[Chorus] Cuz in the downtown we're screaming, Hola youth, And in the uptown we're screaming, Hallelujah, In the downtown, we're raising up our troops Cuz in the uptown, We be the soldiers of the youth [Verse 1] Motown spin that record around/ Berry Gordy had the whole world/ Buzzing off that Motown sound/ Ray Charles may have been blind/ But was on his grind/ Telling eveybody how he had/ Georgia on his mind/ MLK Jr. had a dream/ Way deeper than "Inception"/ Non violence gave us a new/ Definitioin of a weapon/ Bob Dylan's poetry/ Had us 'Blowing in the Wind'/ Like a 'Like a Rolling Stone' man/ Like a 'Rolling Stone'/ Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers/ Had all the angels singing/ And in the still of the night/ 'A Change Go'n Come'/ Kept ringing This generation has a voice/ Hallelujah/ The youth of the nations/ God wants to speak through ya [Chorus Repeat] [Verse 2] Billy Graham taught the world/ About the "Value of the Soul"/ He was a messenger from God/ Preaching the Gospel/ And Jackie Robinson Played a huge role/ In the Civil Rights Movement/ Bringing us all home/ 'Come Fly with Me'/ Frank Sinatra belted out/ 'I've Got the World on a String'/ You know what I'm talking about/ 'Unforgettable' Nat King Cole/ Billy Holiday, Babe Ruth, and the Beatles/ James Dean, Paul Newman, And John Wayne/ Passed the baton/ Cuz the future is our day/ This generation has a voice/ Hallelujah/ The youth of the nations/ God wants to speak through ya [Bridge] This generation has a/ Chance to make a change/ This generaion is the next/ To rock the stage/ This generation has a/ Chance to make a change/ This generations/ Making history today [Chorus Repeat]
