21st century

The 21st century is the current century of the Anno Domini era or the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 2100. It is the first century of the 3rd millennium. It is distinct from the century known as the 2000s, which began on January 1, 2000 and will end on December 31, 2099.

Transitions and changes

The first years of the 21st century have thus far been marked by the rise of a global economy and Third World consumerism, mistrust in government, deepening global concern over terrorism and an increase in the power of private enterprise. The longterm effects of increased globalization are not known, but there are many who are concerned about its implications. The Arab Spring of the early 2010s led to mixed outcomes in the Arab world. The Digital Revolution which began around the 1980s also continues into the present. The Millennials (born c. 1981-2000) having been born before the turn of the century give way to the rise of Generation Y & Generation Z in Western countries.

    21st Century

    by: Remedy

    [Intro: Solomon Childs]
    Yeah, word...
    Godfather shit... you know?
    Take your mind off it (yeah, what?)
    [Solomon Childs]
    My projects, this the funeral homes and Laundromats
    Hall of fame, for niggas who hit off gats
    Late comer, ain't turned ghetto since fourteen
    In the hood it's only money that the drop bring
    Solomon King, and when the toast ring
    You know I know, you yellow back niggas'll run
    Talkin' shit, is like walkin' wet on the third rail
    My fault for hurtin' ya'll sales
    About to party like I'm Bobby Rail
    Cop grams off a Dominican in the well
    Fifth borough, marquise, livin' New York soap operas
    I see more drug dealers than doctors
    Neglect, hold a ratchet, but to Allah I'm still innocent
    I keep correspondin', wit thugs who needs witnesses
    Uncle Wise, 21st century
    [Chorus x2: Solomon Childs]
    Ghetto celebrities, penitentiary bars
    Jealousy, guns, jigga spot number runs
    Criminals and deceased stars
    Look around you, son, who wouldn't get high
    [Remedy]
    We make music, til the wee hours of morn'
    These grays in my beard grow as time goes on
    Nothin' like the feeling, when you're hearin' our song
    The best things in life just don't last long
    Can't believe it, even little Barbara's gone
    Wifey cries everyday, but tries to be strong
    We all do things we no is dead wrong
    Can't get it where you fit in, if you don't belong
    Wait for no man, make moves for delf
    You can't understand, I write songs for self
    Seen misery and company, along with wealth
    The real jewel is happiness and good health
    Know cats that had money and now they're dead broke
    Straight up clean kids, who now smoke coke
    Smokin' up cigarettes and died of a stroke
    What used to be respected, now is a joke
    [Chorus]
    [Remedy]
    21st century, my suggestion to you is to Remedy
    If you don't know your enemy, then you're already dead
    Rest in peace, God bless, the realest shit said (life)
    [Solomon Childs]
    Last intermission, Body Brighton thrill-ogy
    Stressed out momma, Stephanie Mills
    Project black house, sell crack to pay bills
    New York crime scene, narcotic crime kings
    Chicks with the Chinese doobies, gold diggers wit the tight cooties
    Searchin' up the candy wit the big booties
    Draw part headed, hard headed growin' up
    And hard head will make a soft ass
    Rock pool old sneakers to class
    Introductions, the building of a plateau
    Playin' dominoes wit the beer hoes
    I thought Pink and B.D., be here forever
    I thought Sandy Brock would play basketball forever
    I thought Storm Fields would always give the weather
    Momma said "never say never"
    [Chorus x2]
    [Outro: Solomon Childs]
    Life, and that's the way it is
    Solemnly swear, to always tell the truth
    Tell you what I see...
    That's what I'm here fore, autobiography
    Life... Solomon marked for life, Solomon, Solomon
    Solomon marked for life, Solomon, Solomon
