Dead Prez - “Take Me To The Future” Dead Prez lyrics

[Intro: Stic.Man (Computer)] Computer (Where would you like to go?) Take me to the future [Hook: Martin Luther] Take me to the future, take me to a better place To another time in space, than here Take me to the future, future for the human race Tell me what does it take, to get there I'm ready for change, I'm hungry for change I'm asking for change, I'm willing to change I'm ready for change, I'm searching for change I'm looking for change, I'm willing to change And I don't what it's gonna be like But I believe that the future's bright I take a few more steps towards it today Our generation gotta leave it's mark Be our own light because the world's so dark I know it's hard to say goodbye to yesterday But take me to the future, take me to a better place To another time in space, than here Take me to the future, future for the human race Tell me what does it take, to get there I'm ready... [Verse 1: Stic.Man (Computer)] I want change I could live in, not just to believe in You know these politicians, they change with the seasons I'm starting with the man in the mirror, my vision getting clearer Feel like I'm at the dawn of a new era I see a free world with no more police terror A foundation I could pa** on to E Twella I look ahead to when their system is dead When everybody in the hood is sheltered and fed A black and brown real life heaven on earth Where the last shall be first and your work is your worth I've never been free so I can only imagine what it'd look like But I know we need it with a pa**ion, the good life I ain't got to live in no mansion To me being wealthy is being free and healthy Power in the hands of the people, not the state I'm so ready, how much longer? I can't wait Can't Wait [x6] (Almost there) [Hook] Take me to the future, take me to a better place To another time in space, than here Take me to the future, future for the human race Tell me what does it take, to get there I'm ready.. [Verse 2: M1] What's your 10-20-30 year plan? If we play it right then we outta here man If we take it light, end of conversation No hesitation, that's the time that we facing Count down to a new beginning We've been losing too long, it's time to start winning On this land with this love and this life that we live If we stand with each other and we fight, we can give The babies something they can dream about, or maybe sing about I'm looking forward to our finest hour Give the babies something they can dream about And maybe sing about I'm looking forward to our finest hour Take me to the future [Hook] Take me to the future, take me to a better place To another time in space, than here Take me to the future, future for the human race Tell me what does it take, to get there I'm ready for change, I'm hungry for change I'm asking for change, I'm willing to change I'm ready for change, I'm searching for change I'm looking for change, I'm willing to change And I don't what it's gonna be like But I believe that the future's bright I take a few more steps towards it today Our generation gotta leave it's mark Be our own light because the world's so dark I know it's hard to say goodbye to yesterday But take me to the future [Computer] The Future Is Now
