(Verse 1)
Dear Kayla n Jocelyn..
Sometimes when i wanna get away from it all i just look at the two of you
When i dont wanna feel tied down from the pressures of makin it
When i see the clock tickin and i jus feel like breakin it
When i wanna turn my back on this life cuz im tired of facin it...
I jus look at the two of you
You... two... are my hope for this future
See both of u don’t understand the war zone that surrounds you
The hatred thats around you
The ocean of tears that humanity has cried that can possibly drown you, no... you both dont understand it
You don’t see the segregation and the color lines that trap our freedom
If racism and injustice knocked on ur doors, u wouldn't know how to greet them... u dont know them
You dont carry the burden of understanding illness or death
Holding grudges or being stressed
Payin bills, seeing somebody have more and u have less, the missed opportunities, all the regrets, u are free from these realities...
But i ask myself... what’s next?
(Hook)
Cuz the futures coming soon, im tryin its hard
To believe that one day u can be flying in cars
Yea the futures coming soon, the signs arent far
So when the worlds gets too crazy, u can hide in the stars
(Verse 2)
Sometimes I catch myself softly rubbing the purity of ur skin, hoping i can get a glimpse of what it feels like to be that innocent
There are no scars u have endured.. no hardships that have poured over ur hopes n dreams
Kayla, ur biggest fears are monsters and zombies in ur room, ure doomed if u sleep there by urself
Jocelyn, your biggest fear is Mommy leaving a room without you, as if your only form of survival is my hand pressed against urs
Your joys are pure joys, the greatest noise is ur laughter that echoes thru the nite
U both smile at anyone who smiles at u, it dont matter what they look like
You both dont see the world with tainted lenses
There are no fences around ur expectations of life
But whats next for the two of u?
If i can slap the world into its place and tell it not to mess with u, i would
If i can shield ur hearts from ever being broken
Im choking on the proper words to say to ur future days
Ur future ways are dependent on how u will b raised..
(Hook)
Cuz the futures coming soon, im tryin its hard
To believe that one day u can be flying in cars
Yea the futures coming soon, the signs arent far
So when the worlds too gets crazy, u can hide in the stars
(Verse 3)
Dear kayla and jocelyn
I pray this world will b kind to you
I pray that love will always be seen, itll never be blind to u
That every step u take towards ur destiny will not be corrupted by the imperfections surrounding u
I pray that tragedy will never be found in you
I pray the colors of life will always brighten your paths
That ur gender or ur race will never limit how green u can make ur grass
I pray ur joy stays sweet.. I pray ur smiles always last
I dont expect u to ever enter into a perfect world where chaos won't sometimes excel, but my hope is that your future would b a story that any parent would wanna tell
That there will always be water in ur well
Your days ahead will have a home that these present times wish they can dwell, in
You can grow up and reach that bell that rings for freedom And liberates u from all of lifes limitations
(Hook)
Cuz the futures coming soon, im tryin its hard
To believe that one day u can be flying in cars
Yea the future’s coming soon, the signs aren’t far
So when the worlds gets too crazy, u can hide in the stars
