Queen & Slim

Hmm Say you wanna live forever, huh? I mean, for real for real? I mean You really wanna live forever? Hmm Shit, let's see I put the foreground to life with my vision board Background drowning out from sirens and white noise Rhythm fairly faded, still I caught it and kept my poise It's not to be debated, either be great or be destroyed Fuck your conversation, if it's basic, we keep it coy Was fuckin' off of basic instincts, feelings premature Shaft made of gold so just imagine what's at my core Like if you got to know me, you would know I'm a paramour Just looking for Inamorata, a rider, a woman My generation product of narcotics for numbing It's fathers early retired, tired mamas becoming daddies It's gun violence, your son dyin' for nothin' And your daughters be suckin' dick 'fore they even get they first kiss And nobody catchin' the hint, she ain't cryin' for nothin', I'm sayin' I mean she gotta be cryin' for somethin', I'm sayin' I mean she gotta be, we rob society Dreams of ghetto ballin' and callin' Iso' regardless of what court I'm in Point out the judge for bearing grudge to my melanin Point blank, period, the shit's irrelevant Done playing humble, I'm arrogant, I'm better than it Act like you know a nigga gifted You never found a broken branch from underneath my Christmas With all the woulds on the wishlist, Santa must've missed it And niggas never would, 'cause I'm different Oh, don't you wanna live forever? (Don't you wanna live forever?) 'Cause we can live forever together (We can live forever together) Only if you (You) Really wanna live forever (Live forever) But we can live forever together (Forever together) Just come fly with me Strictly for the love of the music, I got involved and evolved It don't matter where I'm from 'cause my skin is my logo These cops tryna lock me up or kill me with a four-four Ain't no justice in the system, 'specially for another nigga 'Specially on your second strike and when that third one come quicker 'Specially when he dreams bigger and he know he can't switch up Though his people might switch up Only way it's gettin' clearer is by lookin' in the mirror But yo, even you would think I was odd if I told you that we was gods But a conversation with Taj and he clearly would just oblige You decide, 'cause what really matters is what's inside I just look 'em straight in they eyes and I can see spiritual smiles They visions, they tell us lies, we are not to be itemized We are not to be idolized, see the body is a disguise I'ma always fly, I promise to never die Forever I will be immortalized, what's up? Oh, don't you wanna live forever? (Nobody gave us somethin' to believe in) 'Cause we can live forever together (I mean that for real) Only if you (You) Really wanna live forever (Live forever) But we can live forever together (Forever together, uh, yo) Just come fly with me Blood of a thousand hearts coursing through our veins This black pride, don't shuck and jive to entertain Soul of a lion, suited to triumph all of our days and reign Like a drop of freedom fallin' on slaves We shall remain the people's champion, glorifying the Pantheon MLK with an AK, AKA Malcolm X-cellence Bulletproofing my melanin, stepping through shadow valley of death No weapon that's formed could harm me you uninformed I live in Harmony Bj giving us harmony be Fuck ya authority Coming from a minority Speaking for the majority Speaking to you Speaking the truth the first priority Fuck what you do Strap up ya boots and move accordingly It's up to you Look in the mirror and look ahead You see a leader instead If not then you been mislead If not then I know the way Stay the course we ain't to far away Oh, don't you wanna live forever? (Can I be your legacy?) 'Cause we can live forever together (You already are) Only if you (You) Really wanna live forever (Live forever) But we can live forever together (Forever together) Just come fly with me (Just come fly with me) Just come fly with me Just come fly with me
