What the Future Holds (Explicit)

What the Future Holds (Explicit) - M.O.P.

A big city baby

Time to bend on some sh*t

Yall people don't understand

That sh*t is real out here

I'm a tell yall a story

Now this story didn't happen too long ago

And it wasn't that far away

It's about some real niggas

Niggas doin' real things aight

So let me get to the first page and I'll break it down like this

Chapter one

I was a young child lost went to church on Sundays

Walking a narrow road that lead me to gunplay

I was a good boy respect my mommy

Looked up to them OGs like Querto Phil and Donny

Felt good as a young ni**a

Comin' home from school gettin' love from them neighborhood ** dealers

Wrote change Cadillac Sevilles

But spoke real was a tradition Brownsville

That was the first chapter passin' these stages

But the book is wider and it's a lot more pages

The game changed people got foul

And the same little chuch boy is buckwild

Runnin' wit my homeboys from three three nine

And one five four five totin' four fives

I kept dreams of being a rap dude

But I know the streets too well so I pack tools

I lost a lot of loved ones to these streets

And lost a lot of loved ones over beef

That goes to show these streets haunt ya

Look what society created now a monsta

My day and age was a different role

It's when a slug take a niggas soul

Slug take a niggas soul

Follow your dreams and follow your goals

Cause who knows what the future holds

Who knows what the future holds

Our man died and was left cold

Because a slug took the niggas soul

Slug took the niggas soul

Follow your dreams and follow your goals

Cause who knows what your future holds

This is what your future holds

I wish somebody would lend a hand

So they could see how I fell inside

I'm on an emotional roller coaster ride

Nothing to hide

A long time ago I set aside my pride

And used my past as a ghetto guide

A few good men died several wept stood beside me

So I could smooth out the road for those that come behind me

You know where you can find me

Out on the back blocks

Grippin' black glocks in front of crack spots

It's just a hobby

And since I was a baby

Thuggin' smokin' drinkin' totin' is how the first family raised me

He who lives as a gangter will perish in these streets

I know that's deep

But I still she'd tears for my mother two years

After she'd been laid to rest

And still some things I need to chisel off my chest

My remedy for stress I conversate wit my oldest brother

Ten years after his death

I know there's nothin' left

So I'm forced to take a deep breath

Before I attempt to take another step

A lot of brothas slept

A lot of brothas was left cold in the street and told

This is what your future holds

My day and age was a different role

It's when a slug take a niggas soul

Slug take a niggas soul

Follow your dreams and follow your goals

Cause who knows what the future holds

Who knows what the future holds

Our man died and was left cold

Because a slug took the niggas soul

Slug took the niggas soul

Follow your dreams and follow your goals

Cause who knows what your future holds

This is what your future holds

So there you have it

You see a lot of niggas talk about bullshit

Talkin' about cars jewels and money

But in all reality we all come out the same bag of sh*t

Some of us may never see tomorrow

So my niggas

Don't you never don't you ever forget where you come from

Salute

M.O.P. for life baby
