The Future Belongs to Me

Performed by David Rudder

Composed by Gregory Ballantyne

There is a new self awareness in many young people.

Their saying I am in control of who I am.

Dope is a deceiver a sweet eye from the Devil.

That takes you for a ride then drops you Bram.

But my body is a temple, my body is a shrine.

I can't let passers-by pollute my stream.

No, no, no, me ain't able with no substance to blow my mind.

Drugs can't interrupt my life my dream.

Because I take full responsibility for all that goes down inside of me.

And dope is death in disguise so now I've opened my eyes.

With my health, my greatest wealth, no compromise.

And it so cool to be drug free so cool to be healthy.

Ah say boom, bobodom watch me, Boom bobodom irie.

Confident self assured, rebellious if need be.

But I'm free, so the future belongs to me. Oh

Illegal drugs and its pushers have a single motto.

That is to hang you like a puppet from their line.

And so they push you and they push you and they step on your ego.

Just to separate your body from your mind.

Legal drugs like tobacco are standing at the gate,

Inviting you… hey there must be something more.

Yuh young yuh hip and yuh macho.

It's time to graduate, but you've got to win this tug-o-war.

You just say:

I take full responsibility for all that goes down inside of me.

And I'm not walking the line, cause my life must not lose its shine.

And no artificial boosters to blow my mind.

And it so cool to be drug free, so cool to be healthy.

Ah say boom, bobodom watch me, boom bobodom irie.

Confident self assured, rebellious if need be.

But I'm free and so the future belongs to me.

Rap:

Drugs is a posion but the label misplaced

A certified killer with a smile upon his face

Gives you good feelings and kill your confidence

Take away your dollars and take away your cents

More and more young people are saying no way sir,

We will not be used as pushers pawns.

No damn drug Barron going to build no empire

On my senses which I need to carry on.

Economics will tell you once there's no demand the glut will surely kill the vicious trade.

Let them know they can't sell you leave it on their hands

The quality of life they can't degrade.

You say:

I take full responsibility for all that goes down inside of me.

And society bears the strain, economy feels the drain.

Today's youth don't want no mush, you want your brain

And it so cool to be drug free so cool to be healthy.

Ah say boom, bobodom watch me, boom bobodom irie.

Confident self assured, rebellious if need be.

And I'm free and so the future belongs to me.

Rap:

You can't face the pace, you must get a taste.

Putting the things through the holes in your face.

Youth now a day's draw the line.

Self preservation each and every time.

This is your turning period if you're on a substance.

Because you possess the will to say "no more."

Thousands of trained people will grab you at the first chance,

To make your life as useful as before.

Parents pop tranquilizers, prescriptions they abuse

All these double standards have to go.

Positive influences you have to produce.

There must be no dark cloud in this rainbow.

Children say:

I take full responsibility for all that goes down inside of me.

Dope is death dope is strive

It cuts you up like a knife children push and fight there must be a better life

And it so cool to be drug free so cool to be healthy.

Ah say boom, bobodom watch me, boom bobodom irie.

Confident self assured, rebellious if need be.

But I'm free and so the future belongs to me.

It's so cool to be drug free so cool to be healthy.

Ah say boom, bobodom watch me, boom bobodom irie.

Confident self assured, rebellious if need be.

But I'm free and so the future belongs to me.
