Future - Ray Hummingbird, Journalist 103

Yeah

We gotta try to make this world a better place for these babies man

You know

Let me explain

Yo

Children of the future, right?

Indeed it’s deep

Ten seeds with ten needs a piece I need a priest

To give me blessings or, even, better than that

I’ll probably murder the cat for being sicker than me

Be that it be, I gave you extra life

Don’t be like your old man that was dumb in life

Looking back, at the time your mom cried every night

Used to be she’s no longer my wife

Grabbing the mic, I strike with an intention to shed light

Pray you don’t go astray just to keep your head right

Calling Allah when the world is hitting you hard

Never lose faith, he got you with no regards

There’s no limit to your process

As long as you, study and progress, have faith, you got next

As I struggle for these checks for your independence

So you’re never dependent upon a crooked system

How you doin' son, pull up a seat

It’s 'bout time that I schooled you on the birds and the bees

And exactly what happened with your mother and me

And the reason why we couldn’t make it as a family, you see

I think my man Dre said it the best

«Why planning for a family not knowing what to expect?»

You’re a blessing but never the less

There’s no ease without hardship, don’t mean you gotta settle for stress

I really did love your mother, Lord knows I tried

I can count on many nights how your old man cried

When she took you a part of me died

Firstborn of us both, begin a chapter for both of our lives

You the chance for us to make things right, a new lead on life

But for granted’s how we taking your life

I’m just glad that we made it alright

So now we both are witnessing you prevail through these hurdles of life
