Chronicles Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
As I explore the molecular foundations of my mental faculties
I examine my thought-process & what my future could be
I'm 18 years old, soon I'll be out of the high
I wonder what college I'll be going to or will I apply?
Or will I blow up before I step foot in a university
I wonder what God has in store, I'll wait and see where he'll take me
Where will I be, where will I go, how will it come to past
The journey of 1 million miles, can't prophesize the time with an hour glass
How will the people treat me, what will I go through
How come God chose me, why was I one of the few
How come I was born in this lifetime & raised by these parents
How come I wasn't born in the future, past or present
How come I'm black and not white, or a pure African
Or someone who lives in Venuzuela, speaking like a hispanian
I got off subject, now back to the point, I wonder where I'll be
I thank Christ for what my life is and I ponder this constantly

[Chorus: x2]
Where will I be in ten years, where will I be in twenty
Only God can bless, curse, give or take away from me
Life is mysterious, leaves me so curious
I hope you feel these words cause this subject is so serious

[Verse 2:]
What kind of people will I encounter in life?
Mentors and wise men, who will tell me to soar to great heights
And those that hate me, and say that I won't succeed
But when I make it, they be all up on me, now they take heed
Will I get engaged, and if so, who will I marry
A virtuous woman I'll take for a wife, each others love we'll carry I hope my great grandparents live to see my dreams fulfilled
I hope I rescue my friends out the hood before they get killed
As my mind wonders I think about how I'll give God glory
Sitting at a teen summit telling my sinner's story
It'll be weird when everybody's riding, bumping K-Drama
And one day at the best of restaurants, chilling with my mama
Everyday's a new day, and I wonder where I'll be
Only God knows right now, I'll just have to wait & see
... And then I say to myself

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
When they make my documentary, what will it say
And I'm 60 years old and they brag about how I hustled in my day
Will I be a mentor, a hero, a role-model
Who knows, you might see my face on a coca-cola bottle
How many albums will I release, what will be my greatest work of art
What will make me known as God's child, what will set me apart
When I'm on rap city with Big Tigga, what will I say in my freestyle
Where will I travel to, what country's and how many miles
How long will I live, will I die a peaceful death
And when I die, riches for 3 generations is what I left
Who will use me for my service, in life, what is my purpose
I know whatever I do, my timely investment, it'll be worth it
And when I die or rise I wonder what heaven will be like
Seeing people from Moses to Martin Luther King and all the people who lived right
Where there is no sin, hurt or pain and the light is never dim
And then I'll start these questions over and have 1 million questions to ask him

[Chorus x2]
