[Verse 1]
It's been a long time since I left my hometown
My home now is here in the U.S
And I don't really seem to know how, I will succeed
At everything people do here is powered by greed
Yo, the road to the top never ends
But people on the way will try to act like they your friends
Only cos they know that you'll make it to the top
Unless you start falling down, son
You realize after not, what they seem to be
Don't mean to be rude, but that's the truth
Look around here closely if you really need some proof
Yo, the youth of today, will be the future of tomorrow
Make sure educate your kids, cos your life is only borrowed
And if you don't, yo trust me, it's gonna hit 'em critically
And if you don't support your kids, I'm telling you specifically
They won't survive in society very long
And neither will their kids cos the cycle carries on
The cycle carries on
[Chorus]
What will you do when tomorrow comes around?
And hits you really hard, and is trying to put you down
Will you give up, or will you stand up and fight?
Cos every human being gets a chance to make things right
What will you do when tomorrow comes around?
And hits you really hard, and is trying to put you down
Will you give up, or will you stand up and fight?
Cos every human being gets a chance to make things right
[Verse 2]
I don't think they get it
Everything I've done, without a doubt, I don't regret it
But forget it, let's keep moving
And I'll talk about the past, cos it seems like it was yesterday
Yo, time really goes fast
I look at what had, and I look at what I have
And this microphone's the only thing I seem to have in common
But you won't ever notice cos you'll never see me frowning
Quite the opposite, fool, you'll always see me clowning
Just enjoying life, pssh I make it look so easy
f** the fancy sh**, it's the simple things please me
I just want to earn enough to live and have a better life
And eventually to care of my future kids' life
Truthfully speaking, the world doesn't need emcees
That's why I played it safe, and i'ma go get my degree
So that when I have kid, he can see the way I see
And build upon the visions that were really meant for me
Were really meant for me
[Chorus]
What will you do when tomorrow comes around?
And hits you really hard, and is trying to put you down
Will you give up, or will you stand up and fight?
Cos every human being gets a chance to make things right
What will you do when tomorrow comes around?
And hits you really hard, and is trying to put you down
Will you give up, or will you stand up and fight?
Cos every human being gets a chance to make things right
