The Future(Explicit) - De La Soul

The Future - De La Soul
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
Sh*t 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 sh*t 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
