The Future - Prince

«i'm not gonna kill you.

i want you to do me a favor,

I want you to tell all your friends about me.»

«what are you?»

«i'm batman!»

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it works

And if there’s life after, we will see

So i can’t go like a jerk

Systematic overthrow of the underclass

Hollywood conjures images of the past

New world needs spiritually

That will last

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it works

And if there’s life after, we will see

So i can’t go like a jerk

Yellow smiley offers me x Like he’s drinking seven up I would rather drink 6 razor blades

Razor blades from a paper cup

He can’t understand, i say 2 tough

It’s just that i’ve seen the future

And boy it’s rough

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it works

And if there’s life after, we will see

So u can’t go like a jerk

No, no

I’ve seen the future and it will be Wait a minute

Pretty pony standing on the avenue

Flashin’a loaded pistol, 2 dumb 2 be true

Somebody told him playin’cops and robbers was cool

Would our rap have been different if we only knew?

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it works

If there’s life after, we will see

Don’t go out like a jerk

Systematic overthrow of the underclass

Hollywood conjures images of the past

New world needs spiritually

That will last

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be

I’ve seen the future and it will be
