This Generation

Yes, rise up my youths
Listen now while the lions' sound tells you the truths
Can't roll a spliff on no mp3
Sound is much better on 33
Even nicer is the twelve-inch sound
The top is heavy and the bottoms' round
This generation (this generation is going back to roots)
This generation (this generation won't march in no army boots)
This generation (this generation gonna use the music to fight)
This situation (makes the sound system sound so nice)
Rule it!
It's a new inspiration, time to make a change
Time to get your education can't take the truth away
Unity, love, let me tell you what i say
They try to keep us down, but the youth is here to stay
Can't roll a spliff on no mp3
Sound is much better on thirty-three
Even nicer is the twelve-inch sound
The top is heavy and the bottoms round
This generation (this generation uses herb over liquor)
This generation (this generation grows its collie thicker)
This generation (like the doers not the talkers)
A roots' combination (by lovers for the rockers)
Lions sound!
