Letter To The Future - Heavy D & The Boyz[00:00:00]

Written by：Pete Rock/Heavy D[00:00:00]

People[00:00:07]

The world today is in a very difficult situation[00:00:11]

And we all know it[00:00:16]

Because we're the ones who created it[00:00:18]

What's wrong with our future[00:00:21]

What's wrong with our future[00:00:26]

What's wrong with our future[00:00:31]

What's wrong with our future[00:00:36]

Bust this[00:00:40]

How long will this last[00:00:41]

A friend to the end a memory in the past[00:00:44]

You think you're big 'cause you walk with a shotgun[00:00:46]

I got new for you your days are numbered son[00:00:49]

Why don't you get yourself a job[00:00:52]

When your kid grows up do you want him to rob[00:00:54]

Look at your mother tear drops[00:00:57]

She just received a phone call from the cops[00:00:59]

Your son will do life 'cause he wigged a man's wife[00:01:02]

Shot her with a gun and stabbed her with a knife or[00:01:04]

Take a look at your mother's heart torn[00:01:08]

She just received a phone call from the morgue[00:01:10]

Your son is dead from three shots to the head[00:01:12]

The killer left a note and this is what the note said[00:01:15]

Never be bigger than you are[00:01:18]

Never try to pose like you're a superstar[00:01:20]

Next time you rob somebody and[00:01:23]

You give him the death wish[00:01:24]

When you pull the trigger ni**a don't miss[00:01:25]

Is this how you wanna be[00:01:28]

Dead on the street or locked in a penetentiary[00:01:31]

It's cool to be free[00:01:33]

And it's alright for you to be you and for me to be me[00:01:35]

Look at you 15 years old[00:01:38]

Coolin on the corner with a can of old gold[00:01:41]

Whatever happened to school[00:01:44]

Yeah sure you go to school but you go to be cool[00:01:46]

To sport sneakers that you took from somebody[00:01:49]

To talk about the kid that you bucked at some party[00:01:51]

Life is a gamble and you're losin[00:01:54]

Before it's too late brother you better start choosin[00:01:57]

Left from right right from wrong[00:02:00]

Or you'll be singin that old blues song[00:02:02]

Yo you gotta buck em or else you're soft[00:02:05]

Some I knew thought the same now they're way up north[00:02:07]

You ain't soft 'cause you didn't buck a shot[00:02:10]

Put the pistol down throw up your hands see what ya got[00:02:12]

Old Johnny walker from around the block[00:02:15]

Was livin' rather large 'till he got knocked[00:02:17]

He had livin' large on his Jeep plates[00:02:20]

Livin' large on his real estate[00:02:22]

He even bought a diamond livin' large name plate[00:02:23]

He used to look at cops and smile in their face[00:02:25]

Drive a BMW and pump the bass[00:02:28]

One day he made a move for a friend[00:02:31]

The friend the voice said[00:02:33]

Yo I need ten Johnny said when[00:02:34]

Later on that day Johnny went to play the game[00:02:36]

He normally plays[00:02:40]

To do a favour for a chum[00:02:41]

You see a friend is a friend but then some are none[00:02:43]

'Cause when he got to the spot they were supposed to meet[00:02:46]

All he found was a police infested street[00:02:49]

I guess havin a friend is rough[00:02:52]

'Cause now Johnny's up north doin push ups gettin buffed[00:02:54]

You see this chain I've got I've got it honestly[00:02:57]

You see the clothes I wear I've got it honestly[00:03:00]

You see the Jeep I drive I've got it honestly[00:03:02]

I work hard it ain't easy being me[00:03:05]

Never had an excuse for life[00:03:07]

Just did what I did now what I do I do it right[00:03:09]

Jumbo Jumbo they cry on the block[00:03:12]

5 0 5 0 lay low here comes the cops[00:03:15]

Man your lifestyle is petro[00:03:18]

On your knees again because Jumbo said so[00:03:20]

Free Mandela you cried[00:03:23]

But you still sell d**e to brothers and sisters outside[00:03:25]

Martin Luther king had a dream ooh yeah[00:03:28]

That's exactly what turned his dream into a nightmare[00:03:31]

Malcolm X said by any means necessary[00:03:33]

He didn't mean just for you brother he meant for everybody[00:03:36]

Maybe if we were still slaves we'll be closer however[00:03:39]

Pickin cotton was bad but we picked it together[00:03:41]

I pray for you and you pray for me[00:03:44]

Sincerely yours the overweight lover heavy D[00:03:46]

What's wrong with our future[00:03:50]

What's wrong with our future[00:03:55]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:00]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:05]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:10]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:15]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:21]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:26]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:31]

What's wrong with our future[00:04:35]
