Charles Brown
(专辑: The Beautiful & Damned - 2017)
[Jay Ant (G-Eazy):] I'm tryna know what the
future holds, hey But it ain't for you to know I
treat my self like the
usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know My vision clear, never losing hope But it ain't for you to know (It ain't for you to know) I
tell myself like usual (That's it) But it ain't for you to know (Yeah) [G-Eazy:] Sometimes I
gotta be dolo alone, just walking 'round Yeah, young Gerald, young Charlie Brown Some shit is better to keep to yourself than say aloud Some shit you see and they don't, so I
simply jot it down It was written, had the
vision as a
youth that I
would make it here one day A
flight to the
top, cop a
one-way But looking out the
window on the
subway, 16 slapping Mac Dre Somehow I
always knew it'd be that way I
felt this so clear it's like a
rode a
time machine and I
saw it I
paint the
picture and draw it, I
fold it up in my wallet Keep it with me everywhere I
go just as a
reminder Told myself every time I
get discouraged or tired I
got greatness inside of me, I
go against the
greats 'til they tired of me I've heard it all, nothing surprises me See I'm the
one, I'm the
anomaly But never mind me, I'll just be up over here killing 'em quietly You know? [Jay Ant (G-Eazy):] I'm tryna know what the
future holds, hey (Tryna know) But it ain't for you to know (It ain't for you to know) I
treat my self like the
usual, yeah (Just keep it to myself and keep it moving) But it ain't for you to know (You know?) My vision clear, never losing hope But it ain't for you to know I
tell my self like usual But it ain't for you to know [G-Eazy:] Yeah, and I
heard 'em say Nothing's ever promised, tomorrow or today From the
Bay, like 40 and Dre So I'ma do it in a
major way I
said, I
heard 'em say Nothing's ever promised, tomorrow or today From the
Bay, like 40 and Dre Chasing dreams, it's the
only way [E-40:] I'm still here, remember these lyrics And when I'm dead and gone, I'll be there in spirit Don't let 'em run my name in the
mud, don't let 'em smear it Just pour some Rossi out, go ahead and tear it One of a
kind, no copy Tell your grandchildren's children 'bout me Tell 'em I
was the
illest Let 'em know I
spit the
realest Went from pennies and nickels to large amounts Kept it in the
hood, where it counts Never was them, always was him Had to prove myself time and time again Just when they thought it was it He back with another hit We brought the
Bay to the
rest of the
world (who was it?) E-40 and Gerald [Jay Ant:] I'm tryna know what the
future holds, hey But it ain't for you to know I
treat my self like the
usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know My vision clear, never losing hope But it ain't for you to know I
tell my self like usual But it ain't for you to know [G-Eazy:] So where I
go from here? I
did the
most you could possibly pack into a
year Now I
can either fall off and completely disappear Or, I
can move up to the
highest tier Conversations with Gerald, standing in front the
mirror Ask myself like "Fuck the
bullshit, what you really fear?" We all want to be understood, hope they hear us clear Well, that shit never happens everywhere Yeah, so I
just do me on my "fuck the
world" shit I'm riding through the
town listening to Earl's shit Been trying to lift the
Bay up, I
could probably curl it I
learn from the
legends, they tell me, "You're it" So I
always maintain and try to stay sane But, just do you, give a
fuck what they saying We artists are all alike, we feel the
same pain You want the
whole world, you want the
same thing [Jay Ant:] I'm tryna know what the
future holds, hey But it ain't for you to know I
treat my self like the
usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know My vision clear, never losing hope But it ain't for you to know I
tell myself like usual But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know My vision clear, never losing hope But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know
