Plot
Incarcerated and charged with murder, David Aames Jr. is telling the story of how he got to where he is to McCabe, the police psychologist. That story includes: being the 51% shareholder of a major publishing firm, which he inherited from his long deceased parents; the firm's board, appointed by David Aames Sr., being the 49% shareholders who would probably like to see him gone as they see him as being too irresponsible and immature to run the company; his best bro friendship with author, Brian Shelby; his "friends with benefits" relationship with Julie Gianni, who saw their relationship in a slightly different light; his budding romance with Sofia Serrano, who Brian brought to David's party as his own date and who Brian saw as his own possible life mate; and being in an accident which disfigured his face and killed the person who caused the accident. But as the story proceeds, David isn't sure what is real and what is a dream/nightmare as many facets of the story are incompatible to be all real. The mysterious man in the restaurant may be able to shed some light on David's confusion.

David: Where's Sofia? WHERE IS SHE?::Julie: I AM SOFIA.
David: Doc, once you've been driven off a bridge at 80 miles an hour, somehow you don't invite happiness in without a full body search.
David: I wanna wake up! Tech support! It's a nightmare! Tech support! Tech support!

Miranda July (born February 15, 1974) is an American performance artist, writer, actress and film director. Born Miranda Jennifer Grossinger, she works under the surname of "July," which can be traced to a character from a "girlzine" Miranda created with high school friend Johanna Fateman, called Snarla.
Miranda July was born in Barre, Vermont, the daughter of Lindy Hough and Richard Grossinger. Her parents, who taught at Goddard College at the time, are both writers. In 1974 they founded North Atlantic Books, a publisher of alternative health, martial arts, and spiritual titles. Her father was Jewish and her mother was Protestant. July was encouraged to work on her short fiction by author and friend of a friend, Rick Moody.
Miranda grew up in Berkeley, California, where she first began writing plays and staging them at the all-ages club 924 Gilman. She attended The College Preparatory School in Oakland for high school. She later attended UC Santa Cruz, dropping out in her sophomore year. After leaving college, she moved to Portland, Oregon and took up performance art. Her performances were successful; she has been quoted as saying she has not worked a day job since she was 23 years old.
"I'm not gonna kill you. I want you to do me a favor.
I want you to tell all your friends about me."
"What are you?!"
"I'm Batman."
I've seen the future and it will be

Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
New world needs spiritually
That will last
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So I can't go like a jerk
Yellow Smiley offers me X
Like he's drinking seven up
I would rather drink 6 razor blades
Razor blades from a paper cup
He can't understand, I say 2 tough
It's just that I've seen the future
And boy it's rough
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
And if there's life after, we will see
So U can't go like a jerk
No, no
I've seen the future and it will be
Wait a minute
Pretty pony standing on the avenue
Flashin' a loaded pistol, 2 dumb 2 be true
Somebody told him playin' cops and robbers was cool
Would our rap have been different if we only knew?
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it works
If there's life after, we will see
Don't go out like a jerk
Systematic overthrow of the underclass
Hollywood conjures images of the past
New world needs spiritually
That will last

In the future, I Wanna be with you forever, baby
In the future, I Wanna be with you...
They got my back to the wall
Nobody to turn to, nobody I can trust
I used to have friends
But all I could think about was hustlin
That was then, this is now
And this is how I must be
A loose cannon, with a cannon
Nobody can trust me
When half the world is sayin "Fuck Me"
The other half will fear me
Shit both halves will make one whole
But nothing can dare those cowards to come near me
Yeah they hear me, but fuck that
I want them cats to feel me
Cuz to feel me, is to know I'll be a problem till they kill me
It's from sun-up to sun-down
Got my gun up, and I'ma run down
On any ass coward that feelin that I can't get down
I'm a nightmare, the nigga that's always right there
Borderline, with two lines, a little too heavy to fight fair
Unload, reload, cock back, and pop that
And drag to where your top at
And guaranteed that I dropped that
You can't top that
I'm here to put them rumors to rest
Fuck the past
Fuck the present
I'm the future in the flesh
I'm the chrome before the storm
I'm the buzz before the storm
I'm the screech before the crash
I'm the click before the blast
I'm the rise before the fall
I'm the loss before the gain
Vacant Lot will keep it hot
Cuz we the future of this game
Coke game to sober
We takin rap over
Either roll with us or you gettin rolled over
But pardon, niggaz is too hard for your squadron
Evacuate the buildin, save all the women and children
No way around it, niggaz comin in thousands
M17s, grenades, and four-pounders
All you grimmy niggaz get the fuck from round us
Y'all the same cock-housers from the blocks to gouchers
Celebratin is the the feelin when I catch a fake vilian
Send him brick style in the ceilin of an abandonded building
Feel me? y'all got to, I'm the voice of theory
My advice? keep rappin you ain't no where near me
Spillin blood for the dead, God bless them dearly
And look straight to the heavens so I know that He hear me
My shit fluxuate from the drop seven, to the wide bodied eight
Up on in corner, with the sweeper I let the body gate
When I do niggaz, it's how I do niggaz
And two niggaz got nothin for me
When they saw me looked the other way and tried to ignore me
I put holes, like foot holes, in niggaz buttholes
Stomp a mudhole, when I cut hoes, the fuckin blood flows
That was bustin niggaz wide, I was 10 when I died
Now I'm walkin dead with the infared by my side
Keepin niggaz in line like a parade
Then they scatter like roaches when they get sprayed with Raid
Like a grenade, playin with spades is the plan
Now what part of suck my dick don't you understand?
