My generation will make a change
This generation will make a change
(Yes we will, yes we will)
My generation will make a change
(Do you hear me now)
This generation will make a change

Now mi love fi see the schoolas dem a graduate
A study hard and save the party for the holidays
Diplomatic with dem diploma and them bound fi great
Because dem nah pick up no matic and a perpetrate
And then I love the energies whe dem a generate
My generation it so special it will make a change
Because the elders sew the seed and it a germinate
So anytime dem see the progress dem a celebrate
Because we rising up despite of the economy
And then a we a star the show like the astronomy
And how we keep on breaking through is an anomaly
Because we keep remaining true without apology
The mission ha to carry through and finish properly
Say Gambia to Guadeloupe Paris to Napoli
Say Zambia to Honolulu back to Tripoli
And everybody want a future living happily

My generation will make a change
(We'll make a change, we'll make a change yeah)
This generation will make a change
(This generation yeah)
My generation will make a change
(Will make a change, will make a change)
This generation will make a change

Can you blame my generation, subjected gentrification
Depicting their frustrations over ill instrumentation
'Cause music is the way to convey to you what I'm facing
Placing my life in front of your eyes for your observation
Now if you can't relate then maybe you are too complacent
Athletes today are scared to make Muhammad Ali statements
Whats up with tomorrow?
Will you lead? Will you follow?
Improve your values
Education is real power
I reach em like Bono
So get rid of your self sorrow
Add some bravado
Get wealthy likes Wells Fargo
It's truth, that I am you
And I am proof
Surviving through
We do what we gotta do
Yo we could break the cycle let nobody lie to you
Then maybe put our sons and our daughters in private school
'Cause there's a mission we gotta finish before we leave
This generation is destined to do historic deeds

My generation will make a change
(Ooh ooh ooh)
This generation will make a change
(My generation, this generation yes)
My generation will make a change
(Will make a change, will make a change)
This generation will make a change
(This generation now)

If you weather that storm
Then that rain bring sun
Been a long time comin'
I know change gon' come
Man I gotta keep it movin' to the beat of my drum
Last night I set the future at the feet of my son
But they thinkin' that my generation gotta die young
If we all come together then they can't divide one
Don't worry bout it just be about it
Got a message from God heaven too crowded
But I say hey young world you've never looked betta'
And I heard change start with man in the mirror ugh
This generation
I'm a represent
A generation led by a black president
Now hows that for change
Who knew that can change
I don't even look at the flag the same hey, heh
So when you finish readin' revelations
Thank god for my generation

My generation will make a change yeah
This generation will make a change yeah
My generation will make a change
(For good for better)
This generation will make a change yeah

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
