| Forever and always we know who we are
|
| The blood in my veins came from afar
|
| What will you do when I’m walking?
|
| What if I’m done with the talking?
|
| What will you do?
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it
|
| And we do it with the class and style.
|
| We cut and we clear, we sign and we seal
|
| Not playing the game with the cost that you deal
|
| What would you do when we’re walking?
|
| What if we’re done with the talking?
|
| What would you do?
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it
|
| And we do it with the class and style.
|
| We’re real queens and kings
|
| We are why the caged birds sings
|
| Things don’t happen to us we happen to things
|
| Happening, happening — we are happening
|
| Dap-dap-dapper when we turn up the melanin
|
| Fufu pounded yam
|
| curves curves curves …
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And all the past they tried to kill us yet we made it
|
| We are the future in the present
|
| And all the past they tried to kill us yet we made it |
