Lyrics Letter To The Future - Heavy D & The Boyz
Intro
(spoken):
People,
The
world
today
is
in
a
very
difficult
situation,
And
we
all
know
it,
Because
we′re
the
ones
who
created
it.
Chorus:
What's
wrong
with
our
future?
(4x)
Verse
One:
Bust
this
How
long
will
this
last?
A
friend
to
the
end,
a
memory
in
the
past
You
think
you′re
big,
cause
you
walk
with
a
shotgun
I
got
new
for
you,
your
days
are
numbered,
son
Why
don't
you
get
yourself
a
job?
When
your
kid
grows
up,
do
you
want
him
to
rob?
Look
at
your
mother,
teardrops
She
just
received
a
phone-call
from
the
cops
"Your
son
will
do
life,
'cause
he
wigged
a
man′s
wife
Shot
her
with
a
gun
and
stabbed
her
with
a
knife.",
or
Take
a
look
at
your
mother′s
heart
torn
She
just
received
a
phone-call
from
the
morgue
"Your
son
is
dead
from
three
shots
to
the
head.
The
killer
left
a
note
and
this
is
what
the
note
said:
"Never
be
bigger
than
you
are.
Never
try
to
pose
like
you're
a
superstar
Next
time
you
rob
somebody,
and
you
give
him
the
death-wish.
When
you
pull
the
trigger,
nigga,
don′t
miss."
Is
this
how
you
wanna
be
Dead
on
the
street
or
locked
in
a
penetentiary?
It's
cool
to
be
free
And
it′s
alright
for
you
to
be
you
and
for
me
to
be
me
Look
at
you,
15
years
old
Coolin
on
the
corner
with
a
can
of
Old
Gold
Whatever
happened
to
school?
Yeah,
sure
you
go
to
school,
but
you
go
to
be
cool
To
sport
sneakers
that
you
took
from
somebody
To
talk
about
the
kid
that
you
bucked
at
some
party
Life
is
a
gamble,
and
you're
losin
Before
it′s
too
late,
brother,
you
better
start
choosin
Left
from
right,
right
from
wrong
Or
you'll
be
singin
that
old
blues
song
(Yo,
you
gotta
buck
em,
or
else
you're
soft)
Some
I
knew
thought
the
same,
now
they′re
way
up
North
You
ain′t
soft,
cause
you
didn't
buck
a
shot
Put
the
pistol
down,
throw
up
your
hands,
see
what
ya
got
Old
Johnny
Walker
from
around
the
block
Was
livin′
rather
large
'till
he
got
knocked
He
had
"Livin′
Large"
on
his
Jeep
plates
"Livin'
Large"
on
his
real
estate
He
even
bought
a
diamond
"Livin′
Large"
name
plate
He
used
to
look
at
cops
and
smile
in
their
face
Drive
a
BMW
and
pump
the
bass
One
day,
he
made
a
move
for
a
friend
The
f-r-iend,
the
voice
said,
"Yo,
I
need
ten.",
Johnny
said,
"When?"
Later
on
that
day,
Johnny
went
to
play
the
game
he
normally
plays
To
do
a
favour
for
a
chum
You
see,
a
friend
is
a
friend,
but
then,
some
are
none
Cause
when
he
got
to
the
spot
they
were
supposed
to
meet
All
he
found
was
a
police-infested
street
I
guess
havin
a
friend
is
rough
Cause
now
Johnny's
up
north,
doin
push-ups,
gettin
buffed
You
see
this
chain
I've
got,
I′ve
got
it,
honestly
You
see
the
clothes
I
wear,
I′ve
got
it,
honestly
You
see
the
Jeep
I
drive,
I've
got
it,
honestly
I
work
hard,
it
ain′t
easy
being
me
Never
had
an
excuse
for
life
Just
did
what
I
did,
now
what
I
do,
I
do
it
right
"Jumbo,
Jumbo",
they
cry
on
the
block.
5.0,
5.0,
lay
low,
here
comes
the
cops
Man,
your
lifestyle
is
petro
On
your
knees
again,
because
Jumbo
said
so
"Free
Mandela",
you
cried
But
you
still
sell
dope
to
brothers
and
sisters
outside
Martin
Luther
King
had
a
dream
(ooh
yeah)
That's
exactly
what
turned
his
dream
into
a
nightmare
Malcolm
X
said,
"By
any
means
necessary."
He
didn′t
mean
just
for
you,
brother,
he
meant
for
everybody
Maybe
if
we
were
still
slaves,
we'll
be
closer;
however
Pickin
cotton
was
bad,
but
we
picked
it
together
I
pray
for
you,
and
you
pray
for
me
Sincerely
yours,
the
overweight
lover,
Heavy
D
Repeat
chorus

end