Better act like you know or get smacked like your hoe
When you straped, toe to toe, but can't strap with the flow
And I gets down for mine, with the crime
And if I gots to do time, fuck it
I don't mind
I handle my business and I shoot snitches
Cuz I know nowadays niggaz is more ass than loose bitches
It's all good, I'm still out
Knock on wood, robbin niggaz like my last name is Hood
Cuz I could, go with that mob that goes out to rob
That mad scheme to get cream without the job
I house more niggaz than a shelter
And if a nigga ever felt a, heltah skeltah
It'd would melt away, cuz the pain is too much to bear
Let the dead be dark while the Dark is here
Bone…
And hear that raw shit
We blow this mother fuckers
And never obeyed the law bitch
Ever get noticed all you other niggas are frogs
Got skeletons in your closet
Wanna be blowed away wita gauge
I be rottin till pieces they shattered
Niggas they scattered they testin like bullets
They gather up how many mudered
Don’t matter up in this rap shit
You got to come with it cant fake the funk at all
And bet your ganna fall studying the bone thug style
But whatcha ganna do when you face to face with the 5th dawg
Sneakin federals get wet I'ma predator the reap
No mercy those sleep where my niggas creep
And remember they crept and they came with Eazy
Cant calm me down give me a pound smoke and a bong
Just too damn greedy see these want to be these
G's just cuz of our thug mentality
It’ll be casualties face that gorilla with a nigga torked at chu
Niggas who slippin I'm commin to get you die they flat on their backs collapsed perhaps
You shoulda knew when you came threw
You fucked with a nigga too deadly
Haters all try to come fuck with the gust
Well wanna test these nutz G you aint ready
But do what chu got to do I'll rob you fools
I'll cruse till grim reaps through
Nigga motherfuck em don’t trust em
I'll buck em in the gut and shoot you too
Now you cant hate us all day
We aint leavin no way
We changed the whole game
We brought you into the future
From the 99
Come on come on come on come on come on
Now you cant hate us all day
We aint leavin no way
We changed the whole game
We brought you into the future
From the 99
Come on come on come on come on come on
Well it’s the niggas the niggas the killas that’s raised round sin
Niggas they try to conetend but know they cant win
When I'm breakin flesh up outa the pen
Gimme the hin and gimme the gin
Ready to put in my work again
Nigga better watch it you got it
I’m poppin quick for the dividends
I’m in it to win it
The rest of these rappers that shit is on pause
Got too many flaws you niggas is soft
Thry lyrics is false the reason I’m commin to break em off
Got to get mine so I’m takin yours
Wishin they never did open the door
I’m kickin it through bitch get on the floor
Knowin they never ganna talk no more hoes
Original niggas that’s right we always been down for the murda man
I'ma come back to serve the game break em on down and hurt em man
I never give no mercy mercy after thirty five million still thirsty thirsty
Now yall know niggas been here since we was runnin around with Eazy-E
They was like who was these little niggas talking all of this shit from the Cleveland streets
They aint nothing like these
And we never had beef cuz we was a different kind of breed
Beef with a nigga you bleed fuckin with bone
Been blowin some weed and singing my song hoe
My nigga that’s krayzie layzie wish flesh
Wanna bet we the all time best
The force of the rhythm we give em similar to a sawed off pump hittin your chest
Rippin your vest listen to that
You know when we commin for trouble cuz we got em barrels runnin up on you
aint none of you ready for murder ta bubble I’m I pump and (??) defeated them
They was all scheming thinking wed fall
Then all of a sudden we got up and balled again
Now you cant witness the hearts of men
The game was down
To help it survive we blew through like fresh oxygen
And I got my nine millimeter cocked again
You thug niggas is not my friend
When we crept wasn’t nothing like this
Had to be different so we came with a twist
Straight from the streets where the niggas get rich
Better find a pattern till you see who it is
Livin is hard make soldier growin see what it is take order
Who knew thugs true we bring it through for two one six
We in this put it down make you feel this
We don’t fuck around thugs get down nigga ask around
From the center we flip thugstas equiped
Prepared to make any niggas wig split
Lawyers on our payroll So I never stay long
Back out lay low no aint go so I stay gone
Thuggin it down to the law they at me
Lookin at a thug keeping it raw I got you
Fuckin with me wrong well look what happened
Thugstas got it thugstas got it
We on the same thang make change make change
Repay if you got to do your thing better him than me ok
Its like that around my way
Better hit than dead they say
You don’t want to see that grey
So watch your back while you on that grind
Move forward no rewind watch niggas all the time
Cuz they want your spot they want your spot
Give me back my broken night
my mirrored room, my secret life
it's lonely here,
there's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
over every living soul
And lie beside me, baby,
that's an order!
