Today, nobody cares 

But tomorrow they will, they will 

Today, nobody cares 

But, oh, tomorrow they will, they will 



They said my future was dark 

You see me now? 

Just look around 

I'm beamin' 



(We are) They used to talk 

When I wasn't around (Lasers) 

You see me now (We're not) 

(Losers) I'm beamin' 



I get my energy from my inner G 

I be in outer space, but I got inner peace 

So tell my enemies that they can't injure me 

I know that irritates, you have my sympathies 

Well, you should protest, yeah, you should picket me 

I'm on a losing strike, I'm on a winning streak 

I'm out in left field, I'm speaking mentally 

But that's a better places than where the benches be 

I'm feelin' really good, me and different beat 

Me and my different drummer, he play the timpanis 

See, that's what got me here, you hearin' me 

Me on my black man in the future shit, call me Billy Dee 

See, I'm just forward-looking, that's how I really see 

See, while you Valentimes, I'm thinking Christmas trees 

And that's how this would be, even at Mickey D's 

Semicolon, close parentheses 



They said my future was dark 

You see me now? 

Just look around 

I'm beamin' 



They used to talk 

When I wasn't around 

You see me now 

I'm beamin' 



Do you remember me, the guy from verse one? 

Failure's my last name, Never's my first one 

You see I hood a lot, and yeah I nerd some 

Hood's where the heart is, nerd's where the words from 

Don't represent either, because I merged them 

'S kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them 

Go out and see the world, never return from 

Yeah, you don't come back, unless you learn some 

And baby girl, what does it matter where your purse from? 

Your hurr done, your nails did, your ass fat, but you're dumb 

Mix Melyssa Ford with Maya Angelou 

Become a top model and Sojourner too 

I try to follow this, what Muhammad do 

It's such a old soul inside the sonic youth 

Swear I'm Ferrari'd up, and I'm conscious, too 

I don't prophesize... I promise you 



They said my future was dark 

You see me now? 

Just look around 

I'm beamin' 



They used to talk 

When I wasn't around (Lasers) 

You see me now (Ha) 

I'm beamin' 



Yeah, it's me again, the guy from verse two 

Well, this the last one, it's almost curfew 

It's almost night out, so turn your lights on 

Where all my 760s, witcha brights on? 

Yeah, they are the ones to keep your eyes on 

Like how we used to do, to keep the house warm 

Now those the type of eyes, I not cry from 

You see the tears of fire run out my cryin' songs 

Now the world's shoulders is what we cryin' on 

The world's fast lane is what I'm drivin' on 

What am I driving at? I'm tryna drive it home 

I'm in the driver's seat, but you can ride along 

'Cause never cyclops, it's never I alone 

I'm tellin' your story wherever I perform 

Now if they lookin' for me, tell 'em I've gone 

Out in the bright lights, right where I belong 



They said my future was dark 

You see me now? 

Just look around 

I'm beamin' 



They used to talk 

When I wasn't around 

You see me now 

I'm beamin'
