We Are The Future In The Present - Patrice

Forever and always we know who we are

The blood in my veins came from afar

What will you do when I’m walking?

What if I’m done with the talking?

What will you do?

We are the future in the present

And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it

We are the future in the present

And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it

And we do it with the class and style.

We cut and we clear, we sign and we seal

Not playing the game with the cost that you deal

What would you do when we’re walking?

What if we’re done with the talking?

What would you do?

We are the future in the present

And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it

We are the future in the present

And though the past it tried to kill us yet we made it

And we do it with the class and style.

We’re real queens and kings

We are why the caged birds sings

Things don’t happen to us we happen to things

Happening, happening — we are happening

Dap-dap-dapper when we turn up the melanin

Fufu pounded yam

curves curves curves …

We are the future in the present

And all the past they tried to kill us yet we made it

We are the future in the present

And all the past they tried to kill us yet we made it
