The Future

[Intro: Aaron Hall, Guy & Teddy Riley]
(The world is the future)
(It's the future, the fu—, the future)
(It's the future)
(It's the fu—, it's the fu—, it's the fu—, the future)
Brothers
(It's the future)
Sisters
(It's the future, the fu—, the future)
(It's the future)
(It's the fu—, it's the fu—, it's the fu—, the future)
Give and eat for the future
(The future, the future)
Take a look around you, it ain't workin'
(It's the fu—, it's the fu—)
Instead of us hurtin', they jerkin'
(It's the fu—, it's the—)
It ain't happenin'
(It's the future, it's the future)
This the future everybody
(It's the fu—, it's the fu—)
(It's the fu—, it's the fu—)
This the future
(It's the future, the future)

[Verse 1: Aaron Hall]
We can be lovers or the people
Let's join hands, stopping all the dangers
We can be a better world
For the future
I'm saying that now clear, ripping in confusion
No one knows what is an illusion
There's a chance for us in the future
I'm singing of the...

[Chorus: Aaron Hall, Guy & Teddy Riley]
(The future) We can be together
(The future) Better than the world today
(The future) Oh, we can be so different
(The future) Oh-woah
(Got to see the future)
(The future) Baby
(There's something here for us) Oh
(The future)
(It's the sign of the times, come on)
(The future) Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na
(This the future)
(The future) All that I'm thinkin' about, ooh
(Thinkin' of the future)
(The future)

[Verse 2: Damion Hall & Aaron Hall]
Jealousy and being strife
If we keep this up, we all lose our life
Love and peace is what we need
Today
Look around, we can make it happen
It's not hard, we have other reasons
Take a chance and make it last forever

[Chorus: Aaron Hall, Guy & Teddy Riley]
(The future) We can be together
(The future) Don't you worry about a thing, no, baby
(The future) Mothers
(The future) And fathers, raise your children right
(The future) Don't worry about them in the future
(The future) It will be all, it will be alright
(The future) I'm talking about
(The future) I'm singing about the future
(The future) I-I
(The future) I can't wait for the future
(The future) Everything will be alright
(The future) Everything will be alright
(Get down, come on)

[Outro: Teddy Riley & Guy]
(The future) It's the future, gotta be the future
(The future) Something to look for, take a look around you, it's not workin'
(The future) You gotta look for the future, think about the future
(The future) The problems all to solve
(The future) Think this the future, think about the future
(The future) The problems all to solve, got what the future give, with the future
(The future) Got what the future
(The future) It's somethin' in the world we need today, love, peace, and future
(The future) It's the future
(The future) The future, give what the future
(The future) The future
