Song Lyrics: “Next Generation”
“I’m sayin’, a lotta things change
fades and slang change, clothes and chains change
Back in the day bangin Slick Rick and Dana Dane
Airbrushed jacks, fat laces, name plates
Gold done come and gone, now the platinum chains hang
they deep with white tees, all rockin the same thang
Gazelles and finger-waves to dreads and stunna shades
went from G-Rap and Kane to Kanye and Lil Wayne
I was a shorty then, I couldn’t even stay up late
Still caught the bug when David Bowie sang of “fame”
Went from Reganomics, pro-black in ’88
to Dre and The Chronic, red and blue, the gang bang
Song Lyrics: The Spin Cycle
“The Spin Cycle” – from Electric Purgatory Part Two by Greenhouse
A dollar’s hard to earn
The drama’s hard to kill
Even if you got God you gotta guard your grill
Times is hard
With or without a job it’s ill
People standing outside like it’s a fire drill
Just a consequence of living in a modern world
Cash rules so people bow to the dollar bill
Might stab you in the back
holler at your girl
They rap about make-believe, package it, then call it real
Major labels crying foul
Saying nothing sells
