5 Years From Now Lyrics


Yeah, Mike Jones, who? Mike Jones
Where will I be at 5 years from now
5 years from now
5 years from now
Where would I go, who would I see in 5 years from now?
Tell me how will I live
Will I raise some kids, yeah, 5 years from now?
Will I be locked down or will I be underground, yeah
5 years from now?
Tell me what my future hold, it scares me not to know
What I'ma be doin' 5 years from now
I live life daily, scared to make babies
It's hard to plan your future when the world goin' crazy
Kids with no food, who can they turn to
Beside they own people, I swear this world evil
They see us on TV, they thinkin' we should be
The main ones providin' for our community
But the government is paid, dishin' out minimum wage

They don't care about the streets as long as they get paid
My advice is please vote, don't take it as a joke
'Cause 5 years from now the world could be gone in smoke
Now everybody's gone 'cause they ain't stand strong
An' vote for a leader that can lead our country home
We got people in Iraq, tell me why they can't come home
If you care about your future, please listen to the song
We got people in Iraq, tell me why they can't come home
If you care about your future, please listen to the song
Where would I go, who would I see in 5 years from now?
Tell me how will I live
Will I raise some kids, yeah, 5 years from now?
Will I be locked down or will I be underground, yeah
5 years from now?
Tell me what my future hold, it scares me not to know
What I'ma be doin' 5 years from now
I think about my homies, I think about my momma
I think about what's goin' on, I think about the drama
I think about the world, I think about my life
5 years from now, will I have me a wife?
Will I have me some kids? Tell me how will I live
Will I be doin' wrong or will I live positive?
Will I live to get a Grammy or will I be with my granny?
5 years from now, I don't think you understand me
I'm tryin' to hold on, I'm tryin' to stay strong
It's hard not knowin' what's really goin' on
But I try to maintain, keep my head in the game
When shit ain't lookin' too good, I pray for better thangs
I keep the Lord on my side 'til the day I die
Will I blow up big? I don't know but I'll try
I keep the Lord on my side 'til the day I die
Will I blow up big? I don't know but I'll try
Where would I go, who would I see in 5 years from now?
Tell me how will I live
Will I raise some kids, yeah, 5 years from now?
Will I be locked down or will I be underground, yeah
5 years from now?
Tell me what my future hold, it scares me not to know
What I'ma be doin' 5 years from now
How could you think about the future
When the world goin' crazy?
Kids havin' kids, they too young to make babies
I'm livin' in the world so sheisty an' shady
Mike Jones, Jones
5 years from now, will I be dead, boxed up?
Or in the pen for ten like Akon, 'Locked Up'?
Tell me how would I live, will I have me some kids?
Will I blow up big in showbiz 5 years from now?
Where would I go, who would I see in 5 years from now?
Tell me how will I live
Will I raise some kids, yeah, 5 years from now?
Will I be locked down or will I be underground, yeah
5 years from now?
Tell me what my future hold, it scares me not to know
What I'ma be doin' 5 years from now
Where would I go?
Where would I stay 5 years from now?
It scares me not to know
It scares me not to know, yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
At least three artists share this name:

1) A southern rap artist from the northside of Houston, TX, born January 6, 1981.

Mike Jones has become well-known for his unique repetition of his own name throughout his songs. Many of his songs contain the phrases "Who is Mike Jones?" or "Mike Jones!" His major promotional gimmick is to sell and hand out shirts with his cell phone number on them (athletic department-style shirts reading "Property of Mike Jones"), as well as shouting out the number throughout his mixtapes and albums, encouraging fans to call him on his Motorola phone.

Jones is known for recording in the "chopped & screwed" style popularized by DJ Screw, also of Houston. The slowed-down audio aesthetic supposedly mimics the effect of "sippin' sizzurp," that is, cough syrup containing codeine. Most followers of the chopped & screwed style claim that it has outgrown its drug-related roots. Jones' trademark technique is to take a line from one of his songs and use it as a chorus in another, or sometimes even in the same song, screwing, chopping and repeating it (for example, the chorus to "Back Then" is sampled from the track "Still Tippin").

Jones has used repetition of certain words and phrases extensively in his songs. An example of this can be found in songs such as Back Then when he constantly repeats "Mike Jones" and "Who is Mike Jones." As a result, he has come under intense scrutiny or criticism from fellow rappers in his native Houston such as rappers Chamillionaire and Lil' Flip who have accused Mike Jones of copying their slang or criticized his aforementioned rapping style.

2) Solo pianist.

3) An experimental tape artist from Cardiff, Wales.

Mike Jones ran the CTOANR cassette tape label in the early eighties which featured the likes of Artists such as The Stripey Zebras's, Instant Automatons and other independent artists. Mike was also a recording artist and played in The Chromosomes, Effigies (UK) and released solo work.

Recordings from Mike and The Chromosomes were released in 2008 by the American Label Hyped2Death. The album Messthetics: Greatest Hiss features "Reckless Policies" from Mikes 1981 solo Album "Pretty Flowers", "Hi Fi Know How" by The Chromosomes plus a Cardiff based radio competition where his band finished third (out of three).

Since 1985 Mike has played in the punk/techno/C86 band named Otalgia (which is a medical term for earache).
