Hey
Still we holding the fort, we forever
I've almost been around the world - it's forever me
Wish all this pain turned pleasure
But the game isn't fair
You got to stay down when it gets tough
Only real recognize real, yeah
I'm still that same kid
Loyal to my brothers - that's a fact
And I can't change it
From the start we came walking
Now we marching, be forever
Even when I'm dead and gone
Still they gonna remember us
That's to the grave
Put it on my neck, 'cause that's my life now
Made a promise to myself
I never hesitate or lie down
But I got a street - what you expect of me?
Give up on my dreams and let it fly away?
Should I let it go and never try again?
Give up on my dreams and let it fly away?
Let it go and never try again?
You can take the out of your car
But not the drive out of me
Had to go out there and get a team
Forever I, forever
They said we would never know
We unsprung generals
See you doing things - you would have to wait and see
Had to clean the dirt out - it was in the sheets
Wouldn’t want to turn out like my mother’s genes
We got tracks that'll blow in my way
You won’t see them coming like a smack in the face
Holding my tongue sometimes
Had to sweat it off
Now we big boys with a plan
'Bout to pop it off
Don’t believe what they told
Gotta see it
If it’s true, when I’m talking, then I speak it
Hold it together like we don’t got problems
Everyone’s got one
Put it away, turn the lights off
Wrapped up
Things get different when the time goes on
I got pressure every day
But I don’t stress it
I got family that relying on me
Too busy for the hate - I had to move on
You can take the out of your car
Take the cocker out of me
Had to go out there and get a team
Forever I, forever
Stopped waking up in that green room
Now I'm sliding
Back from the shack, towards the stage
The crowd is screaming
I’m shy - MJ my beats
I hit my dance and tell them, “Beat it”
Dodging all them flashing bangers
On your big screen
Yeah, we lost one
As if we never been the big three
46 to that 59 up in a Jesus big team
Run it up for the pros, and I won’t stop
We all eating
G up if you don’t want to bag up
Dropping every year to let them know
That we ain't ever playing catch up
Been doing this so long
I guarantee you all’ll pack up
Got many up in the vault
You need a backup
Don’t key up if you don’t want to bag up
Dropping every year to let them know
That we ain't never playing catch up
Been doing this for long
I guarantee you all’ll pack up
Many up in the files - need a backup
You can take the out of your car
Take the clock out of me
Had to go out there and get a weapon
I - forever
You can take the out of your car
Take the out of me
Had to go out there and get a team
Forever I
Forever
