Future

Hook:

I’m starin’ at the future through a blood-red sky,

City in ruins but I still aim high.

If I gotta build it from the rubble, that’s fine,

Long as my vision stay sharp, I’ma shine.

See the past in the rearview small and faint,

Road full of scars but I still ain’t faint.

If the world burn down, I’ma still stay true,

’Cause the future look bright from this view.

Verse 1:

See my name on the towers that ain’t built yet,

See my kids in the house that I ain’t filled yet.

Every bar that I write is a blueprint,

Every move that I make, that’s a new brick.

I ain’t rappin’ just to flex for the timeline,

I’m tryna make sure my bloodline fine.

So the deals that I sign gotta make sense,

I ain’t sellin’ out my soul for the quick cents.

Verse 2:

Future me lookin’ back like “Thank God you ain’t fold,”

“Thank God you ain’t quit when the nights got cold.”

I can’t let the present fear block the long game,

I’d rather lose right now than lose the whole name.

So I sacrifice sleep for the vision,

Sacrifice clout for the mission.

If it ain’t buildin’ what I see in my mind,

Then I’m cuttin’ that tie, I ain’t wastin’ no time.

Verse 3:

I’m investin’ in my health, in my mental,

In my fam, in my craft, in potential.

I’m thinkin’ generational, not weekend,

Tryna plant trees I ain’t even gon’ sleep in.

When they talk about my name in the next life,

I want “he gave more than he took” as the headline.

Till then, I keep grindin’ in the now space,

Future lookin’ like a crown case.

Spoken outro (beat fading):

The vision ain’t just for me…

It’s for everybody that ever felt stuck in this city of ruins.

Keep walkin’ toward your own portal.
