00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:28.000
Yeah
00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:31.500
I sometimes wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:34.800
In 1940, if I was enlisted to
fight for the nation, or
00:00:34.900 --> 00:00:38.100
In 1960, if I had to fight for
the rights of my people
00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:41.500
And lay down my life on the line
so my grandkids could live
a life that's peaceful
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.900
Would I be on that? Would I be frontline?
That's what I'm thinkin'
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.200
If I was alive in the 1912 on the
Titanic and it was sinkin'
00:00:48.300 --> 00:00:51.600
Who am I savin'? Am I fightin' women
and children, or am I waitin'?
00:00:51.700 --> 00:00:55.200
I wonder, "What would I do
in the next generation?"
00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:58.500
Battle of Karbala, if they capturеd
me for the sake of my fathеr
00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:02.000
Would I stand on my honour like
Hussein did it and tell
them to make me a martyr?
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.300
Would I really get smarter? Forgive my
oppressor or stick to the creed?
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:08.800
If I got locked inside like Nelson
Mandela, but never was freed
00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.200
I see a white man dance to rumba,
ain't study Patrice Lumumba
00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:15.600
But get on the stage and sing like
sungba, lajaja-ja-ja, sungba
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:19.100
Fuck it, I wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.400
Would I fight for justice? Is it the
reason my mum named me David?
00:01:22.500 --> 00:01:25.900
How can you be king, how can you be
king, don't speak for the people?
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.400
Them man try draw me out and compare
like me and these niggas are equal
00:01:29.500 --> 00:01:32.900
I'm a Black man and this bozo sayin'
my music socially conscious
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.200
While the mandem troll the responses,
this world's gone totally bonkers
00:01:36.300 --> 00:01:39.700
I sometimes wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:43.500
But I'm knowin' the answer, 'cause what
am I doin' in this generation?
00:01:43.900 --> 00:01:46.700
Afraid to speak cah I don't wanna
risk it my occupation
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:50.000
We got kids under occupation, my
parents, they wouldn't get that
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:53.500
The people that died for our
freedom spoke on justice,
couldn't accept that
00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:56.900
I talk 'bout the money in all
my accounts, so why don't
I speak on the West Bank?
00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.500
Remember growin' up prejudiced,
the damage 7/7 did
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:03.800
Extremists and terrorists, I
was afraid of the Taliban
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:07.600
Can't speak out on illegal settlers,
now I'm afraid of a shadow-ban
00:02:09.100 --> 00:02:10.800
What would I do in the
next generation?
00:02:10.900 --> 00:02:12.300
Critiquin' African leaders
00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:15.800
For sellin' our country's natural resources
to the West for peanuts
00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:17.500
If they don't hear, they'll feel us
00:02:17.600 --> 00:02:19.100
I question what I'm alive for
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:22.600
And can you say you're alive
if you ain't got somethin' you're
willin' to die for?
00:02:22.700 --> 00:02:26.000
What am I willin' to die for? What
am I doin' in this generation?
00:02:26.100 --> 00:02:29.600
I get in my head sometimes,
I feel like I'm in despair
00:02:29.700 --> 00:02:33.000
That feelin' of total powerlessness,
I get that sinkin' feelin'
00:02:33.100 --> 00:02:34.400
That good ain't defeatin' evil
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.900
I put that pain on vinyl,
but feel like that shit ain't
movin' the needle
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:42.100
Retweetin' people, raisin' awareness,
in all fairness
00:02:43.300 --> 00:02:45.000
Ain't gonna bring Chris
back to his parents
00:02:45.100 --> 00:02:47.000
But there's no other option,
it's a process
00:02:47.100 --> 00:02:49.400
Gotta stand and protest cah
they want man silenced
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:51.600
Cah they want man dead or
they want man hopeless
00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:55.200
In the next generation, I spoke
with my ancestors in the
night and I showed them
00:02:55.300 --> 00:02:58.600
They spoke with tears in their
eyes for the brothers they lost
and said it was progress
00:02:58.700 --> 00:03:02.000
"How can it be progress?" I asked
him, confused, disgusted
00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:05.500
They said, "David, just so you
can fight this, you know how
much sufferin' touched us?
00:03:05.600 --> 00:03:08.800
And you got a chance, we come
from a time and a place where
you couldn't get justice
00:03:08.900 --> 00:03:12.200
Had to find peace in the fact
that we all answer to the
one what we trust in
00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.700
And in our generation, we did do peaceful
protests, just like you
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.200
Burnt buildings, just like you,
did boycotts, just like you
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:22.600
Sat in a hostel powerless, did
feel powerless just like you
00:03:22.700 --> 00:03:26.100
And I know that it may sound strange,
but we made some change
and we're just like you
00:03:26.200 --> 00:03:29.500
I know that you question your
character, I know that
you suffer in...........
