Lyrics

Future

Mambo, Huncho

Not everyone is coming to the future Not everyone is learning from the past Not everyone can come into the future Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last)

Not everyone is coming to the future Not everyone is learning from the past Not everyone can come into the future Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last)

You ain't woke Come here woke and hear the broken Come give hope, come give life Only get one, so we gotta live it right (gotta live it right)

Come make peace, oh Come to pick an inspiration Come complete you Advice, positive vibes (positive vibes) Open your mind (open your mind) Open your eyes (open your eyes) Yeah (yeah)

Not everyone is coming to the future Not everyone is learning from the past Not everyone can come into the future Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last)

Not everyone is coming to the future Not everyone is learning from the past Not everyone can come into the future Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last)

To the future Past (fast) Future (no, don't) Last

I hope you know (know) My life is gold (gold) I drip that ice (ice) I see the signs (signs) Just free your mind (free)

Welcome to the future, it's a culture ride (ride) Too much pain inside It's a override (yeah, yeah) You've been puttin' too much time tryin' to survive (tryin') Don't like the person in your class, so you let 'em die L-l-let your light shine (yeah, yeah)

Not everyone is coming to the future (no) Not everyone is learning from the past (past) Not everyone can come into the future (to the future, no) Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last, last)

Not everyone is coming to the future (to the future, no) Not everyone is coming from the past (past, from the past) Not everyone can come into the future (to the future, no) Not everyone that's here is gonna last (gonna last, last)