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
and stuff it up the hole
in your culture
Give me back the Berlin wall
give me Stalin and St Paul
I've seen the future, brother:
it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Nothing you can measure anymore
The blizzard, the blizzard of the world
has crossed the threshold
and it has overturned
the order of the soul
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
When they said REPENT REPENT
I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind
you never will, you never did
I'm the little jew
who wrote the Bible
I've seen the nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories, heard them all
but love's the only engine of survival
Your servant here, he has been told
to say it clear, to say it cold:
It's over, it ain't going
any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
you feel the devil's riding crop
Get ready for the future:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There'll be the breaking of the ancient
western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll be phantoms
There'll be fires on the road
and the white man dancing
You'll see a woman
hanging upside down
her features covered by her fallen gown
and all the lousy little poets
coming round
tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson
and the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall
Give me Stalin and St Paul
Give me Christ
or give me Hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future, baby:
it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
We are singing, you this message
Through our music, reaching for a brave and brighter
New tomorrow, is the future
We must make it, safe and happy, for the children
Or, or, they will be lost
Or, or, they will be lost
Aiyyo I jump back, put the aim on my shot
It's mandatory, handle glory over with the rock
I'm not a rough guy but a tough guy to beat over drums
No son to this, I'm a rhyme bastard
Some mastered the art of cash, but not the part that lasts
And disappear after doin' two albums
We're not your normal team and we still do ours to fit
Hope inside this, don't define it's
Quits for those who oppose the new
Playin' they've outgrown rap like a size 5 shoe
Oh they all need you now, alternative touch
Were surprised, no demise for us
We on the rise to bust big, how you fig' we couldn't
Never run out of verbs for you to sip, I told you we wouldn't
I never popped Crist' or popped fists, girl named Chrissie
Was the first, which made it even worse not to miss me
Or, or, they will be lost
(The future)
Or, or, they will be lost
(The future)
So do you understand it now? Well, try standin' over
Seven box sets, reppin' sixteen years
This rap career ain't work, it's the life in-between
Bedtime 'til the next said time and date
Know the name and salute them dudes
Put the nutrient in rap when they cook them foods
Gotta be like eighteen million heads served
Shit, imagine if there wasn't no us, huh?
So I'd like to take the time to shout out the JB's
Next on my list is A Tribe Called Quest
Latifah my Queen, Monie Love, Dres and Mr. Lawnge
Chi-Ali, on your head God bless
Never ring chasin', the permanent tat
In this rap shit, y'all are just temporary lick-ons
Fadin in the days to come
While the name De La and the legacy built lives on
We are singing
(Sing it out now)
You this message
(Sendin' you a message y'all)
Through our music
(Through the music)
Reaching for a, brave and brighter new tomorrow
(Another day y'all)
Is the future
(It's the future)
(It's the future)
We must make it
(We gotta make it)
Safe and happy, for the children
(For the children)
I can't hear you
(I am the future)
I like it when you say my name
Y'all gon' love me
Feelin' it's about to get ugly
Inject this dose of the future
Tap them veins, grab hold, let me shoot ya
Mainline this new Diddy heroin
The Afro-American dream is too evident
The potential to be the first black President
iTunes, download me in every resident
Early, I skip breakfast
Nigga be on his grind like he need new brake pads
We in the hood like black soap and dollar vans
My CD's in 3-D holograms
The future, y'all need to holla, man
The live show's a hard act to follow, man
Bronze, my likeness, y'all need to follow him
From now to 3000, I'll be a problem man
The future
I am the future
(Always before you, always ill)
With my demeanor, flip, assemble my own team to
Say fuck FEMA in case there's another Katrina
You laughed at the past, said I was a dreamer
But it is back to the future, sold out arenas
We take 'em to the cleaners, calm ya nerves
This is the man who provided more jobs
For blacks than armed services
Cut them corners, stay ahead of them curvatures
Yeah, ya heard of us, hits stay superfluous
Man, I extend credit to a vagabond
Run your city and we not talkin' marathons
Bang like chitty chitty, here to disturb you
New CD, watch it spread like bird flu
America, fall back, you can't stop me
Got a thing for pigeon-toed chicks who walk knock-kneed
Skin tight jeans, we call that botoxied
I'm desensitized, baby, you can't shock me, I'm the future
I am the future
(Always before you, always ill, the future)
I went from, blocks to greater to fortunes rock related
Now my entire crib is voice activated
?Television on?, ?Mr. Combs is home?
Solar panel rooftop, my kitchen is chrome
Dim the lights to a purple haze, then answer the phone
Peep the moon through my retractable dome
What they thought they assassinated, was only a clone
We about to venture off into the unknown
Where sun rays hook off layers of ozone
Chips inserted in the brain, the new cell phone
The future, fuck with me now
I'm Grammy certified, the committee can pick me now
And they all green with envy like Bill Bixby
Bow down, kiss the tip of my cane, I paid sixty thou'
You know the suit stay crispy now
Hands to the sky and get ready if you wit me now
The future
Never seen before, never will
Always before you, always ill

Little bit of cologne, little bit of Patron

Wrist kind of heavy, I'm a little well known
Matching crosses, different color stones

See, in one line I got her to come over
Tell her I'm dumb sober, but hung over
She play the club, sippin on Mimosa (hey)
I can fit your whole crew in one Rover
Just kick your shoes off 'fore you step in

Well let's head OT, cop a one way
Step off the runway like we on the runway
Have your girlfriends thinkin you a runaway
Never mind, I already know what you gon' say (uh)

I'm tired of talking about the past
Time to take these stones out of my pack
I've been walking way too long with all this weight here on my shoulders
Hard to move while you're looking back
You, you're like a light in the darkness
You, you got me on track
Now the future is a big wide open highway
I wanna drive it our way
Just keep rolling all along, rolling along
Oh, the future is a wind that keeps on breaking
So hold my hand, let's dive in
Into the blue
Cause i look at you
And I see the future
No ropes, no strings to tie us down
Nothing to keep us on the ground
I don't need to know and I don't care just where we're going
I just dont wanna turn around
Don't wanna turn around
Cause the future is a big wide open highway

And now that I've got you by my side
In the future there's a big wide open highway

America, fall back, you can't stop me
Got a thing for pigeon-toed chicks who walk knock-kneed
Skin-tight jeans we call that botoxied
I'm desensitized baby, you can't shock me
I'm the future
Always before you
("The Fu-The Fu-The-Future-ture-ture-ture-ture...")
