I'm tryna know what the future holds, hey But it ain't for you to know I treat myself like the usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know I'm feelin' clear, never losin' hope But it ain't for you to know I treat myself like usual, but it ain't for you to know Sometimes I gotta be dolo alone, just walkin' round Young Gerald, young Charlie Brown Some *** is better to keep to yourself than say it loud Some *** you see and they don't, so I simply jot it down It was written, had the vision as a youth to die, I'll make it here one day My flight to the top, cop a one-way While lookin' out the window of the Subway 16 Slappin' Mac Dre, some of my eyes knew it'd be that way I felt it so clear, it's like I rode a time machine and I saw it I paint the picture and draw it, I fold it up in my wallet Keep it with me everywhere I go, just as a reminder To myself, every time I get discouraged or tired I got greatness inside of me, I go against the grain to the tide of me I've heard it all, nothin' surprises me See, I'm the one, I'm the anomaly But never mind me, I'll just be up over here killin' em' quietly, you know I'm tryna know what the future holds, tryna know But it ain't for you to know, it ain't for you to know I do myself like the usual, I just keep it to myself and keep it movin' But it ain't for you to know, you know My vision clear, never losin' hope But it ain't for you to know I do myself like usual, but it ain't for you to know Yeah, and I heard him say Nothin's ever promised tomorrow today From the bay, like 40 and Dre So I'ma do it in a magic way I said, I heard him say Nothin's ever promised tomorrow today From the bay, like 40 and Dre Chasin' dreams is the only way I'm still here, remember these lyrics And when I'm dead and gone, I'll be there in spirit Don't let em' run my name in the mud, don't let em' smear it Just pour some Rossi out, go ahead and tear it One of a kind, no copy Tell your grandchildren, children, about me Tell em' I was the illest Let em' know I spit the realest Went from pennies and nickels to large amounts Kept it in the hood where it counts Never was them, always was him Had to prove myself time and time again Just when they thought it was it, what happened? He back with another hit We brought the bait to the rest of the world Who was it? E-40 and Jerm I'm tryna know what the future holds, hey But it ain't for you to know Into myself like the usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know I'm thinkin' clear, never losin' hope But it ain't for you to know Into myself like usual But it ain't for you to know So where I go from here? I did the most you could possibly pack into a year And I can either fall off or completely disappear Or I can move up to the highest tier Conversations with Gerald, standin' in front the mirror Ask myself like, what you really fear? We all wanna be understood, hope they hear us clear Well, that never happens everywhere, yeah So I just do me on my world Ride through the town, listenin' to Earl's We tryna lift the bay up, could probably curl it I learn from the legends, they tell me you're it So always maintain and try to stay sane And just do you, give a what they say We artists all alike feel the same pain You want the whole world, you want the same thing I'm tryna know what the future holds, yeah But it ain't for you to know Into myself like the usual, yeah But it ain't for you to know I'm thinkin' clear, never losin' hope But it ain't for you to know Into myself like usual But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know I'm thinkin' clear, never losin' hope But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know But it ain't for you to know
