Future (Explicit)

look into your future, what do you see?

look into your past life, what do you see?

you could be anything you desire to be!

so what do you see, man, what do you see?

do you see misery or yourself in victory?

we are from the future, man, we write our own history

life is not a mystery, it's an extension of me

do you see liberty, or the penitentiary?

do you see your friends or enemies, what about poverty?

i'm not inside of life, life's inside of me

it got to be my hip hop philosophy,

that got me to the top of society's monopolies

rock with me, copy me, hit the newer future,

a loser will not be me

i'm breaking these clips off something properly

with knowledge of self, that's hip hop to me!

look into your future, what do you see?

look into your past life, what do you see?

you could be anything you desire to be!

so what do you see, man, what do you see?

i treat the mic like a crystal ball, leafs are full

with no future- what they told me when i was back at school

played it cool, did grams, until i heard the cool,

fire caset with krs teaching me the rule of hip hop

it made my path a lot brighter,

but this dyslexic kiddie somehow turned to a writer

time to realize nothings how it has to be,

anything you desire can become a reality

we bring philosophies you ain't used to,

in a delorean, stormin' in back from the future

they're trying to confuse you like words from a mp

they want you to conform and not be free like you should be

f**k that! look at how far working hard's took me

step outside the box, imagine what you could see

or you would see if only you believed it,

we only use a small part of our brain, it's no secret

look into your future, what do you see?

look into your past life, what do you see?

you could be anything you desire to be!

so what do you see, man, what do you see?

is this my destiny,

or did i let the things in life get the best of me?

i made my own recipe, i feel the need to bless the beat

never stress-fully, no hands out,

but then i'll take whatever's left for me

cos' every person is an unwritten book,

the gaze ain't locked, you have to work to have a look

train the mental, like i do over instrumentals

like when i freestyle for hours with powers that's influential

prevent you, maybe you just gotta climb a fence, dude

change your life like those sore past events do

even if it don't make sense, it'll clear in the future,

then look back but never fear

cos' it's a gamble, with before odds than the lottery

i've got to breathe,

i've got to bring shit,

i've got a lot to be

all you've got to do is open your eyes to see,

that the person can always pick the apple from the tree

look into your future, what do you see?

look into your past life, what do you see?

you could be anything you desire to be!

so what do you see, man, what do you see?

when you think about your life and the path that you pursue

and are you 100% satisfied with what you do?

and do you love it, do you hate it?

there's been many that have made it, many more that did not

i dedicate my life to hip hop,

and i'm happy in the knowing that my passion is my job,

i could've been a minimum wage earnin' burger flipping slob

i could've been some dead beat father with kids that miss him

instead i became aware of my surroundings,

aimed ahead of the game, i thought of the plan,

began to stir and formulate my moves

your mind should always be searching for ways for you to improve,

there's no perfection, just perception of preconceptions

if your whole family's broke,

you should strive to be the exception

i beseech, as i preach everything

i learnt from teach, freedom of speech

my growing tentacles are further in they reach,

halt to a screech

it's never too late for the bus to turn,

what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger,

as long as you learn
