The Future |
| We are singing, you this message |
| Through our music, reaching for a, brave and brighter |
| new tomorrow, is the future |
| We must make it, safe and happy, for the children |
| Or… or… they will be lost |
| Or… or… they will be lost |
| Aiyyo I jump back, put the aim on my shot |
| It’s mandatory, handle glory over with the rock |
| I’m not a rough guy but a tough guy to beat over drums |
| No son to this, I’m a rhyme bastard |
| Some mastered the art of cash, but not the part that lasts |
| and disappear after doin two albums |
| We’re not your normal team and we still do ours to fit |
| hope inside this, don’t define it’s |
| quits for those who oppose the new |
| Playin they’ve outgrown rap like a size 5 shoe |
| Oh they all now, alternative touch |
| were surprised, no demise for us We on the rise to bust big, how you fig’we couldn’t |
| Never run out of verbs for you to sip, I told you we wouldn’t |
| I never popped Crist’or popped fists, girl named Chrissie |
| was the first, which made it even worse not to miss me Or… or… they will be lost (the future) |
| Or… or… they will be lost (the future) |
| So do you understand it now? |
| Well try standin over |
| seven box sets, reppin sixteen years |
| This rap career ain’t work, it’s the life in-between |
| bedtime 'til the next said time and date |
| Know the name and salute them dudes |
| Put the nutrient in rap when they cook them foods |
| Gotta be like eighteen million heads served |
| Shit, imagine if there wasn’t no us huh? |
| So I’d like to take the time to shout out the JB’s |
| Next on my list is A Tribe Called Quest |
| Latifah my Queen, Monie Love, Dres and Mr. Lawnge |
| Chi-Ali, on your head God bless |
| Never ring chasin, the permanent tat |
| in this rap shit, y’all are just temporary lick-ons |
| Fadin in the days to come |
| While the name De La and the legacy built lives on We are singing (sing it out now) |
| you this message (sendin you a message y’all) |
| Through our music (through the music) |
| reaching for a, brave and brighter new tomorrow |
| (another day y’all) is the future (it's the future) |
| (it's the future) We must make it (we gotta make it) |
| safe and happy, for the children (for the children) |
| You little brats |
