I am a member of a generation looked down upon by our for fathers and politicians. they say we are the dumbest yet look to us for hope when they want us to fight their wars
say we'll never amount to nothing but now it is time to even the score
the twenties brought the cigarettes
and the thirties ushered in the poverty state of mind the forties well they tried to work but because of credit found themselves behind the fifties well those were the baby bombers having babies before their time sixties well they fought for equality seems to be the only century to have something good on their mind
the seventies introduce the weed,mushrooms,drinks, parties and other drugs
the eighties brought along the crack and in the nineties we were getting popped with slugs
so when I'm dead and gone i don't want my generation to have a bad wrap i want the whole world to know I'm part of the generation where our parents didn't sit us on their lap they had work and were going back to school some had single parent households and we would have done better if we could
we didn't learn from the schools we attend but the friends who are more mature and our older siblings and the history of our country back in the day yeah our generation may use drugs,smoke, drink, have sex at a young age but every generation before ushered it in now they try to use it against use to make us feel ashamed
I'm proud of the era i grew up in
I'm part of the decade where hip hop makes you feel the spirit within where we have fun and cruse until the sun wants to rise run the streets still we make it to work on time. couldn't be happier than any one else in the world because unlike generations before it's OK a grow up a poor, rich, even middle class minority girl.
