The Future

You ask me all the time Keep on asking me bout where my future lies But I've been looking at the prize And not the way on how I'm gonna get there It's all up in the air right now I couldn't tell you where I would apply Obviously I try I just don't make it clear to you what I want to do in life He lays in bed at night I tell him not to check the monsters under the bed The question remains did he listen to me Or is gonna check again once I've left Time's so strange the way it passes You try to live it at your own pace and never can I don't understand it I don't understand it So call me again, again, again, again, again You ask me all the time Keep on asking me bout where my future lies But I've been looking at the prize And not the way on how I'm gonna get there It's all up in the air right now I couldn't tell you where I would apply Obviously I try I just don't make it clear to you what I want to do in life In my future I'm living with a child and wife Making me feel I can't do nothing wrong, just things I'll do right Politically balanced, I'll split me and girl's families into two different sides Bipartisan awkwardness, and it'll get even worse Somebody brings up the loss of black lives The tension of families Is something that you can't avoid But I don't act up like a fool I just manipulate the people like they're action toys Certain people get so passionate that they just won't shut up And I don't see that changing anytime soon It's conditional love You ask me all the time Keep on asking me bout where my future lies But I've been looking at the prize And not the way on how I'm gonna get there It's all up in the air right now I couldn't tell you where I would apply Obviously I try I just don't make it clear to you what I want to do in life Can we, Can we, Can we Can we, Can we, Can we Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Can we compromise Yeah, oh
