[Verse 1]

You can never tell me I'm not real

I've been through everything, seen with my real eyes

Listen and you will realise

I speak the truth, everyone speaks real lies

I wish I was where I was when I was

Wishing I was here, 'cause then I was clear, but

Now I'm a bit muddled up 'cause

I've got people tryna take


[Chorus]

I wish I was where I was when I was

Wishing I was here, 'cause then I was clear

I'm disappointed

Nah, man, I'm disappointed deeply

'Cause I know that I need the future

But I want the future to need me


[Break 1]

I said "Future" like a prick, man

Fuck commercial hits

Fuck the charts


[Verse 2]

I don't need no bandana and a hammer and shit

This ain't no Santana and Cam'ron shit

I just wait for record shops to pay me back

While people say, "Jme this and Jme that"

I don't give a damn, none of you knew me

From when I used to walk home from school with Julie

Now everybody wants to talk

Flippin' upsets me


[Chorus]

I wish I was where I was when I was

Wishing I was here, 'cause then I was clear

I'm disappointed

Nah, man, I'm disappointed deeply

'Cause I know that I need the future

But I want the future to need me


[Break 2]

The future don't even fucking need you, blud

God forbid I die right now

In four years

No one even fucking gives a shit


[Verse 3]

I just need my music, man, then I'm set

I've got an iPod but the battery's dead

I write on envelopes, on anything really

I don't care if the pen is red

I don't care if it's a whiteboard marker

With ink all leaking through the paper

You can ask your lyrics, they'll tell you

They wish that I was their creator


[Chorus]

I wish I was where I was when I was

Wishing I was here, 'cause then I was clear

I'm disappointed

Nah, man, I'm disappointed deeply

'Cause I know that I need the future

But I need the future to need me


[Outro]

Fucked

Deadout

Everyone forgets you

When you're dead, you're just gone

It's fucked
