O’hene Savant
Babyboomers (Dem Babies)
We them babies, said them babies, eheh
Chorus:
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Said we dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Verse 1:
This my latest, so outrageous
Jimmy Lee, howlin’ to the rhythm, let me play it
Savor it, ever since that vinyl turned our new Bible
This our revival, for the lost sheep, let me guide you
Guide you to the pavement, to the basement
Where this how we pray it, all our hands raised and
We worship with words that only our kind made perfect
Yes I said mean, that Jimmy boy’s a wordsmith
Chorus:
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Said we dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Verse 2:
This ain’t aimless
This ain’t any boy, this more like Miles Davis
What the hell y’all sayin’?
Thinkin’ that we playin’, sayin’
This is our movement
This is how music can move men to doin’
Somethin’ from nothin’, raised out of the ruin
Yes that generation ain’t waitin’ on Truman
Maybe just maybe, one day they’ll claim they
In the meantime we gotta keep movin’ them babies
Chorus:
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Said we dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Verse 3:
Feed them babies
Not with radio, soap opera, with greatness
Like Count Basie
Teach them the wisdom of the ages
We get from the sages
Wealth of our brain is not found in them wages
Found in them pages, revelations
Found in Revelations, patience of the nations
Hasten ’til the day that we can all say we made it
Until that day we keep raisin’ our babies
Chorus:
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
Said we dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
We dem babyboomers
We dem babies
Say dem babies
