Worried About the Future

(Intro)
CipherMusicGroup

(Verse 1)
The future you never can know gotta watch how life will unfold,
Try to plan it ahead if you’re bold but don’t be surprised if you stray off the road,
There’s twist and turns each where you go and things never follow a flow,
Only thing that remains your own are your goals and your soul,
Men relinquish control after they do the best that they know then let go,
Out of your hold, you’d freeze if not, this world’s so cold,
This I’ve been shown in my own home I’ve seen the worst thing go on,
Mama pointin’ guns at my old man’s dome,
My brother getting beat for a cause unknown,
Through that and more I’ve made 20 years old,
I feel like I’m standing at a fucking crossroads,
I’m unsure how this rap thing’ll go not many cats ever make it outta Monroe,
I’ve worked this hard but don’t think I’ll blow,
I’ve come so far but so farther to go,
I’ve planted this seed can’t meet its needs can’t water it no more,
How will it grow?

(Chorus)
I’m worried, worried, worried about the future,
Where the only thing that’s certain is a pinebox and they’ll suit ya,
I’m worried, worried, worried about the future,
Where the only thing that’s certain is a pinebox and they’ll suit ya,

(Verse 2)
Everyday my life feels so uncertain,
No job, naw I’m not working,
College debt… lost scholarships… so I don’t know if I’ll be returning,
I coulda been a better student- more into it- a better person,
Need a 2.5… I’m 2.4… that fact is hurting,
And I’m not re-learning using the digiscale for weed serving,
If I hustle ever again I’m goin’ in: coke or heroin,
(It’s gonna get you)
Yea I know it will in the end but I’m in a lose-lose situation tryna churn out a win,
And all the while balancing music and keeping my girlfriend,
But I feel like she’s gonna get lost too in this whole drama whirlwind,
Where does it end? I don’t know when! I just know where it begins,
It starts with me and ends with me but what happens next I cannot pen

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
I can’t peep around corners when I’m down the block of the street, I just gotta
Keep walking and hope the fate is pleasant I meet,
If life is really bitter then sweet and that cycle constantly repeats,
Then pray that Top is in a transition from where he stands on his feet,
‘Cause I can’t stand to be here no longer,
They say I keep getting stronger,
‘Cause I survived things that’ll harm ya that could make some folks a goner,
But I feel like I’m ‘bout to falter,
My situation must alter before I hit these streets harder,
Then they gotta come chalk ya. You should be

(Chorus)

(Outro)
Yea. If my future’s unclear yours is looking real foggy too, homeboy. Top Billion CMG, man. I wake up stressed but I’m out to get it, you know. 2011 I’m goin’ for mine. Write my Wrongs you know what it is. All my haters should be… Come fuck with me and they’ll have to… Ha! You know what. Man, I’m out here to get it.
