Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You know?
Uh
[Verse 2]
Take it for what it's worth
My birth was a blessing
Sent to live and die
On earth as a lesson
We each have a star
All we have to do is find it
Once you do, everyone who sees it
Will be blinded (What?)
They'll tell you that you're bright
And say you have a future
When you turn your back
Same cats'll try to shoot you
**** ain't shit
I can live on both sides of the fence
Forget what you do
When you talk, say what you really meant
That's what I thought
Them **** was bluffing
Talk all day, but say
Nothing, it gets so dark
Haze so intense
Since this first rain, it's like it's rained ever since
Never got paid for a rhyme, but I flow
Never got a plate on time, but I grow
Live your life, stay
On the line, but I go
Went from doing crime to being kind
'Cause I know
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
[Verse 4]
What is it about who I am
That makes me unforgettable?
What is it about what I've done
That makes it so incredible?
Mo' money, mo' problems
Well, the fame was worse
I reached out for love
And what came back was thirst
Blessed with the curse, uh
**** don't hear me, uh
**** don't hear me
Y'all **** don't hear me, uh
What'd I just say?
****, go 'head
You see that?
You gots to feel me to catch what I'm saying
Believe that, uh!
But leave that alone
You gon' make a **** wanna be at ya home
Oh, you kinda quiet
With the heat at your dome
If the dog got, he's gonna bring back a bone
'Cause we got the chrome
This is what I live for
We die for
I'm the **** with the high score
You try for
What you **** wanna lie for?
It changes nothing
I'm true for cats
Yet, some strangers bluffing
[Verse 5]
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
[Verse 6]
Now, if I take what He gave me
And I use it right
In other words, if I listen and
Use the light
Then what I say will remain here
After I'm gone, still here
On the strength of a song
I live on
No second guessing on what I stood for
I was good for
Stoppin **** from killing each other
In the hood war
Coming through, showing love
Throwing up
Them cats not throwing love
You know what's up
Dark man, baby
That's my name, and I gots to be
The realest **** up in this game
'Cause ain't no shame
They don't make 'em like this no more
Real to the core
Big heart, but built for war
I stand for what I believe in
Even if what I believe in stops me from breathing
Relatives grieving
But I ain't went nowhere
Listen to the song, I'm right there
[Verse 7]
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
I'm gonna live forever
I'm never gon' die
Only thing I fear is that I'm never gon' fly
Carry my weight, but I'm never gon' cry
Shit, I tell y'all **** straight
'Cause I'm never gon' lie
