The Future is Yours
Embrace Your Destiny: The Future is Yours with South of Royal
Lyrics
We’re fooling ourselves, like always, seems like it’s the only thing we know how to do
We often deceive ourselves, and it seems to be a familiar behavior for us.
We’re fooling ourselves, caught up in, the tension of what we think we need, our fears and the Truth
We continue to deceive ourselves, entangled in the tension between our perceived needs, fears, and the actual truth.
So we borrow what we don’t have, to get what we don’t need
We borrow things we don't possess to acquire things we don't truly need.
Doesn’t even have to be true, as long as that’s what they see
The truth doesn't necessarily matter; what matters is the image we project to others.
Believer, you don’t have to live this way
An encouragement to the listener, suggesting they don't have to continue living in a self-deceptive manner.
Believer, you don’t have to live this way
Reiteration of the encouragement to break free from self-deception.
The future is yours (Already yours Already yours Already yours)
Stating that the future belongs to the listener, emphasizing ownership with repetitions.
The future is yours (Already yours Already yours Already yours)
Reiteration of the idea that the future already belongs to the listener.
In our heads, we’re following, hearts so easily seduced, hands can be so weak
In our minds, we follow desires easily, but our actions can be weak and susceptible.
Didn’t fall far, from that cursed tree, knowing that it will be cut down but painting the leaves green
Reference to the biblical concept of the fall, acknowledging the inevitable consequences of certain actions.
We’re named by what we have, defined by what we’ve done
We are identified by our possessions and achievements.
We hide the battles we’ve lost, so proud of battles we’ve won
We conceal our losses but boast about our victories.
Yeah, the future is mine, I don’t waste when I lose every time, I don’t hate ‘cause of you on your grind,
The future is claimed as personal, expressing a positive attitude despite repeated failures.
like I’m on my grind, there’s more than enough space for us to shine.
Emphasizing abundance and shared success, suggesting there is enough space for everyone to prosper.
I’m goin’ for the greatness and I ain’t waitin’, life is like a book but we on different pages,
A declaration of pursuing greatness without waiting, acknowledging individual differences.
so wherever ya sittin’ now, down, think the time is taken, it doesn’t matter what your age, name, or race is
Regardless of one's current situation, time is passing, and opportunities should be seized, irrespective of age, name, or race.
but it’s yours
Reiteration of the idea that the future belongs to the individual.
