j coyn drive & payden mcknight - present vs. future lyrics
[verse: j coyn drive & payden mcknight]
yeah, uh
it’s been a long time coming man
lot of years ahead of us, that we working to understand
thought i knew what i was doing but it didn’t fit the plan
now i’m tryna bounce back from what got out of my hands
been a long time since, but i learned great things
bout myself and the man that i know i wanna be
with my dream, ain’t gone hesitate a minute
cause i know i’m living in it, pushing forward to the finish, lets go
let’s go
i’m so glad that i found my brother, man
this connection that we made is proof of everything we can
cause i got people all the time like d+mn
i’m not rockin’ with payden. he isn’t capable to make a stand
but i, got homies staying true
so i can not tread on all the people who make my days blue
so i’m learning to be thankful for these days, too
god gave me this talent, now jake too
what we been through, ain’t nothing to cry about
now we moving on, pushing for another route
i’m not saying life ain’t been hard
but we gotta move forward, no more putting up a guard
on god, i’ma live it now like it never mattered
making our way out of the dark climbing like a ladder
we ain’t gotta break down, like we out of power
cause we heading for the top like we on a tower
when i claim a bigger life, i will reach up for my time
and i ain’t finna lie, i’ve been seeking for my mind
so i paint thinner lines, i’ve been peeking at the prize
i ain’t peaking in my life, but i’m reaching for the hype
cause i miss when i was hyped up
but doing it alone is wasting all the time up
i’ve been lacking close friends, but now my tears are dried up
i’ve been lockin’ in with all the island, so now we even more fired up
keep it flowing, knowing this is our time
i remember being young and always looking for the signs
didn’t tap in to the power that i had in my mind
write the future like a story unfolding to the divine’s
what we doin, and what we pursuing
living my life in the moment, never slowing keeping it moving
and they will not defy what i’m doing on the fly
man we doing this for freedom and we doing it for life
i see myself right now compared to two years prior
i can’t believe all the water boiled straight into fire
the more i think about it, two years from now, i’ll be even higher
and two years from that success will be required
i don’t see a life where music isn’t in my soul
writing lyrics every minute in my mind, cause the pencil dull
and the melodies keep rising from my hands, like a bread roll
so i’m not finna die without a story to be told
i’ve been seeking insight, i been looking for the light
pushing for a better life, it’s the reason that we write
looking way up to the sky, seeing visions of the prime
finding peace in the rhymes, putting everything aside
that’s why we down for the ride, tryna make it out alive
cause we living when it’s wild, but we on the other side of it
they don’t love it, but we be staying above it
we’ll be keeping it real with the passion, never frontin’
right now, i’ve been listening to my influences
ten years from now, this music they’ll be using it
twenty years from now, my kids will be amused of it
thirty years from now, will show that i was proving it
they gon look back at this, this the beginning
eighteen years old, already showing that we winning
when it’s all said and done, the universe has ended
payden and jake, the best duo ever existed
[outro: payden mcknight & j coyn drive (both)]
pay+pay+payden and jake, the best duo ever existed
living in the present, cause the future right now
can’t believe+, can’t believe+, all the water+, into fire
when it’s all said and done
it’s been a long time comin’ man, comin’ man, man
when it’s all said and done
two years from now, i’ll be even higher, even higher, even higher
gotta move forward, no more putting up a gaurd on god (god!)
ooh, ooh, ooh+ooh
this is our time, this is, this is our time
yeah, four dollar, forty cent
now i turn it into passion everytime i hit the mic
late knight drive
