Got a smart mouth for you dumb-dumbs
He say he tired of these bitches, now he want one
Kitty in your mouth, got your tongue, tongue
You know I'm one of a kind, get that one of one
He say, "I don't play 'bout what's mine"
I'm not a psychic, I can't read your mind
If you with it, don't waste my time
If you with it, don't waste my time

Give me love with it, never done with it
Finger in your face, tellin' you to come get it
It's levels to a bad bitch, you gotta come different
He used to the same so I gotta show him different
Anything you want, you could say and I'm with it
You know I got that yummy-yummy-yummy, come lick it (yeah)
You know you in love with it, never done with it
Finger in your face, tellin' you to come get it (come get it)

I can see the future
I can see the future
And it looks like you and I
And it looks like you and I, oh
I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
And it feels like paradise
And it feels like paradise, oh

Baby, all up on me, ignore 'em, they all spam
Face is picture-perfect, the body is on ten
I don't argue with these bitches, they petty, they all fans
I got drip from next season, exclusive or custom
It's a cold world, I'm smothered in Moncler
What you see in me it's not her and it's not fair
I got money like the boys, I pull up, they all stare
They like, "Who that slim baddie, with all of the long hair?"

He say, "I don't play 'bout what's mine"
I'm not a psychic, I can't read your mind
If you with it, don't waste my time
If you with it, don't waste my time
Give me love with it, never done with it
Finger in your face, tellin' you to come get it
It's levels to a bad bitch, you gotta come different
He used to the same so I gotta show him different

I can see the future
I can see the future
And it looks like you and I
And it looks like you and I, oh
I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
And it feels like paradise
And it feels like paradise, oh

Down
Get ready for love (get ready for love)
Get ready for me (get ready for me)
I've made up my mind (I've made up my mind)
I want you to myself (to myself)
Get ready for love (get ready for love)
Get ready for me (get ready for me)
I'll make you worthwhile (I'll make you worthwhile)

I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
I can see the future (oh I, oh I)
And it looks like you and I
And it looks like you and I, oh (you and I, oh)
(Oh I, oh I)
(Oh I, oh I, oh)
And it feels like paradise
And it feels like paradise

Overall Meaning

Tinashe's song "I Can See the Future" is about a confident and powerful woman who knows what she wants and will not waste her time on anyone who is not ready to give her the love and respect she deserves. The opening line, "New level unlocked," serves as a declaration of her growth and progress in life. She sets the tone for the rest of the song by asserting her dominance over anyone who doubts her worth or capabilities.


The chorus, "I can see the future, and it looks like you and I / And it feels like paradise," indicates her optimistic outlook towards the future, specifically with the person she is addressing. She envisions a future with this person where they are happy together and in love. However, she also warns that to be with her, one must be willing to come correct because there are "levels to a bad bitch." She knows her worth and will not tolerate anyone who does not treat her accordingly.
