Lyrics of Link Me In The Future by Chance the Rapper
[Intro/Chorus]
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Waitin’ On Forever
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Just Waitin’ On Forever
[Verse 1]
Streets Is Crying Bloody Murder, Somebody No One Heard Of
The Gall, The Audacity, The Fuckin’ Nerve Of
Someone Just To Turn Up Missing Just To Stir Up All This Commotion
Set In Motion Like You Shot The Sheriff
You Know This Town Is Like The Dog Pound, This Shit Is Corrupt
They Can’t Get Off They High Horse ‘Cause They Lost The Stirrups
The Interest Always Died Down From When You First Start Team
But If You Really Looking, We Can Start A Search Party
Go Get The Cake, Go Hit The Lights, Let’s Make A Surprise
If You Looking For Love, Then We Gonna Find That Bitch By Sunrise
And If You Tell Me Eight, I Won’t Be Late, I’m Not Like Some Guys
Just Send A Dave To Say… I Mean, Damn, Wait
I Get So Tongue-tied
But Please Don’t Have Me Out Here Looking For You On No Poster
You Know Your Ass Be Missing, I Just Miss You Like I’m Supposed To
Our Memories Still Haunt Me, My Homies Told Me To Ghost Ya
But Every Time I See Ya, It Make Me Just Wanna Hold Ya Closer
[Chorus]
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Waitin’ On Forever
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Just Waitin’ On Forever
[Verse 2]
Got Tired Of Looking Back
Got Tired Of Looking Back
Got Soft From Looking Back
Got Tired Of Looking Back
Got Tired And Took A Nap
Got Tired Of Looking Back
Got Pride, I Took It Back
Got Tired Of Looking Back
We Keep Our Pictures, The Obituaries, Programs From Funerals
Like Ms. Brown Had ‘Em Stacked Up On Her Old Grand Piano In That Living Room
Where Once Upon A Slow Dance, Her Husband Kissed Her Tears
His Portrait Sings A Silent Slow Jam
No Honorary When You Have To Bury Old Friends
My Heart Was Heavy, Had To Carry Him With Both Hands
Young And Scary, We Was Weary Of The Romance
The World’s On Fire, Girl, You Marrying A Snowman
I Heard Grief Is Love In A Thunderstorm
And Death Is Really Nothing Different From The Norm
And Everybody At The End Get What’s Coming For ‘Em
Either God Got Some Loving Or An Oven For ‘Em
So If We Isn’t On The Same Flight On The Same Night
I’ma Wait, Sit Around And Hang Tight
Until The Day We Become The Same Height
[Chorus]
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Waitin’ On Forever
Link Me In The Future Or Whatever
I’m Sure I’ll Be Right Here, Just Waitin’ On Forever
