My Generation Will Make A Change

May 24, 2010 Front Page, Music, Solutions 1 Comment

I want you to check out this song:  My Generation off the new Nas and Damien Marley CD, Distant Relatives. I’ve been listening to this non stop. This song inspires me to keep loving, inspiring, organizing, and evolving because in my heart I believe that we as a Generation are living in historical times. But there’s too much theory, not enough practice.

The King of Pop tried to tell us that self interest lies only with the wealthy and the elite. Before Distant Relatives dropped on Tuesday, his song “They Don’t Care About Us” stayed on repeat (shout out to Christina). Are our leaders and elected officials of the past ready to pass the baton and share the wealth of knowledge, or must we learn our own lessons? Will the athletes of my generation have the courage of Ali, or the cowardess of Jordan? Will the entertainers of my generation heal the world or try and FU$% every girl in it?

I believe in you, I love you unconditionally, even when I am weary I will never lose faith in you. We don’t need the masses, only the dedicated! So those who believe that this generation is the generation that we have always been waiting for: Its time to stand up, speak out, and let your voices be heard…Or 4ever hold your peace!

[Chorus - Joss Stone & Choir]
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(Yes we will)
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(Do You hear me now)
My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(we bout to make a change)
My Generation – Distant Relatives