Always ill
I went from, blocks to greater to fortunes rock related
Now my entire crib is voice activated
Television on, Mr. Combs is home
Solar panel rooftop my, kitchen is chrome
Dim the lights to a purple haze then answer the phone
(Hello?) Peep the moon through my retractable dome
What they thought they assassinated was only a clone
We about to venture off into the unknown (let's go)
Where sunrays hook off layers of ozone
Chips inserted in the brain, the new cell phone
The future, fuck with me now
I'm Grammy certified the committee can pick me now
And they all green with envy like Bill Bixby
Bow down, kiss the tip of my cane, I paid sixty thou'
You know the suit stay crispy now
Hands to the sky and get ready if you wit me now
The future
Never seen before, never will
Always before you, always ill
I AM!!!
The future has long lines
The future looks like a screen
It's all you'll ever see
All lit up like a stadium and
Who will be the first?
The future's made of dust
And we are all just rust in the machine
About to make some more mistakes
Get deathly ill three, four times
I'll find money on the street, no unexpected luck
I will spend some time crying
I'll be adept so much I'll be transformed
I'll get the baby in the king cake
I'll climb a small mountain, get three more bikes stolen
Take four more of kitchen series
Which is imitations and hooks
Bits that you remember nothing
Ask it's another look
The future's empty in it's way
The future has long lines
The future looks like a screen
And I cannot believe the future's happening to me
Arrows pointed, educated, words to let you know
The border guards have graduated
They're taking up their post
I lift the receiver, find you there
I'll win and lose some bets
The magic hour, make me feel at home
In a place I don't know yet
I'll spook the horse, keep the lights on
Leave mythologies alone
I'll try to say all the right things
But get hung up on the tone
The future has long lines
The future looks like a screen
I talk shit like Mayweather 'cause I know I'm way better
I'm a beast like Della Reese, I'm on the grind all the time I ain't never sleep
I eat Jay-Z for breakfast, Weezy for dinner I ain't dissin not at all I'm jus a starvin little nigga tryna eat
Like a hungry Ethiopian, nigga we be trappin we got keys like a custodian
Long as clips with 33's like Nickelodeon, noticing might put you on the wing like you deodorant
Goin at every verse I'm shittin on, hard body rigamore tip he call a play I run that shit back like I'm Clinton Portis
Touchdown on these haters, like what now? Aaron Jones to all dese rappers and we hopin you shut down
It like everytime I'm round, dem shooters be on deck and I'm ready to gun down
My pockets say ching, ching my necklace ain't bling, bling
Puffin on dat Cali butter say color is string be, I be up in Hollywood wonderin why you ain't seen me
I was in the 57, mackin like a 11, high like I'm in heaven can't nobody do it better
Got dem multi-colored diamonds lookin like a gucci sweater
See dem jack boys lookin like dey wanna jack a leather, I ain't never been a pussy
Bring dem choppers to whoever[yea]
Drama, I'm a problem. you ain't tell em, I be shittin on dese rappers
I'm surprised dat you ain't smell em, or hell em, spit fire breathe ether
Creepin thru the hood, my hoodie on like I'm de reaper,
Full pound on my big boy, and dem speaker, ACP
Put you on air like you ACG, I prolli Nike check a nigga tryna play with me
Or matter fact I'll check a nigga like he ADD[what]
Tell me why the grass was greener,
Years ago, I swear, it used to grow here,
But no more here.
Tell me why on this hill,
All the birds they used to come to fly here,
Come to die here.
Tell me why I need to know,
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to know
All you've shown me.
Hey world, what you say,
Should I stick around for another day or two?
Don't give up on me, I won't give up on you.
Just believe in me like I believe in you.
Tell me why, on the corner,
All the kids that used to come to run here,
Load their guns here.
And tell me why it's okay to kill in the name of the Gods we pray,
Tell me who said it's okay to die in the name of the lies we say,
Tell me why there's child soldiers,
Tell me why they close the borders,
Tell me how to fight disease, and
Tell me now, won't you please
The only thing I want to do
Is to be in the arms of someone who
Believes in me, like I believe in you
And I sayThey talk of the future like it's already the past
They Talk about the future like today will never last
Thay talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash
Taxman come to remove your cash
They talk of the future like a criminal plans
Corporate robberies in far off lands
They tell you the future's a big wonderland
And that homeland security's got a career for you
Don't you believe what they told you before
It's the same frikin' lies that they'll tell you some more
They searchin' your bag as you're boarding the plane
And they telling your neighbors that you went insane
I wouldn't believe that this was all coming true
If I could not see with my eyes that it's true
Even still I hope the future gets here soon
Bring it on bring it on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]
Ready or not we're bringing it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
They take all your privacy give it away
And for musical piracy lock you away
They tell you that war is a permanent thing
And American Idol kids really can sing
Potheads on a rescue mission,
Put your cancer in remission
People starving, malnutrition
Work your abs into condition
Oh no now they after your soul
And they're telling you now that you're losing control
Well it's true cause I just got sick of it all
They say the savior's comin he's down at the mall
He's signing some autographs and selling them all
Pick up the phone now and make the call
I wouldn't believe that this is all coming true
If I could not see with my eyes that it's true
Even still I hope the future gets here soon
Bring it on bring it on
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]
Ready or not we're bringing it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on
Stay for Tomorrow
Stay For Tomorrow
They talk of the future like today will never last
They talk of the future like it's already the past
They talk of the future while their diggin' through your trash
Taxman come to remove your cash
The future's comin' on like a bomb
The whole worlds rockin' and the beat goes on
Ready or not we're bringing it on
The whole world's rockin' and the beat goes on [x2]
Stay for tomorrow
Stay for tomorrow
Hey world what you say,
Should I stick for around for another day
Hey world what you say,
Should I stick for around for another day

Back then I knew for sure
So much more left to explore
Now days have turned to years
Turns out where still stuck in here
What happened to our dreams?
