Before 2000 was the year (this was recorded in 1998/1999), people had hopes for the new millennium, like world peace. This song has that same hope. Unfortunately, that’s not how things went…
[Intro: Teddy Riley & Guy]
Yeah
G-U-Y 2-K-4, yeah
2-0-0-4
[Verse: Teddy Riley & Guy]
In the year 2004 (2-0-0-4)
Life will be like one big party (2-0-0-4)
The sensation of cultural unity (2-0-0-4)
Hatin' is over and there's positivity (2-0-0-4)
This is a new world, some things haven't changed (2-0-0-4)
Yo, a party is a party, no matter what day (2-0-0-4)
There are angels laced in platinum robes (2-0-0-4)
And a Benz is still a Benz, wheels dipped in chrome (2-0-0-4)
The ladies are still fly with futuristic styles (2-0-0-4)
You know flossin' ain't over, it's just computerized (2-0-0-4)
So now, tell me is the future what you thought it would be? (2-0-0-4)
For every cloudy vision is now reality (2-0-0-4)
Now these words you hear is not meant to scare (2-0-0-4)
But in fact, they're here to make you aware (2-0-0-4)
So just like before, you know, in the past (2-0-0-4)
The future's what we make it so let's make it last, get on yo' ass (2-0-0-4)
[Chorus: Teddy Riley & Guy]
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
G-U-Y-2-K, 'bove y'all (2-0-0-4)
[Outro: Teddy Riley]
