New Generation Lyrics

Mama always said it'd come back

Hundredfold good or bad, that's a fact

But mama wasn't there for me

Let me run wild, let me run free

Skip school, stayed watching TV

No rules, no one, just me being me

But now it's time, time to break the chain

The struggle wasn't real, but I'm here through the pain

It's a new generation

The pattern wasn't fun

But I'm the chosen one

Break it down, time to move on

This is my fight, this is my song

I found where I belong

Moving through struggles and strife

Every day they tried to take my life

Don't do this, can't do that

Lose a little weight, girl, your face so pretty but you're fat

Words cut deep but I kept strong

Knew in my heart I'd prove them wrong

Didn't listen to what they had to say

Kept pushing forward, paved my own way

It's a new generation

The pattern wasn't fun

But I'm the chosen one

Break it down, time to move on

Never listened to anyone

Now I'm grown, my baby is too

And what mama said simply wasn't true

I have the best daughter a hundredfold

She's beautiful, smart, 24 karat gold

She's accomplished more than I could dream

Because she's got me, we're a winning team

It wasn't easy but we made it through

Every sacrifice was worth it for you

It's a new generation

The pattern wasn't fun

But I'm the chosen one

Break it down, time to move on

God gave me a daughter, the best one

I never listened, yeah, it's true

What mama said just wasn't my view

What made the difference, I don't know

But I broke the pattern and I broke the mold

Devoted to my daughter, let opportunities falter

Wouldn't change a thing except a better father

Still we're strong, we'll rise above

This bond we share is endless love

It's a new generation

The pattern wasn't fun

But I'm the chosen one

Break it down, time to move on

This is my story, my fight's not done

Don't listen to doubt, not one critic

They don't know you, they don't know you're with it

God's protection surrounds his chosen ones

With his saving grace our journey's just begun

It's a new generation

The pattern's undone

Because I'm here now, the chosen one

Break it down, time to move on

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong

With a new light, shining strong
