The Future
Kirk Knight Lyrics

What if we are shadows
What if our existence is just a mere shadow of ourselves

Like versions of ourselves
Different interpretations of ourselves

What if we fight battles
What if we confront struggles

(?) looking for something else
Looking for something other than what we are fighting for

When you dream, do you dream in colours
Do your dreams exist in vivid and defined color?

You see the world for what it is
Perceiving the world realistically

Empty space, in this time, I'll be fine (If I, If I)
The emptiness around me, but everything will still be okay even if it feels lonely right now

Go back to the future
Returning to the future, going forward

Seen it all, done it all, rise and fall
Having experienced everything, success and failure

Ima still be here in the future
I'll be present and strong in the future

, heaven scented
As though someone caused blessings to shower down

How I was born onto earth
The act of arriving onto earth at birth

Adversary, a provider from God
A nemesis could also be a bringer of good things according to God's plan

I'm sorry to scare you (?)
Apologizing for invoking fear or intimidation

Before I even grown to be 20
Before turning 20 years old

Blessings of adolescence
Good things about adolescence

I made before, fine dimes and pretty pennies
Winning or earning something valuable

Always putting my two cents in
Being opinionated on a subject

So a nigga always watch what they say
Being cautious of what's being said

But on the contrary, a nigga just see what the blend is
Opposite of being vocal and instead observing what's happening

Feeding me happiness through a straw
Receiving superficial happiness

Commissary blessings
Favorable things that come from regular support

But that ain't enough to boost for what I'm going through
Not enough to uplift from hardships

Childhood friends passing away like fresh morning dew
Losing friends at an early age like the dew vanishing in the morning

Every day my mind is laced, strapped up
Dealing with constant thoughts and anxiety

Protection on waists of Rugrats
Young children ready to defend themselves

Tryna find angelic sounds in this place
Looking for beautiful sounds in an otherwise chaotic environment

We shot for the stars, and we ended up with (?)
Aiming high, but only finding something underwhelming

The color blue
The shade of blue

Same shade as the pill I'm now forced to take
The same color as a medication that is mandatory

Screaming lord, take the wheel, hit the emergency brake
Requesting divine intervention in case of danger

Never stop, voices in my head
Continuous thoughts in mind, never ending

If time is off the essence
If time is crucial

Type to take it out of context
Misunderstanding the significance of time

Conflicts with imaginary enemies
Fighting conceptual enemies that don't physically exist

Cold stairs, walking on anything that illuminates fear
Walking on things that cause fear

Battle you with myself
Struggling with inner conflict

Stop trusting every help
Refusing to trust all help

As the lunatic
Being seen as crazy or irrational

And they pray that the night fall
Others hope that night will come to resolve problems

Even the clock got his hand together
The clock is in agreement and aligned

Shade night (?)
Possibly referring to the darkness or mystery of night

Hoping I don't lose it, tho
Wishing to not fall apart or lose control

Need your time of day
Asking for someone's attention or time

I prove it back
Responding to something by proving a point

Mind reaching as high as pollution
Going as far as possible with thoughts like pollution spreads

Roaming as these ruins
Wandering in a devastated place

Out of shape with this hex on me
Being in bad condition with a curse on the artist

And nowadays, I ain't feeling bless on me
Currently, not feeling blessed

Showing you all my hands
Revealing everything about oneself

Nothing on my person tell you ima bluff
Not being dishonest or deceptive

Even on my last breath
Staying persistent even on death's doorstep

Even when I'm out of luck
Not succumbing to misfortune or adversity

Even when my dreams start
Continuing to hope or dream

Even when my time is up
Until the very end

Screaming
Shouting with emotion or desperation
