I'm Beamin'

[Intro]

Today, nobody cares

But tomorrow, they will, they will

Today, nobody cares

But, oh, tomorrow, they will, they will

[Hook]

They said my future was dark, see me now

Just look around, I'm beaming

(We are)

They used to talk, when I wasn't around

(Lasers)

You see me now

(We're not)

I'm beaming

(Losers)

[Verse 1]

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't injure me

I know that irritates, you have my sympathies

Well you should protest, yeah you should picket me

I'm on a losing strike, I'm on a winning streak

I'm out in left field, I'm speaking mentally

But that's a better place than where the benches be

I'm feeling really good, me and my different beat

Me and my different drummer; he play the timpanis

See that's what got me here, you hearing me

Me on my "black man in the future" shit, call me Billy Dee

See I'm just forward looking, that's how I really see

See while you Valentines, I'm thinking Christmas trees

And that's how this would be, even at Micky D's

Semi-colon, closed parentheses

[Hook]

They said my future was dark, see me now

Just look around, I'm beaming

They used to talk, when I wasn't around

You see me now, I'm beaming

[Verse 2]

Do you remember me, the guy from verse one

Failure's my last name, Never's my first one

You see I hood a lot, and yeah I nerd some

Hood's where the heart is, nerd's where the words from

Don't represent either because I merged them

It's kids who wanna leave, and I encourage them

Go out and see the world, never return from

Yeah you don't come back unless you learned some

And baby girl what does it matter where your purse from

Your hair done, your nails did, your ass fat, but you're dumb

Mix Melissa Ford with Maya Angelou

Become a top model and Sojourner too

I try to follow this, what Muhammad do

It's such an old soul, inside this sonic youth

It's why I'm Ferrari'd up, and I'm conscious too

I don't prophesize, I promise you

[Hook]

They said my future was dark, see me now

Just look around, I'm beaming

They used to talk, when I wasn't around

(Lasers)

You see me now, I'm beaming

[Verse 3]

Yeah it's me again, the guy from verse two

Well this the last one, it's almost curfew

It's almost night out, so turn ya lights on

Where all my 760s with ya 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 crying songs

Now the world shoulders is what I'm crying on

The world's fast lane is what I'm driving on

What am I driving at, I'm trying to drive it home

I'm in the drivers seat, but you can ride along

It's never cyclops, it's never I alone

I'm telling your story wherever I perform

Now if they looking for me, you tell 'em I've gone

Out in the bright lights, right where I belong

[Hook]

They said my future was dark, see me now

Just look around, I'm beaming

They used to talk, when I wasn't around

You see me now, I'm beaming