The bag are packed but do we ever leave?
Crazy or natural
Risky or plain beautiful
How much more time to kill
Come with me say: "Yes, I will"
Remember what we talked about?
No regrets, no money and no doubts
Our future has begun
Fucked upo and on the run
We are in this together
One last chance to live forever
Let us be having fun
Like nobody has never done
Fly high escape the blues
Or crash back down like Howard Hughes
Remember what we talked about?
When this baby hits 88 miles per hour,
You're gunna see some serious shit
Next saturday night,
We're sending you back to the future
Goin out to all the 80's babys
Get familiar with Hyper Crush
Take me into the future

Visions of my future
But this is what I'm use to
I'm movin like a super sonic rocket for moon dust
Illusion, some success
Livin' it up like fuck death
Enough said
I must get my destiny
They say live and let it be
I say give me my cheddar cheese
Or I be my enemys

(Oh)
Hello? Hello? Anybody home?
Everything around here makes me sad
Everything is part of the dreams that we had
That will never be the way we wanted them to be
When we dreamed these dreams that we had
We wanted them to be the future
That is now is not how we dreamed of the future
With a house and a love that I would ride into the future
With my arms around you tight
My love in your heart, my lust on your shoulder
Is like a beautiful [Incomprehensible]
Flashing gallant as a stallion on parade through the city
A beautiful dream, a bohemian love song
That would only sound more gallant as the years would perfect it
But I can see in my heart which is beating in the present here and now
I can see that this is only a dream
Come on and wake up with me
Hey, come on and wake up with me
Hey, come on and wake up with me
Everything around here is so beautiful
Everything is part of the dreams we will paint
That will never look the way we thought that they would look
When we began to step into the future
From the place that we are standing
It don't look too good right now
But I know you're a wonderful painter
You're a master with your colors
And as mine get fainter and your pallet
There will always be an afterglow of a beautiful dream
That will never be the way we dreamed it to be
But hey, come on and wake up with me
Hey, come on and wake up with me
Hey, come on and wake up with me
Hey, come on and wake up with me
Shot through time
With one mission in mind
Man is on the brink of extinction
The computer must be destroyed
There I was shit out into a lazerworld
An ant to a cyber colossus
The last of the humankind
Neon sectors scream
The drone materializes before me
"Klaatu Anauj I Ram Barada Om Nikto"
WITH ONE SUPER-MASSIVE FIST
MANKIND WILL BE CRUSHED
MANKIND IS DOOMED
I speak your doomwords
"Klaatu Anauj I Ram Barada Om Nikto"
There was a GIANT COSMIC BOOM
The mayor of the future approached me
And shoved an orb into my head
The mayor of the future approached me
And declared me worthy
SONIC MECHANICAL WARFARE
[female] What are you thinkin about right now?
[Verse 1: OneBeLo]
Right now? [echoes]
The past, specifically the days I remember
In mind, body, soul I was far from a winner
Poor sinner, my fork in a pork dinner
Drugs, sex, alcohol; Lo is not a quitter nor a forfeiter
A vagabond, talkin back to moms, sold dope out her home
Stole everything I owned -- told lies
Ignored the old wise, glitter caught my cold eyes
Didn't really know why, truth is where the gold lies
What was present then, past now
Had me thinkin that's how life was 'sposed to be for every black child
Strange words, same feathers flock together
When the cops together, lock together, better off a caged bird
Sight closed minded; Lo find it hard to believe
I could lead by example I was so blinded
See every action has a consequence but then
I didn't beware or prepare or really care
[Chorus]
If I thought about (the future), let's talk about (the future)
The children are (the future), who's ready for (the future)
What happens in (the future), we not promised (the future)
Only God knows (the future), the future (the future)
Let's think about (the future), let's talk about (the future)
The children are (the future), who's ready for (the future)
What happens in (the future) , we not promised
[female] Everyday is just an extension of yesterday
[Verse 2: OneBeLo]
Now in the present day, I'm blessed to say let the record play
Usin my music as a movement to correct mistakes
Knowin my death awaits, I hesitate to question fate
Boys and girls, this world is nothin but a test of faith
So now I'm plannin every step I take, must be a better way
Deeply meditate on these ahead I pray
Seek to elevate bein lead astray, flee the devil's face
Evil separates, reach the heaven gates (gates)
Easier said is the known rebuttal
The mind is willin but the flesh is weak, peace/piece form a puzzle
Jihad means the struggle, so I sacrifice
Satisfy today's seed could be a garden in the afterlife (afterlife)
[Chorus]
Think about it (the future), let's talk about (the future)
The children are (the future), who's ready for (the future)
What happens in (the future), we not promised (the future)
Only God knows (the future), the future (the future)
Let's think about it (the future), let's talk about it (the future)
The children are (the future), who's ready for (the future)
Only God knows (the future), only God knows (the future)
Only God knows (the future), the future (the future)
[Interlude: OneBeLo]
Not the gypsies, not the crystal balls
Not the fortune tellers, not the horoscopes
Not the Chinese cookies, you know them joints that you be crackin open?
Not Nostradamus, he don't know the future neither, y'knahmsayin?
Not the palm readers, not the psychics, not those tarot cards
Not astrology, y'knahmsayin? Stick to the program (yo)
Check this out..
