Last Forever

(albüm: Empire - 2015)

I want this moment for a lifetime,
I mean a lifetime
You give it all til nothing's left
and that's the right time
I been building this foundation for a minute
You ain't gotta be optometrist for you to see my vision
I'm a voice for the voiceless
Like that D boy building his kingdom, brick after brick
That's feeling that God done lost him and thinking he got no options
Don't know what that life will cost him.
I swear that's some of my family y'all
And you know that I do this for y'all
So you see God the only reason I made it at all
I sit down and hear your heart, like a stethoscope
Then I get up on this mic and tell it for the world to know
Unless the Lord building it, I can guarantee it's broke
That's why I be spittin with all this passion when you hear my flow

Now I can tell you 'about my new home
Brand new car that's on chrome
But two years later that's old, everybody's moved on
Gone, I'm tryna make it count with this song
Yeah, with this song

[Hook:]
I want this to last forever, ever, ever, ever [x4]

It's crazy how times change
Tryna redecorate my life, switched the pictures in my mind frames
Went from hiding to seeking, trying' to find faith
Now we speak with our feet and our hands, call it sign lang
You age, we get older turn pages
Corners folded, tryna hold on to our place in this maze
See we gave, years of grown' fast pace it's clear to know
Want a direction we would go and that's what we call His grace
And we're still here
No more letters in them bottles, message still clear
Lived our lives for a throttle, trna fail fair
Ever our foods flash MacDonald's, slow it down
Change up the pitch something like vibrato
But eventually we find this
If you mention all the times that you acted wild and mindless
Rewind it, that's simply just a line that
Minus sign, it change the sum of our lives
Man, this victor is timeless

[Hook:]
I want this to last forever, ever, ever, ever [x4]

I wanna leave something important on this Earth before I die
So many watches I done purchased, but I still ain't buying time
You see doubt is like a brain tumor, it torture those alive
So I'm asking God to please remove this evil from my mind, yeah
I wanna live without these chains on me
So much dirt, I wanna live without these stains on me
Lord I need Your grace on me
God I live ot see Your face only
And by faith only, You know that I want this to last forever

[Hook:]
I want this to last forever, ever, ever, ever [x4]
