Nothing Lasts Forever

Lot of times it seems like you ain't gon'
 Make it where you wanna be in life
 But, yo, yo, if you got a plan, believe me, you gon' get there
 You gon' get everything you ever wanted, baby
 That's my word
 Trust
 My niggas come home from long bids
 They check for me before they see their own kids
 I open up accounts for 'em, we bounce tourin'
 Major cities, arenas, headline with big time singers
 Cop Ferraris with navigational screens
 Guide us through your hood and any locality, then back to Queens
 Piped out seats, Oakwood MB cord speakers
 Bumpin' out old shit
 That made me think of Old Easters '86 in a Le Tigre short sleeves
 Lees, flip the cuffs up, gettin' fucked up
 From Old E, Fresh Fest, niggas got hurt
 Hundred niggas rush the door with Queensbridge tournament shirts
 Back then, nobody wore a vest
 Pull out razors, you had to put your hand skills to the test
 Get your Pumas took, come home barefoot, wylin'
 Look at the chain I snatched with the medallion worth a thousand
 Cops rushed, the God done made it home smilin'
 Half of the crew? Prob'ly on the island
 Project call play puff ball the hoop was made out of a hanger
 Playin' corners, stick the elevator never thought
 Project life would promise nothin' but to die trife
 For steppin' on the next man's Nikes, my motto, "Look for tomorrow
 Today is yesterday look at the hood now
 I'm mad that it turned out that way
 Gats spray, these shorties is killers
 The older G's taught us well, what's wild now is that they're smaller
 And they look at me like I'm on the outside lookin' in
 Like who's you when I cruise through
 I call shorty took him in watch your friends, get ends
 Be clever, realize that today's the first day that begins forever
 Yeah, yeah, everything will eventually come to an end
 So try to savor the moment, 'cause time flies, don't it?
 The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
 'Cause nothin' lasts forever, ya know? Yo
 Everything will eventually come to an end
 So try to savor the moment, 'cause time flies, don't it?
 The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
 'Cause nothin' lasts forever (yo)
 Nice cars, livin' like a star, club-hoppin'
 Poppin' bottles at the bar, love shoppin'
 Gucci iceberg, coppin' two, three nice furs
 One for your wife, one for your freak
 Silver-spurs Rolls-Royce, too good to be true, houses worth two point two
 Pool parties, beautiful view
 You made it in life, Forbes Magazine style, baggy jeans style
 Pass the green while hoes wit' meanwhile
 Asses, pretty mommies illest bodies pass glasses
 Louis Roderra with Peach Schnapps you just relaxin'
 Thinkin', "Damn, wish my niggas could afford this"
 On the sand at your Malibu house holdin' a cordless
 Talkin' to lawyers, accountants, investments
 Money doubles, triples, protect it: hard work you manifested
 Worries of failure, when you buried is your familia
 Gon' keep your name prosperin' to the maximum?
 You should live, there's only one life, that's the physical
 Rich or poor or in jail, why the fuck should you be miserable?
 Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin'
 Love could have your heartbeat skippin', thugs turn to religion
 The bitch you love could start to hate you
 The shit you used to do escape you
 Things that make you laugh represent the past
 Reminisce the block, gamble Gs on the floor
 Niggas use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more
 Your favorite restaurants and favorite stores, they tore 'em down
 Turned 'em into shopping malls, the hood is like a ghost town
 Haunted by souls who thought that time stood still
 Just live your life to the fullest, never look back, it's real
 Everything must eventually come to an end
 So try to savor your moments, 'cause time flies, don't it?
 The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
 'Cause nothin' lasts forever, ya know?
 I said, everything will eventually come to an end
 So try to savor your moments, 'cause time flies, don't it?
 The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
 'Cause nothin' lasts forever, ya know? Ya know?
 Nothin' lasts forever, you know?
 Let it go, let it go