[Verse 3: OneBeLo]
I heard the future was impressin when you doin some investin
Allah multiply 10 times one of your blessings
Qu'ran full of wisdom, it answer thousands of questions
Muhammad soon to show us the way, follow directions
Life humble essence, wife operation stomach section
Now I witness somethin precious, baby boy young and restless
So many fathers exit, don't bother, this one is present
Even under pressure, family's a treasure - follow my lead
Now as I look into your innocent eyes, full of potential
So much I wanna say that I can't put it in pencil
Or verse, just remember what I caught at your birth
A voice sure could show the world good works (good works)
[Chorus]
Let''s think about (the future), let's talk about (the future)
The children are (the future), who's ready for (the future)
What happens in (the future), we not promised (the future)
Only God knows (the future), the future (the future)
(The future, the future, the future, the future)
(The future, the future, the futurrrrrrrre)
I've waited so long for the future to come
So many reasons, changing seasons
Of my mind
When all that's left are memories
To make us feel alright
We hold ourselves up to the flame
Hoping to get burned
But it's alright now because
We belong above the clouds
Beyond the satellites
We'll be strong
Together if we put it all
Behind us now
And I will fight so hard
To see through your spiteful words
And you should feel the same
And we can live as one once again
So free from sin
I should have known
This time we'd gone too far
And when it's over I'm wondering who you are
Searching for a savior
To lift us from our lives
We hold ourselves up to the flame
Hoping to get burned
But it's alright now because
We belong above the clouds
Beyond the satellites
We'll be strong
Together if we put it all
Behind us now
And all of my life
I have been waiting to be free
Free from the lies
Free from blind hypocrisy
A journey of light
That leads us for away from home
And into the night, into the world
We stand alone
Brother, sisters
Give and eat for the future
We can be lovers or the people
Let's join hands, stopping all the dangers
We can be a better world
For the future
I'm saying that now clear, ripping in confusion
No one knows what is an illusion
There's a chance for us in the future
I'm singing of the
The future, we can be together
The future, better than the world to tell you
The future, oh, we can be so different
The future
The future, the future
The future, the future
Jealousy and being strife
If we keep this up, we all lose our life
Love and peace is what we need
Today
Look around we can make it happen
It's not hard, we have other reasons
Take a chance and make it last forever
The future, we can be together
The future, don't you worry about a thing, no baby
The future, mothers
The future, fathers, raise your children right
The future, don't worry about them in the future
The future, it will be all, it will be alright
The future, I'm talking about
The future, I'm singing about the future
The future, the future
The future, I can't wait for the future
The future, everything will be alright
The future, everything will be alright
It's future, it's the future
It's future, it's the future
It's future, it's the future
I can't hear you!
I like it when you say my name
("The Fu-The Fu-The-Future-ture-ture-ture-ture...")
Y'all gon' love me
Feelin it's about to get ugly
Inject this dose of the future
Tap them veins, grab hold, let me shoot ya
Mainline this new Diddy heroin
The Afro-American dream is too evident
The potential to be the first black President
iTunes, download me in every resident
Early, I skip break-fast
Nigga be on his grind like he need new brake pads
We in the hood like black soap and dollar vans
My CD's in 3-D, holograms
The future, y'all need to holla man
The live show's a hard act to follow man
Bronze my likeness, y'all need to follow him
From now to 3000, I'll be a problem man
The future
Always before you
("The Fu-The Fu-The-Future-ture-ture-ture-ture...")
Always ill
With my demeanor, flip, assemble my own team to
Say fuck FEMA in case there's another Katrina
And you, laughed at the past, said I was a dreamer
But it's, back to the future, sold out arenas
We, take 'em to the cleaners, calm ya nerves
This is the man who provided more jobs for blacks than armed services
(Let's go) Cut them corners, stay ahead of them sharp curvages
Yeah, ya heard of us, hits stay superflous
Man, I extend credit to a vagabond
Run yo' city, and we not talkin marathons
Bang like chitty chitty here to disturb you
New CD, watch it spread like bird flu
America, fall back, you can't stop me
Got a thing for pigeon-toed chicks who walk knock-kneed
Skin-tight jeans we call that botoxied
I'm desensitized baby, you can't shock me
I'm the future
Always before you
("The Fu-The Fu-The-Future-ture-ture-ture-ture...")
Always ill
I went from, blocks to greater to fortunes rock related
Now my entire crib is voice activated
Television on, Mr. Combs is home
Solar panel rooftop my, kitchen is chrome
Dim the lights to a purple haze then answer the phone
(Hello?) Peep the moon through my retractable dome
What they thought they assassinated was only a clone
We about to venture off into the unknown (let's go)
Where sunrays hook off layers of ozone
Chips inserted in the brain, the new cell phone
The future, fuck with me now
I'm Grammy certified the committee can pick me now
And they all green with envy like Bill Bixby
Bow down, kiss the tip of my cane, I paid sixty thou'
You know the suit stay crispy now
Hands to the sky and get ready if you wit me now
The future
Never seen before, never will
Always before you, always ill
Here I go again
Getting upset over nothing
Getting upset over your heart
Over your heart
Over your heart
And if I ruled the world
I would make every country salute you
And if I ruled the world
I'd make you be mine
And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Set me free
Here you go again
Walking away like it's nothing
Walking away from my heart
But I see your eyes at night
And you know what's wrong
And you know what's right.
