Future Perfect (Pass the MIC)
Lyrics:
[English]
"Walk the line"
I hate that line
I realized
We ran together
I'll pass the mic
pass the mic
You stay still?
You stay? You stay?
I got pushed, pushed
Swept up
Tagged given & tamed
All passive voices
Kill the past, just get lost
Just get lost, you’re judging who’s worthy?
I’m out of your enclosure, nah
I won’t be a fool no more
I realize it now
Give me that MIC, this is day one
I wanna stand on my own feet
Everything else is meaningless
Bring out my real voice
And draw our future
Shout out together
That moment that moment in our future perfect
Shout out together
You and I, you and I will have become us
Put your hands up (Oh oh oh)
Put em up if you wanna talk (Oh oh oh)
Come on, Come on
Bring it, bring it
I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh
Put your weight on me (Oh oh oh)
Cuz we are rule breaker (Oh oh oh)
Come on, Come on
Bring it, bring it
I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh
Put your hands up
"Walk the line"
I hate that line
I realized
We ran together
I'll pass the mic,
pass the mic
You stay still?
You stay? You stay?
Will to win the days will eventually come
Look at me, no reason to give up
Thanks for all your flak
You helped stoke my myth
"What did you say?"
To that my answer is always “REAL”
I wanna stand on my own feet
Everything else is meaningless
Bring out my real voice
And draw our future
Shout out together
That moment that moment in our future perfect
Shout out together
You and I, you and I will have become us
Put your hands up (Oh oh oh)
Put em up if you wanna talk (Oh oh oh)
Come on, Come on
Bring it, bring it
I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh
Put your weight on me (Oh oh oh)
Cuz we are rule breaker (Oh oh oh)
Come on, Come on
Bring it, bring it
I'll pass the mic, pass the mic, pass the mic oh oh oh
Put your hands up
"Walk the line"
I hate that line
I realized
We ran together
I'll pass the mic,
pass the mic
You stay still?
You stay? You stay?
