[00:27.40]Yeah
[00:28.10]I sometimes wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[00:31.60]In 1940, if I was enlisted to fight for the nation, or
[00:34.90]In 1960, if I had to fight for the rights of my people
[00:38.20]And lay down my life on the line so my grandkids could live a life that's peaceful
[00:41.60]Would I be on that? Would I be frontline? That's what I'm thinkin'
[00:45.00]If I was alive in the 1912 on the Titanic and it was sinkin'
[00:48.30]Who am I savin'? Am I fightin' women and children, or am I waitin'?
[00:51.70]I wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[00:55.30]Battle of Karbala, if they capturеd me for the sake of my fathеr
[00:58.60]Would I stand on my honour like Hussein did it and tell them to make me a martyr?
[01:02.10]Would I really get smarter? Forgive my oppressor or stick to the creed?
[01:05.40]If I got locked inside like Nelson Mandela, but never was freed
[01:08.90]I see a white man dance to rumba, ain't study Patrice Lumumba
[01:12.30]But get on the stage and sing like sungba, lajaja-ja-ja, sungba
[01:15.70]Fuck it, I wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[01:19.20]Would I fight for justice? Is it the reason my mum named me David?
[01:22.50]How can you be king, how can you be king, don't speak for the people?
[01:26.00]Them man try draw me out and compare like me and these niggas are equal
[01:29.50]I'm a Black man and this bozo sayin' my music socially conscious
[01:33.00]While the mandem troll the responses, this world's gone totally bonkers
[01:36.30]I sometimes wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[01:39.80]But I'm knowin' the answer, 'cause what am I doin' in this generation?
[01:43.50]
[01:43.90]Afraid to speak cah I don't wanna risk it my occupation
[01:46.80]We got kids under occupation, my parents, they wouldn't get that
[01:50.10]The people that died for our freedom spoke on justice, couldn't accept that
[01:53.60]I talk 'bout the money in all my accounts, so why don't I speak on the West Bank?
[01:57.00]Remember growin' up prejudiced, the damage 7/7 did
[02:00.60]Extremists and terrorists, I was afraid of the Taliban
[02:03.90]Can't speak out on illegal settlers, now I'm afraid of a shadow-ban
[02:07.60]
[02:09.10]What would I do in the next generation?
[02:10.90]Critiquin' African leaders
[02:12.40]For sellin' our country's natural resources to the West for peanuts
[02:15.90]If they don't hear, they'll feel us
[02:17.60]I question what I'm alive for
[02:19.20]And can you say you're alive if you ain't got somethin' you're willin' to die for?
[02:22.70]What am I willin' to die for? What am I doin' in this generation?
[02:26.10]I get in my head sometimes, I feel like I'm in despair
[02:29.70]That feelin' of total powerlessness, I get that sinkin' feelin'
[02:33.10]That good ain't defeatin' evil
[02:34.50]I put that pain on vinyl, but feel like that shit ain't movin' the needle
[02:38.00]Retweetin' people, raisin' awareness, in all fairness
[02:42.10]
[02:43.30]Ain't gonna bring Chris back to his parents
[02:45.10]But there's no other option, it's a process
[02:47.10]Gotta stand and protest cah they want man silenced
[02:49.50]Cah they want man dead or they want man hopeless
[02:51.70]In the next generation, I spoke with my ancestors in the night and I showed them
[02:55.30]They spoke with tears in their eyes for the brothers they lost and said it was progress
[02:58.70]"How can it be progress?" I asked him, confused, disgusted
[03:02.10]They said, "David, just so you can fight this, you know how much sufferin' touched us?
[03:05.60]And you got a chance, we come from a time and a place where you couldn't get justice
[03:08.90]Had to find peace in the fact that we all answer to the one what we trust in
[03:12.30]And in our generation, we did do peaceful protests, just like you
[03:15.80]Burnt buildings, just like you, did boycotts, just like you
[03:19.30]Sat in a hostel powerless, did feel powerless just like you
[03:22.70]And I know that it may sound strange, but we made some change and we're just like you
[03:26.20]I know that you question your charac...........
