[Hook: S.H.A.D.O.W.]
This a toast to the future
We already made it through the past
Star pupils stay wasted every class
Never waste an opportunity though
To all the fans, what you viewing is growth
This ain’t gods or MCs, we both
To the future
We already made it through the past
Star pupils stay wasted every class
Never waste an opportunity though
To all the fans, what you viewing is growth
This ain’t gods or MCs, we both
[Verse 1: S.H.A.D.O.W.]
You looking at a dead man
Keep your blood rushing like a handstand
Treating rhyme spitters like a bedpan
Pissing em off, sharpshooter how I’m picking em off
I can only trade words with a boss
I fear no man, oh you was rapping? I ain’t hear no bars
I guess yo words don’t flow like ours
You could be my stand
I don’t let a soul know my plans
Any problems you can meet my hands
Mic check 1-2
Strategize, I’m the new Sun Tzu
Battle pride and the crew come through
You n***as To Wong Foo
Crossdresser like it’s part of a trend
2020 is like the start to the end
But we toasting to the future right?
To the greatest rappers, I am Kryptonite
Eyes closed I can still get the vision right
Play the beats let me get my fix
And pop a bottle, we toasting to the remix
[Verse 2: Mac Lethal]
This is a toast to the future
I be getting bread, but it’s toast in my future
Hustle every day, never coast to the future
Cause I’m trying to buy land on the coast in my future
They tell me I should go pop, make music that sounds closer to Futures
I said nah, dug my fingers in my own wounds and I opened my sutures
It’s potent, it’s proof that when spoken, the truth hurts
Raise your glass, toast up to future
I’m so fucking focused I woke up the rooster
The sun ain’t even out yet, up before the farmer too
Son ain’t left the house yet, no coffee to his mouth yet
Remember this homie, life is gonna end
How much fucking time you gonna spend?
Just staring at your phone posting memes about the grind you’ve got within
Fuck getting likes from all your friends, create your future
[Verse 3: Kismet M.D.]
Chugging a wine glass full of something that might have
You put your cup in the sky and get stuck in a time capsule
What a wonderful life when nothing but time pass you
What was behind, having you wanna rewind back to
Wonder was I dealing with something that contact you
Tough as a bronze statue
Feeling alive, militant mind
Demonstrating skill with the rhyme every direction way around it like chameleon eyes
Revealing the lies told, lord willing deny
The villain is kind, as cold as a reptilian guy
Pages wrote telling my story and reading
Raven coat forevermore they get a toast for celebratory achievements
Dream of what the future holds, think of what’ll soon be known
Plan to see what love, and a family tree from the roots will grow
Beware the demons, they spiritually will wound your soul
Bear the wings of angels they hear em singing, it’s beautiful
A funeral isn’t only made for a eulogy
When you assume you know it, you make out of you and me
I choose to go, never known to waste opportunity
I do the most, and I show the weight of the youth and lead
I move between where the space and the air is owned as private
Down to a T, like U and V the rays are ultraviolet
Medusa see you she turn your face into stone and blind ya
Paint it as golden vibrant, making a toast to the future
[Verse 4: Loose Logic]
I’m toasting to the future, get everything I’m owed
See I’m everything you’re not, so I’m everything you don’t
It must be in the genes, I can feel it getting closer
Bout to make that whore moan, you can tell it from the growth
Looking back and reminiscing, it be leaving me depressed
I can see whatever dress, was prepared to be impressed
But I pity you’re upset
Cause y’all inflict your suffering and never ask you to sat and discuss it
And so y’all just go in circles like an app that’s buffering
Y’all listen, all writtens are hidden and come with bars in em
Y’all come at em with the art reflects his all when I spit arsenic
And you digest it, so go and swallow your pride
And one of you runners up, yeah you following stride
If you cross me, better lie beneath
When it’ safe to date, save the day
You will need to dig a hole for every grave mistake that I put you in
Cause then it’s real, but I’m finna kill
I’m just playing devil’s advocate like I’m into this
[Verse 5: Julius of the Shoegang]
Let me toast to Future, not the dirty sprite sipper
Been paid my dues, now I’m certified n***a
OG’s taught me so I learned a lot quicker
Went from player to a coach, homie word to Doc Rivers
A n***a after big big money, I don’t have it yet
I’m fly lowkey, private flight, I don’t have a jet
But I get bread, been cashing checks
Yo I raised money like a child threw my cash in a bassinet
Long B-E-A-C-H grew up in them hard streets
So I gotta hustle, long as I got a heartbeat
Breakfast time to dinner time, hustle till we all eat
I see the finish line, now check the flag it’s in arms reach
C-O-B it’s on, outlaws like we Pac’s homies
Gotta do what moms told me, get what God got for me
Tryna block my light nah homie
You see I got S.H.A.D.O.W. next to me
That mean the shine on me
[Verse 6: Kohlton Seagrave]
Never even had it fair, I’m chilling in my atmosphere
Welcome to the world premiere, baby I’m just glad I’m here
Rappers couldn’t crack a bear, but they’re always cracking ears
Feeling like a Cavalier, I haven’t rapped in half a year
Still got the acid raps to mass attack your habitat
You couldn’t stand the aftermath if you was in a hazmat
Matter fact, I’ma take you back when they was laughing at
The kid who had nothing except a backpack and battle raps
And listen I’m not mad at that and I ain’t forget
Now them bitches that was laughing always riding my dick
They always come to my shows, they always buying my shit
And no I never did blow, but I’m as high as it gets
See I created a tomb when I was laid in the womb
I had you fuckers aired out like deflated balloons
So fuck the bottom of the totem
I’m the motherfucking omen
I put bullets on your shirt ‘fore a thread is even woven
We the chosen, potent flows in a five-out motion
Burning all my pages since the day I started smoking
Broken, had to flip the switch on all of my emotions
Kholton’s not to fuck with if you ain’t get the notion
Surrounded by Medusa’s
I guess they never measured I was bound to be a ruler
Since a fucking high schooler I been out of my medulla
Praise Jesus hallelujah, here’s a toast to the future
[Hook: S.H.A.D.O.W.]
This a toast to the future
