The Future
We both thought that we were going to last
But who can really predict the future?
We both came from pasts that had
Made us both look at the world
In a different way
Lost souls
But somehow we found each other
And when we did
We held on tight
Like a little kid at night
With their favorite blanket
Your brother never made it home to tuck in his daughter's blanket
Remember you promised that nothing would ever happen to you?
Not to worry, cause everything was all alright?
You promised me
Don't you remember?
And when Kevin got shot too
I had a feeling that
Your promise wasn't going to last
I told you to quit the life you were living
But you were
Too wrapped up in the streets
To listen to me
Too naive to not look at what path your brothers took
Cause if you did
You'd have seen the destination
Was the same all along
You were my baby
Don't you remember?
I was your shawty
Don't you remember?
We both thought that we were going to last
But who can really predict the future?
