Lyrics

Yeah, my generation, why? It's just what we do Yeah, now where were you when the towers fell? When folk washed away under broke levees and tsunami swells? And it ain't hard to tell, so why act like it's hard to see? A separation of Uzi shells and artistry Guess it's the heart in me, flowing like an artery That can't figure for the life of me why our army be Overseas fightin', Bin Laden been hidin' Oil fields guarded, why the fuck soldiers been dyin'? Now I'm the first to salute the troops, send 'em prayers And the first to give a middle finger to the fucks who sent 'em there And, brother, why would I ever care? How'd tit-for-tat get us anywhere? Come on, what's the method there? How's that gon' seek peace? When did hip-hop die? Probably the same night as ODB When we gonna realise hope is free? You can call this a love song, you can call it poetry Whatever So we say what we say like it's all or none 'Cause we're the ones there when the problems come So we're the ones tryna change the world My generation asks why We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky Yeah, what happened to the power of one man's voice? When boys my age die from one man's choice Happy sippin' brews in the sun with the boys All I need is a push-bike, fuck a Rolls-Royce How long we gonna let cash rule in the habit of Not appreciating what the planet's got? I stopped, switched off the idiot box, fuck a channel swap Why not? It's real life when the camera's off I'm like Martin Luther King with a dream And it sure as shit don't involve Gretel Killeen Make use of my God-given right to speak No threat of bombs droppin's gonna silence me Ain't it worth it if we die free? When did hip-hop die? Probably the same night as B.I.G This from the heart, piece by piece You wanna call this a love song? Well, it's sweet by me Whatever, man So we say what we say like it's all or none 'Cause we're the ones there when the problems come So we're the ones tryna change the world My generation asks why We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky And mad props to the trailblazers No path guide to show the way they made, we don't ask why We just laugh how the industry was so damn blind To hip-hop from our backyard No gang signs and no cocked nines None of that, nah, just hot rhymes from our own kind Young Aussie minds, why some push poison Like the love's there for exploitin'? How long can the culture avoid 'em? Why bother? We good, brother, they took cover They mainstream, even our big names hooked up underground I'm asked how I grind till I'm beat Like why would I stay? Bro, why would I leave? It's one life, why make do with less? They said hip-hop died, but that's a lie in the A-U-S We going strong from strength to strength Aussie youth of today backed us, so we represent for them My dudes, man So we say what we say like it's all or none 'Cause we're the ones there when the problems come So we're the ones tryna change the world My generation asks why We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky We fight (We fight), we fight (We fight) We fight (We fight) with a fist to the sky "Been a long time comin'" "But we're here now" "Been a long time comin'" "But we're here now" "Nothing can stand in the way of the power Of millions of voices calling for change"
