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?
