Future shock
|
Ooh, hoo
|
|
Hey, little sister
|
Where's your brother
|
See your mother
|
Standing on the soup line
|
|
God bless your father
|
Ain't got the strength
|
To be bothered
|
|
The almighty world
|
Hear me now
|
Whisper on
|
To weigh him down
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
|
We got to stop all men
|
From messing up the land
|
When won't we understand
|
This is our last and only chance
|
Everybody, it's a future shock
|
Future shock, future shock
|
|
Future shock, future shock
|
|
All worldly figures
|
Playing on niggers
|
Oh, see them passing
|
See how they're dancing
|
To the Superfly
|
|
Oh, ain't it wrong
|
When you don't know
|
Where we come from
|
|
Dancing in our youth
|
Dying at the truth
|
It ain't over
|
(Over, over, ain't over)
|
|
[Repeat CHORUS]
|
|
Future shock, future shock
|
|
The price of the beat
|
Higher than the dope in the street
|
Is it any wonder
|
For those with nothing to eat
|
|
[Repeat CHORUS]
|
|
Future shock, future shock
|
