Future So Bright

I traded my soul For control of many riches Not all are born with wealth One of lifes' many glitches Maybe one day If I pray hard and long I'll live without a problem And nothin will go wrong Many times thinkin I would be broke bound Another person in the streets Scrapin pennies off the ground A bottle to my lips Body going numb Sleepin in a shelter Always beggin for a crumb Seen it many times Don't wanna be a stat Livin without love In the alley like a cat Just for one time Wish karma would come my way Every night thinkin Tomorrow's another day Thank God I've got my family Who's there and got my back Now at the train station On a one way track Mind feelin strong Vision much clearer Lookin straight ahead Never glancin out the mirror Not stoppin at the sign Always starin at the light With the sun shinin down I know my future's bright
