I need that Range Rov
Some all matte black
Let me hide that pain yo
Them windows tinted
Can't see a nigga in it
And if I happen to get caught slippin'?
So be it 'cause
I always figured I'd be bigger than that
I always figured I'd be tryna save a life with rap
Ask 'em that
The last time they did it for the kids
The lil' nigga in the back of his mama's whip
Noddin' to some shit
He could feel in his soul
Not a sold out nigga
Whose album didn't go gold
And the truth's gettin' told
Go 'head little man
Soak this in
Until we meet again
Tell 'em that
This right here's for the kids, so let 'em live
The generation doing everything they never did
We are the youth, we are the power
Give us the truth and the world is ours
So hands up
Baby, reach for the stars
Don't ever be afraid, you can be who you are
'Cause you are the truth (you are the truth)
You are the power (and the power)
We are the youth (we are the youth)
We are the youth (we are the youth)
I said
This right here's for the kids, so let 'em live
The generation doing everything they never did
We are the youth, we are the power
Give us the truth and the world is ours
So hands up
Baby, reach for the stars
Don't ever be afraid, you can be who you are
