00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,600
I sometimes wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
2
00:00:36,700 --> 00:00:40,100
In 1940, if I was enlisted to
fight for the nation, or
3
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,300
In 1960, if I had to fight for
the rights of my people
4
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,600
And lay down my life on the line
so my grandkids could live
a life that's peaceful
5
00:00:46,700 --> 00:00:50,100
Would I be on that? Would I be frontline?
That's what I'm thinkin'
6
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,400
If I was alive in the 1912 on the
Titanic and it was sinkin'
7
00:00:53,500 --> 00:00:56,800
Who am I savin'? Am I fightin' women
and children, or am I waitin'?
8
00:00:56,900 --> 00:01:00,400
I wonder, "What would I do
in the next generation?"
9
00:01:00,500 --> 00:01:03,700
Battle of Karbala, if they capturеd
me for the sake of my fathеr
10
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,200
Would I stand on my honour like
Hussein did and then tell
them to make me a martyr?
11
00:01:07,300 --> 00:01:10,400
Would I read, get smarter? Forgive
my oppressor, stick to the creed?
12
00:01:10,500 --> 00:01:13,900
If I got locked inside like Nelson
Mandela, but never was free
13
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,400
I see a white man dance to rumba,
ain't study Patrice Lumumba
14
00:01:17,500 --> 00:01:20,900
But get on the stage and sing like
sungba, lajaja-ja-ja, sungba
15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,500
Fuck it, I wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
16
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Would I fight for justice? Is it the
reason my mum named me David?
17
00:01:27,900 --> 00:01:31,100
How can you be king, how can you be
king, don't speak for the people?
18
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,600
Them man try draw me out and compare
like me and these niggas are equal
19
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:38,100
I'm a Black man and this bozo sayin'
my music socially conscious
20
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,400
While the mandem troll the responses,
this world's gone totally bonkers
21
00:01:41,500 --> 00:01:44,700
I sometimes wonder, "What would
I do in the next generation?"
22
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,100
But I'm knowin' the answer, 'cause what
am I doin' in this generation?
23
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,500
Afraid to speak cah I don't wanna
risk it my occupation
24
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,200
We got kids under occupation, my
parents, they wouldn't get that
25
00:01:55,300 --> 00:01:58,600
The people that died for our
freedom spoke on justice,
couldn't accept that
26
00:01:58,700 --> 00:02:02,000
I talk 'bout the money in all
my accounts, so why don't
I speak on the West Bank?
27
00:02:02,100 --> 00:02:05,600
Remember growin' up prejudiced,
the damage 7/7 did
28
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:09,000
Extremists and terrorists, I
was afraid of the Taliban
29
00:02:09,100 --> 00:02:12,600
Can't speak out on illegal settlers,
now I'm afraid of a shadow-ban
30
00:02:12,700 --> 00:02:15,800
What would I do in the
next generation?
31
00:02:15,900 --> 00:02:17,700
Critiquin' African leaders
32
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:21,000
For sellin' our country's natural resources
to the West for peanuts
33
00:02:21,100 --> 00:02:23,000
If they don't hear, they'll feel us
34
00:02:23,100 --> 00:02:24,700
I question what I'm alive for
35
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,000
And can you say you're alive
if you ain't got somethin' you're
willin' to die for?
36
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,100
What am I willin' to die for? What
am I doin' in this generation?
37
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,400
I get in my head sometimes,
I feel like I'm in despair
38
00:02:34,500 --> 00:02:38,100
That feelin' of total powerlessness,
I get that sinkin' feelin'
39
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,200
That good ain't defeatin' evil
40
00:02:40,300 --> 00:02:43,500
I put their pain on vinyl,
but feel like that shit
ain't movin' the needle
41
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,800
Retweetin' people, raisin' awareness,
in all fairness
42
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,100
Ain't gonna bring Chris
back to his parents
43
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,400
But there's no other option,
it's a process
44
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:54,600
Gotta stand and protest cah
they want man silenced
45
00:02:54,700 --> 00:02:57,200
Cah they want man dead or
they want man hopeless
46
00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:00,400
In the next generation, I spoke
with my ancestors in the
night and I showed them
47
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,800
They spoke with tears in their
eyes for the brothers they lost
and said it was progress
48
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:06,700
"How can it be progress?" I asked
them, confused, disgusted
49
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,600
They said, "David, just so you
can fight this, you know how
much sufferin' touched us?
50
00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:14,000
And you got a chance, we come
from a time and a place where
you couldn't get justice
51
00:03:14,100 --> 00:03:17,500
Had to find peace in the fact
that we all answer to the
one what we trust in
52
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,700
And in our generation, we did do peaceful
protests, just like you
53
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200
Burnt buildings, just like you,
did boycotts, just like you
54
00:03:24,300 --> 00:03:27,800
Sat in a hostel powerless, did
feel powerless just like you
55
00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:31,300
And I know that it may sound strange,
but we made some change
and we're just like you
56
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,700
I know that you question your
character, I know that
you suffer in silence
