Lyrics
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, the future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, the future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Verse 1]
Finally, someone let me out of my cage
Now, time for me is nothing 'cause I'm counting 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, bet you didn't think 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 kicking tunes?
Picture you getting down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse, you think it's fictional
Mystical, maybe, spiritual
Hero who appears on you to clear your view when you're too crazy
Lifeless to those, the definition for what life is
Priceless to you because I put you on the hype shift
You like it? Gut smokin' righteous with one toke
You're psychic among those
Possess you with one go
[Chorus]
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, the future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, the future is coming on (That's right)
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Verse 2]
The essence, the basics, without, did you make it?
Allow me to make this childlike in nature
Rhythm, you have it or you don't, that's a fallacy
I'm in them, every sprouting tree, every child of peace
Every cloud and sea
You see with your eyes, I see destruction and demise
Corruption in the skies (That's right)
From this fucking enterprise, now I'm sucked into your lies
Through Russel, not his muscles, but percussion he provides
For me as a guide, y'all can see me now
'Cause you don't see with your eye
You perceive with your mind, that's the inner (Fuck 'em)
So I'ma stick around with Russ and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so motherfuckers remember where the thought is
I brought all this so you can survive when law is lawless (Right here)
Feelings, sensations that you thought was dead
No squealing, remember that it's all in your head
[Chorus]
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, the future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long, my future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Bridge]
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Bridge]
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Bridge]
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Bridge]
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
[Bridge]
My future is coming on
It's coming on
It's coming on
My future
