Prince - The Future Lyrics

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
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 spirituality 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
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 7up
I would rather drink 6 razor blades, razor blades from a paper cup
He can't understand, I say too 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 you 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
Flashing loaded pistol, too dumb to be true
Somebody told him playing 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
And 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 spirituality that will last
I've seen the future and it will be, alright
I've seen the future and it will be
I've seen the future and it will be, oh

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

Think about the future
