Kid! (Yo?)
Kid, I got 2 do this
I got the noise, I got 2 do this, man
Then pump the big noise, c'mon in the house
(Lay down your funky weapon)
Yeah y'all, here we go
Pumpin' the big noise in the 90's
This here rap's about the true confession
If ya listen close U 'bout 2 learn a lesson
U must know failure before success
Now this is the failure I must confess
I was hanging onto life trying deal with this
Playing the games, almost got dismissed
Cocaine was the thing that I took on
And nowhere was the place that I was goin'
CHORUS:
Lay down your funky weapon, come join us on the floor
Makin' love and music's the only things worth fighting 4
We are the New Power Generation - we wanna change the world
(Twin Cities in your house, Twin Cities in the house)
The only thing that's in our way is U, ooh
(Twin Cities in our house, Twin Cities in my house)
Your old fashioned music, your old ideas
(Twin Cities in the house, Twin Cities in the house)
We're sick and tired of U tellin' us what 2 do, ooh
(Twin Cities in the house, Twin Cities in the house)
I must tell the truth, I cannot lie
I was headed 4 the kill, steal, destroy, and die
Top 2 the bottom 2 bottom 2 top
Success is where I'm headed, there ain't no doubt
Success is something that we all want
But the truth is what we need 2 reach that point
I had 2 give this message the so-called truth
I hope there's somethin' in it that's there 4 U
CHORUS
Twin Cities in the house {x4)
We're sick and tired of U tellin' us what 2 do {looped}
Like I said before, I'ma tell U again
Success is something that's deep within
So remember the truth - U can't go wrong
The flesh is weak but the spirit is strong
CHORUS
CHORUS {without "Twin Cities" lines}
This here rap's about the true confession {x4}
New Power Generation
(Twin Cities in the house) {repeated}
(Oh-oh-oh) {x3} repeated}
We are the New Power Generation {repeated}
I must tell the truth {repeated}
{fade out}
