Intro

Yeah
Roll the windows down
This one's for everybody who ever had to wait
We ain't waiting no more
Let's go

Verse 1

I grew up counting quarters at the laundromat
Now the sun's paying rent on every rooftop at
My mama's house got panels and a battery on the side
The power bill came back and it was smaller than my pride
They said the future's coming, I said bring it here quicker
My grandpa waited two years for a doctor, now it's figured
In an afternoon, the scan read by a brain in the cloud
And the nurse got time to hold his hand and laugh out loud
Every kid on the block got a tutor in their pocket
Patient as a saint and it never needs a socket break
Little cousin learning physics in a bunk bed at night
Asking how the stars work and it answers her right
They used to gatekeep knowledge in a building with a fee
Now the gate is wide open and the library is free to see
We accelerating, baby, put the pedal to the floor
Not to leave nobody, but to open every door
Cheaper food, cleaner air, faster cures, better schools
That's the only kind of race where everybody's using tools
I ain't scared of tomorrow, I been scared of today
When the doctor was too far and the rent was too much to pay
So build it, ship it, make it cheap and make it wide
Put a rocket in the hands of the kid from the other side
You can call it optimism, I just call it math
When the cost goes to zero, everybody gets a path

Chorus

Everybody eats tonight
Every window full of light
We built a world with room to grow
Now nobody gets left in the cold
Everybody eats tonight
The future's here and it's looking bright
Turn it up, let the whole block know
There's enough for all of us, so let it flow

Verse 2

Okay, real talk, now that everything is easy
I got all this time and I don't know what to do, believe me
I used to grind sixty hours for a boss named Gary
Now I'm learning the cello and it's honestly scary
The robot does my taxes and it does 'em with a smile
I asked it for a refund and it found me one in a while
I asked it to design me a house up on a hill
It said you're a man of modest taste, here's a bigger one still
My homie built a startup in a weekend from his couch
It cures a kind of fungus that you get inside your mouth
It ain't glamorous, but listen, it's helping a million people
And he made enough to buy his mom a church without a steeple
I'm the least productive person in the age of abundance
All I made this year was pancakes and a couple of sentences
But that's the point, you see, I got time for my kids
I go to every recital, even the one that was mid
My daughter played the triangle, she hit it twice
I cried like it was Mozart, man, she did it just right
They said that we'd be useless when the robots took the work
But I'm useful at the barbecue, I'm useful at the church
I'm useful when my neighbor needs a hand with a couch
Turns out being human is what life was about
So let the engines carry what the engines can lift
And let me carry my grandma to the beach as a gift

Chorus

Verse 3

This for the dreamers who were told to stay realistic
The kid with the notebook full of plans way too ambitious
The farmer with the drought who now can see a season early
The clinic in the mountains getting answers that are worthy
The single mother building her own business on a phone
The old man learning Spanish so his grandkids feel at home
We ain't asking for permission to imagine something better
We already got the blueprints and we writing it together
Every cure that took a decade now it's taking us a year
Every language on the planet, now we all can understand here
They can keep their old scarcity, their walls and their fear
We got sunlight by the ocean and a whole lot of cheer
I'm a child of the struggle, now I'm father of the plenty
I remember empty fridges, now I'm handing out the twenties
Not because I'm rich, but because it's cheap to give
When the world makes enough, then the whole world gets to live
So hurry up, scientists, I'm cheering from the bleachers
Hurry up, inventors, hurry up, the teachers
Hurry up the medicine, hurry up the clean power
Every day we wait is somebody's final hour
And when they write the history of the century we're in
Let 'em say we chose abundance, let 'em say we let 'em in
Let 'em say we built the ladder and we didn't pull it up
Let 'em say that we were brave enough to fill everybody's cup

Bridge

Imagine it
A Tuesday with nowhere you gotta be
Your mama in the garden
Your kids by the sea
No more waiting
No more line
The future ain't coming
It's already time