And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Set me free
The future
ohhhhh
The future
Ohhhh ohhh
Ohhhh ohhh
Ohhhh oooohhh
And I'm always in your cage
Set me free
And you've locked me in your cage
Seven years ago
I was just a young lost soul
With no place to go at all
Now I’m on the road
With schedules of sold out shows
But I still want more
Who could have ever known
The future is here inside my hands
As I travel the unknown
The risks are high the odds are low
But I am not alone
The future is here inside my hands
And I’m answering the call
Cause I’d rather fail then never know at all
All these scars and sores
I’ve collected along the way
But the pain is gone
Once I stand on stage
I’m not running or hiding not anymore
Cause I know there's no way out of this now
What I want is what I need
Until then I believe
The future is here inside my hands
As I travel the unknown
The risks are high the odds are low
But I am not alone
The future is here inside my hands
And I’m answering the call
Cause I’d rather fail then never know at all
There is just one thing that I need to say
Without my friends I couldn't have got to where I’m
standing
There is just one thing I never will forget
Without you here I couldn’t have become who I am
The future is here inside my hands
As I travel the unknown
The risks are high the odds are low
But I am not alone
The future is here inside my hands
And I’m answering the call
Give me back my broken night my mirrored room, my secret life it's lonely here, there's no one left to torture Give me absolute control over every living soul And lie beside me, baby, that's an order! Give me crack and anal sex Take the only tree that's left and stuff it up the hole in your culture Give me back the Berlin wall give me Stalin and St Paul I've seen the future, brother: it is murder.
Things are going to slide, slide in all directions Won't be nothing Nothing you can measure anymore The blizzard, the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it has overturned the order of the soul When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant When they said REPENT REPENT I wonder what they meant
You don't know me from the wind you never will, you never did I'm the little jew who wrote the Bible I've seen the nations rise and fall I've heard their stories, heard them all but love's the only engine of survival Your servant here, he has been told to say it clear, to say it cold: It's over, it ain't going any further And now the wheels of heaven stop you feel the devil's riding crop Get ready for the future: it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
There'll be the breaking of the ancient western code Your private life will suddenly explode There'll be phantoms There'll be fires on the road and the white man dancing You'll see a woman hanging upside down her features covered by her fallen gown and all the lousy little poets coming round tryin' to sound like Charlie Manson and the white man dancin'
Give me back the Berlin wall Give me Stalin and St Paul Give me Christ or give me Hiroshima Destroy another fetus now We don't like children anyhow I've seen the future, baby: it is murder
Things are going to slide ...
These atoms are liars
They do not realize, and we can't blame them
art as a means of escape, they don't see the down-side
and that's what takes them
out on the floor
one stretches out it's hands
into the small of a back
and as they circle the room, as they circle the floor
one just wants it more
well, they don't want, anymore
you ca sleep in these hollows and rivers
exalt the righteous and drown the sinners
jesus christ
jesus christ, why is love so lonely
all water on earth
evaporates into steam and erupts from the ground
does anyone else feel guilty?
like I did it all myself
one feels a lack of love and there's no limit
to the explosive power of this bomb
how do we reconcile our deaths
[Meeno]
They got my back to the wall
Nobody to turn to, nobody I can trust
I used to have friends
But all I could think about was hustlin
That was then, this is now
And this is how I must be
A loose cannon, with a cannon
Nobody can trust me
When half the world is sayin "Fuck Me"
The other half will fear me
Shit both halves will make one whole
But nothing can dare those cowards to come near me
Yeah they hear me, but fuck that
I want them cats to feel me
Cuz to feel me, is to know I'll be a problem till they kill me
It's from sun-up to sun-down
Got my gun up, and I'ma run down
On any ass coward that feelin that I can't get down
I'm a nightmare, the nigga that's always right there
Borderline, with two lines, a little too heavy to fight fair
Unload, reload, cock back, and pop that
And drag to where your top at
And guaranteed that I dropped that
You can't top that
I'm here to put them rumors to rest
Fuck the past
Fuck the present
I'm the future in the flesh
[Chorus x2]
I'm the chrome before the storm
I'm the buzz before the storm
I'm the screech before the crash
I'm the click before the blast
I'm the rise before the fall
I'm the loss before the gain
Vacant Lot will keep it hot
Cuz we the future of this game
[Big Stan]
Coke game to sober
We takin rap over
Either roll with us or you gettin rolled over
But pardon, niggaz is too hard for your squadron
Evacuate the buildin, save all the women and children
No way around it, niggaz comin in thousands
M17s, grenades, and four-pounders
All you grimmy niggaz get the fuck from round us
Y'all the same cock-housers from the blocks to gouchers
Celebratin is the the feelin when I catch a fake vilian
Send him brick style in the ceilin of an abandonded building
Feel me? y'all got to, I'm the voice of theory
My advice? keep rappin you ain't no where near me
Spillin blood for the dead, God bless them dearly
And look straight to the heavens so I know that He hear me
My shit fluxuate from the drop seven, to the wide bodied eight
Up on in corner, with the sweeper I let the body gate
[Chorus x2]
[DMX]
When I do niggaz, it's how I do niggaz
And two niggaz got nothin for me
When they saw me looked the other way and tried to ignore me
I put holes, like foot holes, in niggaz buttholes
Stomp a mudhole, when I cut hoes, the fuckin blood flows
That was bustin niggaz wide, I was 10 when I died
Now I'm walkin dead with the infared by my side
Keepin niggaz in line like a parade
Then they scatter like roaches when they get sprayed with Raid
Like a grenade, playin with spades is the plan
Now what part of suck my dick don't you understand?
Better act like you know or get smacked like your hoe
When you straped, toe to toe, but can't strap with the flow
And I gets down for mine, with the crime
And if I gots to do time, fuck it
I don't mind
I handle my business and I shoot snitches
Cuz I know nowadays niggaz is more ass than loose bitches
It's all good, I'm still out
Knock on wood, robbin niggaz like my last name is Hood
Cuz I could, go with that mob that goes out to rob
That mad scheme to get cream without the job
I house more niggaz than a shelter
And if a nigga ever felt a, heltah skeltah
It'd would melt away, cuz the pain is too much to bear
Let the dead be dark while the Dark is here
[Hook]
I got dreams of rollin round the city
Screaming out money ain t a thang
But you know I gotta get it with my niggas
Spend it and the circle stay the same
And they wonder how I m feeling right now
They ask me how I m feeling right now
Said I m feeling like a billion right now
I m feeling like a billion right now
Welcome to electric highway, I m doing things my way
My life is an example of exactly how the grind pay
Ice blue diamonds like bottles of that bombay
I came a long way, the rose from that andre
Been out this world and I ain t neve need galaxy homes
Niggas be twitter hating on me, no galaxy phones
So if them niggas need loans, I m paid to living good
Come and spend a day in these jordans, homie I wish you coul
Drive a delorean, feelings of being born again
The same you is just now, you got some more to spend
More to give, improving the way your people live
And the way your bitches shoppin
Work it, tell em never stop, yeah!
