"Our Generation"

[Verse 1 - Lecrae:]
They say my generation so rogue, they callin' us loco
They say we have no goals, I tell 'em we focused
My generation so cold you could say we frozen
1st Peter 2:9 no vote homie we chosen
We not only voted, we devoted to change
And we not only quoted, we prob'ly wrote what they sayin'
I mean I know you see us on the block, but we know the God who owns the block
When you see us roam the block it's true that we condone the Rock
I'm not sure I can sell the one that took the nails
The one that will prevail over death and tore the veils
My generation is known for being complacent
But don't change the station 'cause we might change the nation
I promise you haven't seen us when we get in rare form
When the Spirit use the Scriptures and it gets to conform
It's nothin' we ain't bluffin' catch us runnin' through the door
Hollering "Jesus Christ is Lord"...

[Verse 2 - Michelle Bonilla:]
Promise that you'll never turn your back on me
And I promise that I'll never turn away from you
'Cause if I love the Lord then I should love my brother
We are one in him and we all need each other
Together we could turn this whole world around

[Chorus - Michele Bonilla:]
We are the hope of the promise that tomorrow brings
We are the future 'cause this is our generation
So show 'em our turn, so let freedom ring
We are the future 'cause this is our generation
We gon' tell the world about Jesus' name 'cause this is our generation
Make yourself go with the flow 'cause we ain't goin' nowhere
'Cause this is our generation

[Verse 3 - Michelle Bonilla:]
Will you speak the words to encourage my heart?
This negativity will only serve to tear us apart
Something's gotta change on the inside before we can see change on the outside
'Cause we know that only God can change our heart
And it starts with us, we are...

[Hook - Michelle Bonilla:]
If we can come together we can change the world
Let's get together, can we all?

[Verse 4 - Flame:]
Lookin' at my generation, lookin' at the times we in
Oh yeah it's wack, you can tell these cats they livin' and dyin' in sin
We need to get back to the Bible, tear down our American idols
Get back to preachin' the gospel, livin' the gospel, then a revival
Perhaps we'll hit the nation just like the Great Awakening
Before the time is up 'cause it's windin' up for the consummation
Jesus is comin' back for the second time
Not all humble when a major but it's wreckin' time
We gotta man up, stand up and then clan up
Hands up like and what, just plan to preachin' his plan bruh
Command of Jesus to stand up, in Alhambra, in Atlanta
In Savannah, in Montana, we to raisin' a banner up
Men he called a Generation X, and they call it Generation Next
But we know we're Generation Now, here to tell a generation how
To reconcile with a holy God, man has got to sell totally all
But if you down say it loud... this is our generation
