I bet you like it rough, huh?

loud.
banging.
hard.
pumping.

whatever slaps.
whatever makes the ass move.
whoever screams the nastiest
obscenities at you.

Yes, you bitch
talking that "i know he ain't talking to me"
but yes you do
cuz you do
exactly as i tell you to...

and somehow
you don't feel small
when i call you lil' mama
or 'shawty'
or when I tell you to get low
get lower
I said bitch bend over
for me.

of course.
so coarse.
This is the generation hip-hop.
And i KNOW you like it rough.


you seen dame dash pouring champagne
on some chick
and then r. kelly piss out the same color on another

this hip-hop
and ain't nothing wrong
with a lil' bumping
and grinding.
As long as the condom on
no wonder it ain't as raw.

i mean
generation hip-hop
we must love it.

dressing up
to go clubbing
every weekend
looking for someone
who could freak them
like the music cumming
from the speakers.

you know it's hard
pumping
loud
banging
fast
but ultimate-ly
nothing that last.

this is the lasting legacy
of generation hip-hop.

where calling you baby
sounds bitch-like
and calling you bitch
sounds like baby

no more baby making music
but still we making babies to it
wayne call baby dad
and your baby dad think he wayne
you think he gonna act like a father
he was just stunting like a daddy.
He told you to call him big poppa
Not no father

this is the cult-ure
of one night stands
promoted by
one hit wonders
hit once
and never wonder
what she look like
who she be
whats the
number
what's the number?
let me think
let me think
Oh yeah that's right
it's the loneliest one you will ever sing
he tryin to get to you AND that booty
like it's two different things.

cuz who needs a cute face
I mean, cum on
You know
just a fat ass
for comfort
to provide comfort
against the roughness
the shaking
the pain
the degradation
that for some reason
feels so good
it feels so exhilarating.

Cuz you know
Chris brown still making hits
I mean, he still making slaps
I mean, you know, that shit is making it bump
I mean, you know, It's just something bout that
Beat
It's something bout that beat
It's something about that beat, you know

Generation hip-hop
what's
gotten into these
kids
this jungle music
jungle fever
the beast screams
for something harder
something faster
something rougher
something nastier
nothing deeper.


it must be the way the music hits ya...
