If you're listening to this
Then I'll make a wager
At one time in your life
You were wearing a pager
And when you made a call
There was no getting away from the wall
Well time it moves fast
Yeah that is the danger
The world it moves on
Makes you feel like a stranger
But I'm with you there
There's no need to feel bad at all
Millennials and boomers
You're so prone to anger
But between your 2 sides
There's a life that's a banger
The forgotten generation
But we can remember it all
I don't mean to flex
But yeah I rep Gen X
Bringing it loud and clear
A boom box at your ear
Yeah I rep Gen X
Yeah I rep Gen X
We started as analog
Then grew into digital
A foot in each era
A total original
Old school or new school
Just test us, we'll give it a try
Smiling in first grade
With our Trapper Keeper
Grew a little bit older
The challenge got steeper
But parents and teachers
Reminded us to stand tall
From eight tracks to iMacs
Seen some wild creation
But we value our roots
My Friends of latch key nation
The forgotten generation
But we can remember it all
I don't mean to flex
But yeah I rep Gen X
Bringing it loud and clear
A boom box at your ear
Yeah I rep Gen X,
I rep Gen X
Looking over the movies
On Blockbuster shelves
Hanging out at the mall
Taking care of ourselves
When it's time for a ride home
Just find a payphone and call
Be kind and rewind
Take a bite out of crime
Columbia record club
12 albums at one time
Just Do It and Got Milk
And this is your brain on drugs
The music of our memories
The sounds around the block
Prince Madonna and Tupac
Kurt and Eddie and grunge rock
The Forgotten Generation
But we can remember it all
I don't mean to flex
But yeah I rep Gen X
Bringing it loud and clear
A boom box at your ear
Yeah I rep Gen X
Yeah I rep Gen X
Our lives in a mix tape
We can still hear it
Whitney Janet and R.E.M.
And smells like teen spirit
The Forgotten Generation
But we can remember it all
So OK just one flex
Cuz I rep Gen X
With my stereo receiver
Gonna make you a believer
The forgotten generation
But we can remember it all
We can remember it all
We can remember it all
Yeah we will remember it all
