Don't do that
Don't do this
Don't do a...
(Freeman)
I get the petrol, don't forget to buy a couple of sweets
Sometimes I like to treat myself, if only once a week
Open the door, get in the car, sit in the driver's seat
Peer into the rear view mirror and I'm staring back at me
When I say me, I don't mean me as in my own reflection
Hardly slept, so I suspect I'm staring at some weird projection
My brain is made to tell me alcohol abuse is wrong
Whereupon I turn around and realise something's going on
Look, trust me son, this ain't a con, you have to trust your eyeballs
No, those eyes are fine because they're mine so don't be sidled
You're slightly balder now and yes, your pubes are turning grey
But you've travelled back in time cause there's important shit to say
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future

So I'm sat in the front and sat in the back
As you do, having a chat
Asking 'bout the change in rap and where the music's at
I'm careful not to tell myself entirely everything
I've come here just to warn me as to what the future brings
Wait, listen, El, surely you can see that you're me
I'm you, look at the lips, you really can't ignore me
I know that in that bag there's ginger beer and Curly Wurlys
It's kinda hurly-burly but you have to believe my story
I know you tasted glory, was all hunky-dory
But you're standing on the borderline
Today's the day you're sure to find
You don't know where to draw the line
This is the start of your decline
That's why I came back exactly 15 years before your sordid crime
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future
I'm freaking out, I've been sneaking 'round
Feeling edgy 'bout the fact that I've seeked me out
I'm freaking out, I've been sneaking 'round
And I'm sat inside my car and started speaking 'bout
What's yet to come (What's yet to come)
Well, it's H-O-M (What's yet to come)
It seems that most of what the future has to hold for me is decent
But recently, my future self was caught having a threesome
One of the girls was underage with fake identification
The other one was legal but her father's occupation
Was head of a group of hoodlums from just south of the Thames
Entire episode was captured from a hidden lens
They found some substances inside the glovebox of my car
So I'm front page of The Sun, The Mirror and The Daily Star
I'm either going down for 20, or thugs are out to get me
My walls are 'bout to crumble which is why I went and sent me
Back in time, prevent the crime, avoid Jane and Amy
It seems my future self's a prick, but really, who can blame me?
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future
Don't do that (No), they'll try to dupe ya
Don't do this (Nah), they'll try to shoot ya
Don't do a... (Freeman), she didn't suit ya
Today I met myself and I told me 'bout my future
