Future
Future - Where Ya At Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No longer can I remain earthbound
The future is now
Time and space are one in the same

Enough time and space and we running the game
Almost is unacceptable
The cosmos is a receptacle
For the spectacle of my ascension

Inhabiting multiple dimensions of perspective
All my actions selective
At all costs, I must obtain the objective
Regain the inception intended at the conception

A living lethal weapon
I'm the natural selection
Moving in my own eccentric orbit
A rebel amongst conformists

So far gone, you might catch me on Pluto
Four billion miles away
Do a whole week in one day
Live for keeping it real

You already know what it is
I rather ever speak without something to say

But if you can't remember the who, what, when, or the how
Remember one thing I said, the future is now
