III Generation Degenerate Lyrics

Hail king Selassie

Jah Rastafari

Boom bye bye

Knotty dread from the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate

Boom bye bye

Knotty dread from the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate

Po up that forty OE as I slide

Finna ride as I'm blowing my tree

They don't want me make it out of the streets

Ain't no job for a nucca like me

Tell me how my family pose to eat

For my ancestors it was illegal to read

The devil been stealing our dreams

Prohibition had us off of the drank

Fuck your mind up till you can't even think

Steal your freedom faster than you could blink

Stole my people out the jungles we lived

Then dropped us off in the land of ignit

Bamboozled had us thinking we ignit

Willie lynching all the folk from the village

White supremacists is scared of my melanin

They be praying I become a degenerate

Fuck you talking bout you ain't no reverend

Generations moving mountains like Everest

Benevolent living life with a deep reverence

I ain't asking masse for no severance

Plethora of knowledge where my melon is

Melanated skin glowing knotty dreads on my forehead

Black beautiful and gorgeous you betta go head which your gold skin

Good fortune you anointed bathe me off in that ointment

Culture vultures exploiting my darkness need atonement

Foresee it like I'm clairvoyant

Clairvoyance

Boom bye bye

Knotty dread from the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate

Boom bye bye

Knotty dread from the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate

Black angel black angel ascend to the sky

Your oppressor playing God tryna condemn you and I

I transcend I get lit for the darkest of nights

Yahweh compelled me to repent

And then rise we gon rise we gon fight for our lives

The africans built the first ships now we feeling to turn the tide

Praise the God of the sun and the moon and the sky's

Canaanite been the tribe she sublime she divine

A warrior blazing through your corridor determined

Staff in my hand for the serpents fire fi burn so dem burning

Hear my sermon just like music Eric Sermon

I be serving burdens for the demons behind the curtains you vermin's

I'm a descendant of the Lord of Lords

If you living by the sword you gon die by that sword

Nappy headed allegiance hair wool like Jesus

Boom bye bye Knotty dread

From the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate

Boom bye bye

Knotty dread

From the heavens sky

They pray I decline

Hold a medz and hold your head high

They say we uncivilized

Third generation degenerate

Degenerate
