This is just a rhyme about the pressures of getting good grades and a little bit about america.
"Future"
Written by WILL IS ILL (Mike)
It all started in about sixth grade
When C's and B's were the grades i made
Thats good to some and bad to others
Good enough for me but not for my mother
My mom was the good cop and told me to try
When iy was my dad that got pissed and made me cry
Every new marking period, I'd love but it was bad
Another one down, but anothre report for my dad
I did all i could to avoid him
Hid and made the lights real dim
Just to get away so i wouldnt get yelled at
But he always lectured while i just sat
And thought how i can make this go faster next time
Why does he care so much? Its not his life its mine
(Chorus)
Better Start learning and tryin
Insted of sayin i did it when i was just liein
This is what matters the most in my life
Good thing im strong and impenetrable to the knife
I know God helped me through
Casue without him i wouldnt know what to do
All through my middle school career
A talk from my dad was all i would hear
Same exact talk i'd hear over and over
I wanna get away and find a four leaf clover
Cause i need some luck in my life with my grades
Im playin life in poker, all i got is a jack, four, eight and a three of spades
Which means i lose and life wins
I wish i could do it all over and not commit those sins
Id be a straight A loser like i was in MD
Before i gained some popularity
Its funny how desisions can change who you'll be
Cause i got to get my life in order and i got to get some money
If my futures the sky its not lookin too sunny
Chorus
Doin all i can to get a good grade
Im goin to extra help like every day
Casue high school is tuff, thats no lie
Sometimes i wonder how i get by
In the future causse you cant live off mediocre
What would i do if my dad had a stroker'er,
Got cancer? Cause i live in the United States of Money
Our ways to the world look pretty damn funny
Cause its so ridiculas, only savin lives for cash
Costs me 60 bucks to have the doc check out a rash
Now thats crazy, we gotta get our priorites straight
Looks like livin a life of poverty will be my fate
The best job ill get will be to clean a pool
I better get good at beggin cause im not gonna make it outta high school
Chorus (x2)
