Dear Future

Dropped a dime I dropped an ounce
Dropped a pound I dropped the town
Epidemic, I'm on that Galaxy yeah
I ain't going back cause I've been to hell
I ain't going back cause that shit is real
When you getting whipped and you getting sick
Rolling blackouts, now ain't that shit
Or is it
I gotta lay some prose for those
That still making stacks under the government's nose
It ain't that glamorous but who knows
You might make it big before ya pants hit the floor
Take it from me, I'm an adult
Living that life doesn't last when you're old
When you grow up you going to see
That those 10 years, fuck no, they weren't free

It takes a week to form a habit A lifetime to break it
My mom's is at the door but she ain't about to break in
A week to form a habit and you getting close to breaking
My mom's is at the door ain't about the life I'm making

I been in the hood, been in the street
Bent over walls, been up the creek
Did my time and searched to the feet
It's sad to say, I admitted defeat
Fuck the system that I lived in
And fuck the system that we living
Making a change is no difference
Get out of Dodge if you living
Fighting for peace, contradiction
Living to die is my mission
Working two jobs, an addiction
Always was highest off prescription
Never made cash that wasn't spent
Remember the past, hellbent
Had my bad bitches, content
But now I just pitch a tent

It takes a week to form a habit A lifetime to break it
My mom's is at the door but she ain't about to break in
A week to form a habit and you getting close to breaking
My mom's is at the door ain't about the life I'm making

I'm here to leave my past in my past to be present for my future
I never had a chance that I didn't pass for couture
I used to take bars, pop caps, never bust back
Never hit a lick but you know me when the car pass
Got fed up with the life I was living
Getting clocked in the head for a bill was a feeling
Never wanted straps but I got one for my safety
Didn't need the clip but I got one for my babies
Not a baby daddy more like a baby nanny
I'm saving for the future so no cash is spent on fanny
It's all about the family, not about the life
I'm shouting fuck the game while I'm carrying a knife
I'm shouting fuck you man while he beating on my brother
Never give a damn what you doing so don't bother
I reconciled time I shoulda spent with my mother
Invested in the future, that ain't my money it's for others

For Big Brother Leo
