Lyrics
What did Mahalia mean
When she said
"Don't let the devil steal your beat, baby"?
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
What did she know about it, yeah?
What did she know? Mmm, well
What did she know about it, yeah?
What did Fela mean
When he said to the youth
"Play with the music, you will die, die, die"?
Mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm
What did he know about it, yeah?
What did he know? Oh-oh, yeah
What did he know about it, yeah?
Here we are
Lookin' at no shame through a twenty year frame
Here we are
And baby, it's done got real-er
Now we're here
On the charts with a bullet
With the aim to pull it off another year
Oh man, it's so sad to me
To see our lost generation
It's so, it's so
Oh man, it's so sad to me-e-e-e
To see our lost generation
Just dyin' to its own, to its own rhythm
Who's big enough now?
Some of us have birth to get paid to be hurt
Blessin' them curses that keep them hearses workin'
Like we don't even know
Some of us have lived to be
Over forty years old
Here we are
Lookin' at no shame through a twenty year frame
Here we are
Lookin' at this done got real-er
Now we're here
On the charts with a bullet
With the aim to pull it off another year
Oh man, it's so sad to me
To see our lost generation
It's so sad to me
To see our lost generation
Just dyin' to its own, to its own rhythm
Who's big enough now?
Who's big enough now?
Who's big enough now?
Who's big enough now?
Who's big enough now?
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
Can you see it?
As a lovin' parent, this scene is very familiar to me
I can clearly see this is a, a lost baby
That's all this is
As a lovin' parent, this scene is very familiar to me
I can clearly see this is a lost baby
Just needin' to be found and loved
You, ooh-ooh, are loved
