My momma would hear bombs drop
Two blocks away from her rooftop
Waiting for the day to change
She didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took her voice away
Muh****as
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation
No time for graduation
She'd be livin' in frustration
At night she'd go to sleep (Momma)
They'd be lurkin' in the streets
Won't let them achieve
Separatin' our beliefs
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation
We the new generation
Daddy would hear gunshots
Two blocks away from his rooftop
Waitin' for the day to change
He didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took his voice away
Muh****as
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation
He used to dream of creations
Flag it up for his dedication (Flag it up, flag it up)
Nowadays, I hear bombs drop (drop)
I'm surrounded by gunshots (shots)
Now we sit in this empty space
Which way are we willin' to leave our trace
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation
We the new generation
My people saw their world stop
Two blocks away from their rooftop
Waiting for the days to change
We don't get a lot to say
They tryna take our voice away
My momma would hear bombs drop
Two blocks away from her rooftop
She didn't get a lot to say
Oh, they took her voice away
Muh****as
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation (We be runnin' this nation)
No time for graduation
She'd be livin' in frustration (She'd be livin' in frustration)
At night she'd go to sleep (Momma)
They'd be lurkin' in the streets
Won't let them achieve
Separatin' our beliefs
We the new generation
We be runnin' this nation
We the new generation
Muh****as
