[00:33.40]I sometimes wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[00:36.70]In 1940, if I was enlisted to fight for the nation, or
[00:40.20]In 1960, if I had to fight for the rights of my people
[00:43.40]And lay down my life on the line so my grandkids could live a life that's peaceful
[00:46.70]Would I be on that? Would I be frontline? That's what I'm thinkin'
[00:50.20]If I was alive in the 1912 on the Titanic and it was sinkin'
[00:53.50]Who am I savin'? Am I fightin' women and children, or am I waitin'?
[00:56.90]I wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[01:00.50]Battle of Karbala, if they capturеd me for the sake of my fathеr
[01:03.80]Would I stand on my honour like Hussein did and then tell them to make me a martyr?
[01:07.30]Would I read, get smarter? Forgive my oppressor, stick to the creed?
[01:10.50]If I got locked inside like Nelson Mandela, but never was free
[01:14.00]I see a white man dance to rumba, ain't study Patrice Lumumba
[01:17.50]But get on the stage and sing like sungba, lajaja-ja-ja, sungba
[01:21.00]Fuck it, I wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[01:24.60]Would I fight for justice? Is it the reason my mum named me David?
[01:27.90]How can you be king, how can you be king, don't speak for the people?
[01:31.20]Them man try draw me out and compare like me and these niggas are equal
[01:34.70]I'm a Black man and this bozo sayin' my music socially conscious
[01:38.20]While the mandem troll the responses, this world's gone totally bonkers
[01:41.50]I sometimes wonder, "What would I do in the next generation?"
[01:44.80]But I'm knowin' the answer, 'cause what am I doin' in this generation?
[01:48.20]Afraid to speak cah I don't wanna risk it my occupation
[01:51.60]We got kids under occupation, my parents, they wouldn't get that
[01:55.30]The people that died for our freedom spoke on justice, couldn't accept that
[01:58.70]I talk 'bout the money in all my accounts, so why don't I speak on the West Bank?
[02:02.10]Remember growin' up prejudiced, the damage 7/7 did
[02:05.70]Extremists and terrorists, I was afraid of the Taliban
[02:09.10]Can't speak out on illegal settlers, now I'm afraid of a shadow-ban
[02:12.70]What would I do in the next generation?
[02:15.90]Critiquin' African leaders
[02:17.80]For sellin' our country's natural resources to the West for peanuts
[02:21.10]If they don't hear, they'll feel us
[02:23.10]I question what I'm alive for
[02:24.80]And can you say you're alive if you ain't got somethin' you're willin' to die for?
[02:28.10]What am I willin' to die for? What am I doin' in this generation?
[02:31.20]I get in my head sometimes, I feel like I'm in despair
[02:34.50]That feelin' of total powerlessness, I get that sinkin' feelin'
[02:38.20]That good ain't defeatin' evil
[02:40.30]I put their pain on vinyl, but feel like that shit ain't movin' the needle
[02:43.60]Retweetin' people, raisin' awareness, in all fairness
[02:46.90]Ain't gonna bring Chris back to his parents
[02:50.20]But there's no other option, it's a process
[02:52.50]Gotta stand and protest cah they want man silenced
[02:54.70]Cah they want man dead or they want man hopeless
[02:57.30]In the next generation, I spoke with my ancestors in the night and I showed them
[03:00.50]They spoke with tears in their eyes for the brothers they lost and said it was progress
[03:03.90]"How can it be progress?" I asked them, confused, disgusted
[03:06.80]They said, "David, just so you can fight this, you know how much sufferin' touched us?
[03:10.70]And you got a chance, we come from a time and a place where you couldn't get justice
[03:14.10]Had to find peace in the fact that we all answer to the one what we trust in
[03:17.60]And in our generation, we did do peaceful protests, just like you
[03:20.80]Burnt buildings, just like you, did boycotts, just like you
[03:24.30]Sat in a hostel powerless, did feel powerless just like you
[03:27.90]And I know that it may sound strange, but we made some change and we're just like you
[03:31.40]I know that you question your character, I know that you ...........
