[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
