Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

You don't ever know, never know, never know when it's your time
Trying to predict the future's just a waste of time
Don't wake up one day and half your life has passed you by
Don't die, inside you're not dead yet, you're still alive, alive

All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

Fear's crippling, it's a man made thought put in our heads
Invading our thoughts, holding our dreams hostages
Take a walk out on this limb, and even if chances are slim
You won't die before you hit the ground, you fly, you gotta fly

All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

Sounds of tomorrow, borrow time for the day
Play in my head, I lay in the bed
Weighing what's said by the masses
They say we go from dust to ashes
Created from clay, on the way to being Cassius
I ask if, I gotta wait to be great
If so the weight is heavy, that's why I'm staying steady
On the grind, aligned with the will of the divine
I know the world is changing but I'm still in my mind
Where the peace be, days that greet me
I'm facing the east sea
We facing the beatly, daily and weekly
I pray that he keep me
Somewhere between the pimps and the priests
So the angels can reach me, tomorrow

All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
All you can do is live for today and pray for another
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow

Oh, tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow
Tomorrow, tomorrow

I'm already infatuated with Glasper's Experiment and Trio, but to listen to this cut and hear that it is just as formidable and lives up to Glasper's challenge to create excellent music, I'm very impressed. I am a pro music student who never stops learning, and even though my operating genre is gospel, THIS is also music I eat and drink daily. So thank you, Derrick, for living up to the standard and creating another project to look up to. I hope to take what I am taking in through your music and translate it to gospel. Will it reach the masses? Stay tuned.

Love this bass player!

AZUbius

This version is slightly different from the actual album version, and I must say this version is my favourite. It must be a refined studio reference version

J B

This is different to the version released on the album... unless they re-tracked the bass for the LP... that awesome bass lick at 2:37 is missing !!!

J Butler

They did a different cut. A lot of things are different

Jordan s

elnuffio facts!!! Definitely different keys

Jordan s

J B most definitely bro , 3:44 is missing on the album too ...

+Jamie B This is almost definitely an earlier version, the keys are a bit different too. The whole bassline sounds more staccato than the album version...

I'm sure you could get a similar sound with enough experimentation, they don't have to say Chris Dave on them. I reckon an ozone/efx on the bottom, zildjian A custom on top? Not sure, easy enough to try out though.

John Hobley II

😎 cool 😎

Just thought I should mention theres 37,000 Views and 370 thumbs ups, not a single thumbs down. Is there such a thing as coincidence?

where did you hear that out his own mouth? I only heared in an interview that he just asked Sabian for cracked cymbals, but send back new ones? Never heared of that.

Dino Greene

Very Nice Post!!!

chris dave said out his own mouth, sabian would send him brand new unused newly packaged top of the line cymbals and hats and he would send them back and call them up and ask them to send him any old broken beat up cymbals that they might have laying around… maybe thats the best way to go, buy old stuff…

Ron Fleming

Those would be Chris Dave's prototype hats. You not gonna be able to get those anytime soon ...

leslie davis

@Fresh491973 I have to wholeheartedly agree about your Mint Condition, Roots and RCDC comment. No doubt.

me and my homie switch off between guitar and drums in a jazz band so we use a random 16 inch zildian crash with a crack an three holes drilled in to the crack to keep it from spreading and a random dull no name 16 inch 20+ year old crash for our hi hat set up… very heavy hitting vintage sound coming from that set up. (youtube or google "Zzajj Band socal showcase to hear it) now playing the little 13,14 inch hats crisp high end hats just dont feel right no more
