Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
[Verse 2]
Finally, someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothin', 'cause I'm countin' no age
Now I couldn't be there, now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs, and I'm under each snare
Intangible, I bet you didn't think so
So I command you to, panoramic view
Look, I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose, sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kickin' tunes
Picture you gettin' down in a picture too
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional, mystical, maybe
Spiritual hero who appears in you to clear your view
When you're too crazy
Lifeless, for whose definition is for what life is
Priceless to you because I put you on the hype shit
Did ya like it?
Gun smokin' righteous but one talkin' psychic
But knows possess you with one though
[Verse 3]
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
[Verse 4]
The essence, the basics, without it, you make it
Allow me to make this child, like a nature
Rhythm you have it or you don't
That's a fallacy, I'm in them
Every spiral tree, every child of peace
Every cloud I see, you see with your eyes
I see destruction and demise
Corruption in the skies
From this fuckin' enterprise that I'm sucked into your lies
The Russell that is muscles, the percussion he provides
For me, I say, god, y'all can see me now
'Cos you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind
That's the end of it
So I'm gonna stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes that motherfuckers remember
But the thought is
I brought all this so you can survive when law is lawless
Fearless, sensations that you though was dead
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head
[Verse 5]
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
I ain't happy, I'm feelin' glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
The future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
[Verse 6]
My future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
It's comin' on
My future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
It's comin' on
My future is comin' on
It's comin' on, it's comin on
My future is comin' on
It's comin' on
