Lyrics:
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%u2019m beamin%u2019
(We are) They used to talk
When I wasnÂ%u2019t around (Lasers)
You see me now (We%u2019re not)
(Losers) I%u2019m beamin%u2019
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%u2019t injure me
I know that irritates, you have my sympathies
Well, you should protest, yeah, you should picket me
I%u2019m on a losing strike, I%u2019m on a winning streak
I%u2019m out in left field, I%u2019m speaking mentally
But that%u2019s a better places than where the benches be
I%u2019m feelin%u2019 really good, me and different beat
Me and my different drummer, he play the timpanis
See, that%u2019s what got me here, you hearin%u2019 me
Me on my black man in the future shit, call me Billy Dee
See, I%u2019m just forward-looking, that%u2019s how I really see
See, while you Valentimes, I%u2019m thinking Christmas trees
And that%u2019s how this would be, even at Mickey D%u2019s
Semicolon, close parentheses
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
They used to talk
When I wasn%u2019t around
You see me now
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
Do you remember me, the guy from verse one?
Failure%u2019s my last name, Never%u2019s my first one
You see I hood a lot, and yeah I nerd some
Hood%u2019s where the heart is, nerd%u2019s where the words from
DonÂ%u2019t represent either, because I merged them
Â%u2018S kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them
Go out and see the world, never return from
Yeah, you don%u2019t 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%u2019re dumb
Mix Melyssa Ford with Maya Angelou
Become a top model and Sojourner too
I try to follow this, what Muhammad do
It%u2019s such a old soul inside the sonic youth
Swear I%u2019m Ferrari%u2019d up, and I%u2019m conscious, too
I donÂ%u2019t prophesize: I promise you
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
They used to talk
When I wasn%u2019t around (Lasers)
You see me now (Ha)
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
Yeah, it%u2019s me again, the guy from verse two
Well, this the last one, it%u2019s almost curfew
It%u2019s 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%u2019 songs
Now the world%u2019s shoulders is what we cryinÂ%u2019 on
The world%u2019s fast lane is what I%u2019m drivin%u2019 on
What am I driving at? I%u2019m tryna drive it home
I%u2019m in the driver%u2019s seat, but you can ride along
%u2018Cause never cyclops, it%u2019s never I alone
I%u2019m tellin%u2019 your story wherever I perform
Now if they lookin%u2019 for me, tell %u2018em I%u2019ve gone
Out in the bright lights, right where I belong
They said my future was dark
You see me now?
Just look around
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
They used to talk
When I wasn%u2019t around
You see me now
I%u2019m beamin%u2019
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
