Future
(专辑: The Grind Date - 2004)
[1:24 long intro saying "we are the
future" repeatedly] [Intro: sampled vocals] 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 [Pos] 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 [sampled vocals] Or... or... they will be lost (the future) Or... or... they will be lost (the future) [Dave] 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 [sampled vocals] 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
