the future ft. Timestretch & Hezekiah Lyrics

We’ve gotta to let our seeds, grow

And bask in your sun rays

The children are our future

(Let ‘em know) And I got my future to raise

Oh baby forgive me, no, is something I

Never say, as long as I’ve got you

As long as you’ve got me,

Don’t be afraid

Two days after her mom’s date of birth, she made it to this Earth my first, child born, from now on I’m responsible for another mouth to feed in my household, keep a roof over, gotta feed her, clothe her time flies from the first day I was able to hold her feelin’ like I got a four leaf clover my luck rose up, was young minded when I got with Kila now I’ve grown up, every moment is timeless watching our daughter grow up, proud father prayin’ to askin’ our father for a better bond than the one with me and my father I’d be content with that if it’s somethin’ that I accomplish, child without a dad is an epidemic to conquer, inspired by Ed O.G. when I wrote this, about bein’ a father to your child now the realest ones quote this

We’ve gotta to let our seeds, grow

And bask in your sun rays

The children are our future

(Let ‘em know) And I got my future to raise

Oh baby forgive me, no, is something I

Never say, as long as I’ve got you

As long as you’ve got me,

Don’t be afraid

Call me selfish but, I pro’ly won’t be excited about your first date, or when you move into your first place and call it home, damn, where has the time gone? You just arrived in August 2012 and I was mind blown, spittin’ image of your old Earth it’s - life with a soul purpose it’s so worth it, yet I was so nervous about bein’ a dad in fact was quite nervous while writin’ this verse tryin’ to find perfect - words to merge together across paper when you listen later you’ll see your daddy was motivated, as long as I am able I’m puttin’ food on that table I promised my momma, yo’ momma and her momma I’d make it, circumstances in life make you a risk taker, you deal with situations that either make ya or break ya, everyday is school its room for education, new generations it still take a village to raise ‘em (I’m sayin’)

We’ve gotta to let our seeds, grow

And bask in your sun rays

The children are our future

(Let ‘em know) And I got my future to raise

Oh baby forgive me, no, is something I

Never say, as long as I’ve got you

As long as you’ve got me,

Don’t be afraid

……

…..

As long as you’ve got me,

Don’t be afraid

As long as you’ve got me,

Don’t be afraid
