“Tomorrow” is the 10th song on Tyler, The Creator’s 7th studio album “CHROMAKOPIA.” Tyler is known for always making the 10th track a two-part song on his albums. However, this time Tyler dropped “CHROMAKOPIA.“ after a year prior to “CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale,” and also did not put a two-part song on the album.
The first teaser for this song was shared on the Chromakopia TikTok page in a 46 second snippet uploaded on October 24, 2024.
This song has a very tender Tyler inflection, singing in mostly a high key naturally rather than pitching as seen in Igor, but there’s still pitching on some vocals.
In this song, Tyler talks about the topic of him starting a family and putting aside his music career.
The intro of his mother’s voice message is her speaking to Tyler saying that she want’s a grandchild from him. Hearing this message Tyler thinks about what his mother said and can’t decide if he should put his music career down to have a family, or continue to peruse his music and continue to procrastinate the idea, hence the title “Tomorrow”.
The intro also samples the 1971 song Summertime by Rosinha De Valença.
“Tomorrow” lyrics
[Intro: Bonita Smith]
(Give it up)
Nigga, I’m gettin’ old and I need a grandchild, please (Give it up)
Just one, please, all I need is one (Give it— Give it up)
We need a little Ty-Ty walkin’ around here, okay?
We need a little dookie booty runnin’ around here, okay?
[Verse 1: Tyler, The Creator]
My mother’s hands don’t look the same
These jet black strands are turning gray
I’m gaining weight, I’d rather rest
The thought of children, it brings me stress
Because time is changing
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
But don’t you wait on me (Don’t), I’ll be fine
But don’t you wait on me, I’ll be finе (Don’t, don’t)
Don’t you wait for me
‘Cause time got nothing right, don’t, uh (Don’t)
[Post-Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
Worry ’bout it tomorrow (Don’t, don’t)
Worry ’bout it tomorrow
Can you worry ’bout it tomorrow? Ayy, ayy, ayy (Tomorrow)
Worry ’bout it tomorrow (Tomorrow)
[Verse 2: Tyler, The Creator]
Yеah, what’s gotten into me? Nah, that ain’t the energy
That version of T that you knew was a memory
Who is that? You niggas get too attached to hear it
Fear it, face clear, few wrinkles on my spirit
Now, cousin, this ain’t no tub and
I don’t like cages, I’d rather be floodin’
Thought this shit out, I pop out with that oven
Tell that new version of me that I’m comin’, yeah
My brodie had another baby, that’s like number two (Number two)
My homegirl, her knot tied, she like thirty-two (Thirty-two)
They sharin’ pictures of these moments, shit is really cute
And all I got is photos of my ‘Rari and some silly suits (Man)
Mhm, will I flip the switch and finally settle down?
Mhm, or go the other way and keep my panties down?
Uh-huh, I’m too paranoid, so I’ma air it out
And any pressure that you puttin’ on me, I’ma tear it down
[Chorus: Tyler, The Creator]
Don’t you wait on me (Don’t you wait on me), I’ll be fine
Don’t you wait on me (Don’t you wait on me), I’ll be fine
Don’t you wait for me
‘Cause time got nothing right