[Hook]
I got dreams of rollin round the city
Screaming out money ain t a thang
But you know I gotta get it with my niggas
And they wonder how I m feeling right now
They ask me how I m feeling right now
Said I m feeling like a billion right now
I m feeling like a billion right now
It s getting late but we still riding
It s getting dark but I m still shining
I can t fight but got so far to go
While I m traveling down this long and this windy road
... like usher told em, you don t have to call
Hey homie, if you really want it, you can get it ala
But anytime that a nigga get anything
These hoes will try to milk ya, watch out for them dairy queens
I used to rock that icecream when I hit the scene
That s right and now ain t near other rappers I ain t hearin
I d rather listen to taylor swift than most of you niggas
And my lady prefer that I never smoke with you niggas
[Hook] x 2
I got dreams of rollin round the city
Screaming out money ain t a thang
But you know I gotta get it with my niggas
Spend it and the circle stay the same
And they wonder how I m feeling right now
They ask me how I m feeling right now
Said I m feeling like a million right now
can't help but wonder about what's underneath these
city streets
the wires and cables tangled up connecting everything
and down below we'll find the bones of people from the
past
people with dreams about the future
and when we die our empty bodies turn to dust
there'll be no pit of fire
no angels singing songs for us
there's nothing we can say that people won't forget
someday
there's nothing we can do that matters
that's okay
just when you think you've got it all worked out
that's probably when they'll put you in the ground
just when i think i've got it all worked out
that's probably when they'll put me in the ground
(just when i think i've got it all worked out
that's probably when they'll put me in the ground)x2
speed
ain't got much faith in god or modern-day mythology
the lies and fables, fate and luck, directing
everything
so down we go down like dominoes, our lives go by too
fast
nobody lives to see the future
and when we die, buildings and bridges left to rust
no heaven in the sky, no pearly gates on clouds and
stuff
the monuments will crumble and decay someday
there's nothing we can do that matters
just when you think you've got it all worked out
that's probably when they'll put you in the ground
just when i think i've got it all worked out
that's probably when they'll put me in the ground
the future
hey!
i wanna laugh as many times
as i can
before i die
i wanna love
i wanna smile
i don't need much
i'm a simple child
i wanna laugh as many times
as i can
before i die
i wanna love
i wanna smile
just wanna fuck
every once in a while
i just wanna fuck every once in a while
i think i finally got it all worked out
somebody come and put me in the ground
i think i finally got it all worked out
somebody come and put me in the ground
can't help but wonder about what's underneath these
city streets
I want to fall in love again
I know where it will happen
Along the California coast
Where the ocean meets the mountains
I can see the future
Driving north a winding road
I had a premonition
A golden badge and rolling hills
Living pointless station
I can see the future
Someday will the clouds blow away
Watch me as the fall creeps in
I wonder when I'll make it
Stopping for the night somewhere
The old hotel Arcada
Displaced streams -
what does it mean to
the forest?
Space dreams -
what do they mean for
the future?
Taller than the trees
We're basically all green
Rescued from defeat
by the basic way of things
Tuned up, held up, knocked out easy
Space dreams -
what do they mean for
the future?
Based dreams -
what do you mean you're
the future?
Stuck behind the scenes
We can form a team
Wicked warriors grown up on bites and bore
Wear the uniforms but desert the war
Try not to...
Try not to understand it
Too young to choose
Still want to be a bird, cut loose
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live, we'll live again
In a time when you want it
It's all, it's all, it's all in your head
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live
In your head
Put your life on hold
For now, we never get old
Spending father's cash on Moroccan hash
Try not to...
Try not to understand it
Too young to choose
Still want to be a bird, cut loose
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live, we'll live again
In a time when you want it
It's all, it's all, it's all in your head
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live
In your head, in your head, in your head
Try not to...
Try not to understand it
Too young to choose
Still want to be a bird, cut loose
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live, we'll live again
In a time when you want it
It's all, it's all, it's all in your head
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live, we'll live again
In a time when you want it
It's all, it's all, it's all in your head
Don't mind the future
We'll live, we'll live, we'll live
So you think you’ll last forever,
To avoid the slaughter you must be clever,
Want immortality and eternal youth,
Bullshit you must learn the truth,
Head blindly to the horizon,
Stray from the path and take some poison,
Your chances gone you’re gonna die,
Sit back and enjoy the ride
I can see the future,
This is the future,
I can see the future,
And in the future you’re nothing baby
Dead and buried, dead and gone,
Don’t drag the river don’t wait too long,
Yesterday ain’t coming back,
Or are your chances to attack,
The past is nice but it’s just a lie,
You might as well lay down and die,
All you’ve got is tomorrow and what’s in your fist,
If you’re lucky I’ll put you on my list
I can see the future,
This is the future,
I can see the future,
And in the future you’re nothing baby
This is the future
This is the future
I can see the future,
This is the future,
I can see the future,
This is the future
I can see the future,
I can see the future,
I can see the future,
