Generation Y Illy

[Intro:]
Yeah, my Generation Y
It's just what we do!

[Verse 1:]
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 wide like it's hard to see
The separation of uzi shells and artistry
Guess it's the heart in me, flowing like an artery
The can't-figure-for-the-life-of-me why our army be
Overseas fighting, Bin Laden been hiding
Oil fields guarded, why the fuck soldiers been dying?
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 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 O.D.B
When we gonna realise hope is free?
You can call this a love song, you can call it poetry.. whatever

[Hook:]
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 trying to 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
