Future
Lyrics
Mambo, Huncho
Not everyone is coming to the future
Not everyone is learning from the past
Not everyone can come into the future
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last
Not everyone is coming to the future
Not everyone is coming from the past
Not everyone can come into the future
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last
You ain't woke
Come here woke and
Hear the broken
Come give hope
Come give life
Only get one, so we gotta live it right (gotta live it right)
Come, make peace, uh
Come to pick an inspiration
Come complete you
Advise, positive vibes (positive vibes)
Open your mind (open your mind)
Open your eyes (open your eyes)
Yeah (yeah)
Not everyone is coming to the future
Not everyone is learning from the past
Not everyone can come into the future
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last
Not everyone is coming to the future (no)
Not everyone is learning from the past (past)
Not everyone can come into the future (to the future, nope)
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last (last)
I hope you know, know
My life is gold (gold)
I drip that ice (ice)
I see the signs (signs)
Just free your mind (free)
Welcome to the future, it's a culture ride (ride)
Too much pain inside
It's an override
Yeah, yeah
You've been puttin' too much time tryin' to survive (tryin')
Don't like the person in your past, so you let 'em die
(Le-le-let your light shine) Yeah, yeah
Not everyone is coming to the future (no)
Not everyone is learning from the past (past)
Not everyone can come into the future (to the future)
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last (last)
Not everyone is coming to the future (to the future) (no)
Not everyone is learning from the past (from the past)
Not everyone can come into the future (to the future)
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last (last)
We can light up the dark
Everyone has a spark
Don't tell me to stop
'Cause you said so (oh yeah)
Your future is bright (bright)
Just don't turn off the light (lights)
Tell the sun not to shine (bright)
'Cause you said so
Not everyone is coming to the future (no)
Not everyone is learning from the past (past)
Not everyone can come into the future (to the future)
Not everyone that's here is gonna last, gonna last (last)
To the future
From the past
To the future
It's the future where we come from, bein' stars
It's the future where we come from, bein' hard
It's the future where we come from, beat 'em all
It's the future where we come from, bein' boss
It's the future where you gotta pay the cost (the future)
It's the future where you come from, bein' lost (the future)
It's the future, crucifixion on a cross (woo)
But you know that I'ma rise above it all, yeah

Album
Song
'Future' was made available for download and streaming on May 17, 2019 as a preview of the album Madame X. For this collaboration with Quavo, Madonna experiments with reggae. A day after its release, Madonna and Quavo performed 'Future' at the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest finale in Tel Aviv.
Tour
Performed in the final segment of the Madame X Tour, Future sounded less reggae and more apocalyptic. Madonna played the piano in front of images of forest fires, polluted cities, war, poverty and misery.
