masta artisan - now (spontaneous generation) lyrics

[verse 1]
i am part of the spontaneous generation/
which has a fascination for instant gratification/
before i even get the check/
to get what i want, i’ll spend money that i don’t even have yet/
because i want it now! as quick as possible, i want life to smother me/
with undeserved luxuries/
i got a few advances and about five loans/
to pay for the stuff i want… i mean, what i need in my home/
i need it decked out with exotic plants ivory floors/
to make it look like i could never be poor/
and getting these pricy, new kicks help me feel alive/
along with the plasma t.v., x box, laptop, you know, the stuff i need to survive/
of course, most of my furnishments are not legally mine/
but as long as i’m getting money, it’ll be fine/
sure, my situation is dangerously volatile/
but i at least i got what i want as soon as possible/

and i think i speak for my generation when i say…..

[chorus]
what do we need? (whatever we want!)
when do we need it? (now!)

[verse 2]
i must admit, modern technology is crazy and maybe/
made me a little lazy, but hey, we/
must remember why progress is a thing that needs to be/
so that new inventions let us live our lives more easily/
really, who want to work over the stove like a slave/
when the same job is done with a microwave/
and in less time, yes, i’m sure these meals are nutrition-free/
but i eat to be full, not to be healthy/
and so now, i may have gained a pound or two… or 50/
but there’s an ad that says i can get rid of it swiftly/
with a product that helps you lose weight while still eating whatever/
you treasure, and getting results without putting forth any effort/
is the american dream, and i’m defenseless/
when they advertise things that help you byp-ss consequences/
and don’t bring up that “long term effects” cr-p again, pipe down/
cuz i’m only interested in what’s happenin right now/ you understand?

and i think i speak for my generation when i say…..

[chorus]

[verse 3]
in these days, people might be saying that the technology we’re given/
has devalued the quality of living/
but i disagree, because for centuries/
man has dreamed for a day like this to be/
were we can communicate with people in an instant all across the land/
and food is m-ss produced to be consumed at our command/
i’m tired of people talking like we were living in the good ol days/
and then computers came and put it all to waste/
well, maybe technology has made us more greedy/
but at least we still need the basic things, you know, like t.v./
okay, a culture built on short attention spans is hard to work with/
but no society’s perfect/
and we’re living in what humanity has always strived for/
and it’s your problem if you think it’s an eye sore/
besides, we still have goals and dreams we believe in/
we just want them now, but without working too hard to achieve them/

and i think i speak for everyone when i say…

[chorus]
