The Future - De La Soul[00:00:00]
We are singing you this message[00:01:25]
Through our music reaching for a brave and brighter[00:01:29]
New tomorrow is the future[00:01:35]
We must make it safe and happy for the children[00:01:40]
Or or they will be lost[00:01:47]
Or or they will be lost[00:01:50]
Aiyyo I jump back put the aim on my shot[00:01:55]
It's mandatory handle glory over with the rock[00:01:58]
I'm not a rough guy but a tough guy to beat over drums[00:02:01]
No son to this I'm a rhyme bastard[00:02:04]
Some mastered the art of cash but not the part that lasts[00:02:06]
And disappear after doin two albums[00:02:09]
We're not your normal team and we still do ours to fit[00:02:11]
Hope inside this don't define it's[00:02:14]
Quits for those who oppose the new[00:02:17]
Playin they've outgrown rap like a size 5 shoe[00:02:19]
Oh they all now alternative touch[00:02:22]
Were surprised no demise for us[00:02:24]
We on the rise to bust big how you fig' we couldn't[00:02:26]
Never run out of verbs for you to sip I told you we wouldn't[00:02:29]
I never popped Crist' or popped fists girl named Chrissie[00:02:34]
Was the first which made it even worse not to miss me[00:02:36]
Or or they will be lost (the future)[00:02:39]
Or or they will be lost (the future)[00:02:42]
So do you understand it now Well try standin over[00:02:47]
Seven box sets reppin sixteen years[00:02:49]
This rap career ain't work it's the life in-between[00:02:52]
Bedtime 'til the next said time and date[00:02:56]
Know the name and salute them dudes[00:02:59]
Put the nutrient in rap when they cook them foods[00:03:00]
Gotta be like eighteen million heads served[00:03:02]
Shit imagine if there wasn't no us huh [00:03:04]
So I'd like to take the time to shout out the JB's[00:03:07]
Next on my list is A Tribe Called Quest[00:03:10]
Latifah my Queen Monie Love Dres and Mr Lawnge[00:03:13]
Chi-Ali on your head God bless[00:03:15]
Never ring chasin the permanent tat[00:03:17]
In this rap shit y'all are just temporary lick-ons[00:03:20]
Fadin in the days to come[00:03:23]
While the name De La and the legacy built lives on[00:03:25]
We are singing (sing it out now)[00:03:29]
You this message (sendin you a message y'all)[00:03:30]
Through our music (through the music)[00:03:33]
Reaching for a brave and brighter new tomorrow[00:03:35]
(another day y'all) is the future (it's the future)[00:03:40]
(it's the future) We must make it (we gotta make it)[00:03:43]
Safe and happy for the children (for the children)[00:03:47]
You little brats[00:03:49]
