Forever Young

Uh

[Hook]
Forever young, we all wanna be forever young
But age gon' come, you gotta get it 'til it's done
So make wishes that never come
Of making it out the slums
And scraping up for the crumbs for air to fill up they lungs

Uh

[Verse 1]
I'm on a mission, and I ain't slowin' down
'Til there's enough to go around, I gotta hold it down
You know the sound, feedin' my brain food
I open up books and jewels to change the rules, time movin' too fast to snooze
We must build upon our foundation
And break away from the chains of the ghetto hatred
Kings killing kings, cause Martin Luther King had a dream
You know what I mean, can't let our ancestors' work go in vain
I dip my pen in the pain
Just take it easy youngin stay in ya lane
He said "fuck that I'm hoppin' the train"
I said dang cuz we live in a game, and real shit, I be feelin' his pain
Keep ya head up, continue movin' on and stay strong
Your big break won't be long
Life is all about preference, you can choose to treat ya life precious
Used to do the swishas sweet 'til I switched to dutches
Some people lust for the dollar bill
Put your integrity behind a skill, always got a lot to build
Every day another day in the field
Shit is real, make sure you walk with your shield
I'm tapped in with the ancients, leaving no knowledge vacant, strugglin', strivin' to make it
I hold the code sacred, I play the game 'til I break it
You never gotta fake it 'til you make it

[Hook]
Forever young, we all wanna be forever young
But age gon' come, you gotta get it 'til it's done
So make wishes that never come
Of making it out the slums
And scraping up for the crumbs for air to fill up they lungs
