Future Shock
Kendrick Lamar

[Verse 1]
Step into the future where the screens glow bright,
Pixels in my vision, but I'm ready for the fight.
Algorithms scheming, got my dreams on the grind,
Swear I'm wiser with my time, every second redefined.

[Verse 2]
Like a time machine, I’m racing through the years,
Dodging all the madness, drowning in the fears.
Virtual reality, but I’m living in the flesh,
Mapping out my journey, while the world’s getting fresh.

[Chorus]
We’re the architects of change in a concrete jungle,
Navigating shadows where the brave hearts rumble.
I’m a fortress, I won’t crumble under pressure,
Future’s in my hands, call it mortal treasure.

[Verse 3]
Flares of the future, watch the city ignite,
Drones in the skyline, soaring into the night.
Data floods the air, but I’m swimming through the noise,
Witty with my words, gotta rise in the poise.

[Verse 4]
Tech is the beast, but I’m breaking the cage,
Scrollin’ through my past, turn the flippin’ page.
Life’s a puzzle, I got rhymes to complete,
Metaphors sharp, cutting deep with the beat.

[Chorus]
We’re the architects of change in a concrete jungle,
Navigating shadows where the brave hearts rumble.
I’m a fortress, I won’t crumble under pressure,
Future’s in my hands, call it mortal treasure.

[Bridge]
Gravity can’t hold me when I’m destined to soar,
I’ll break every chain til they’re rusted and poor.
Laugh at all the doubters, keep my vision in sight,
Dancing with my demons as I step into the light.

[Verse 5]
Coding my existence, watch the syntax unfold,
Life's a canvas, every stroke's worth gold.
Tomorrow’s got a face, but I’m shaping it today,
With every hard-hitting line, I’m paving my way.

[Outro]
So here’s the call, echo out through the sound,
Rise or fall, my spirit won't drown.
In this future shock, I’ll lay down my claim,
With clever bars and fire, I’m igniting the flame.
