Forever Remembered

Uh
Yeah
Forever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Yeah
Vibe with me now

Walk with me on a journey of life
I show you pain, loss, and gain from a luck of pair of dice
Gambling my life for something not guaranteed
Sweating out my mind till I'm feeling fatigue
I know this life has got a price, I'm overwhelmed by the fee
All for the chance to be free to raise up my self-esteem
Holding me back from all of my dreams
I'd rather start a new if that means I can finally be me
I took a vow at seventeen to get it all, I'm starting small
Getting used to always having my back to the wall
Getting used to getting back up every time I fall
Keeping my ears perked up for when they finally call
I'm having visions that they wish I couldn't see
Painting my heart while they playing for greed
I've been aiming all these thoughts into a place of free speech
Showing growth, I'm giving strength to the weak
Oh me, I've been searching for a life thats holy
Got me asking why did God put all this pressure on me
You see a side of me as if I never got to know me
Put me through the rain so you can rain these blessings on me
Fuck what they think 'cause I ain't fucking with that
They done tried holding me back, while I got on the map
They done tried saying I'm wack, while they reciting my raps
I've been writing history as this pen hits the pad
I came back, I'm in full effect
Preaching these raps, 'cause the raps always been in depth
See where I'm at, it's like they can't think I ever left
'Cause I embody the truth in each and every breath
I never break a sweat
And I put it to rest as I get to what I'm chasing
Found my lane, so I had to lay the pavement
Paying homage to everybody who paved a way
It's picture perfect, but now they see that I fit the frame
I did the crime, just look at how I've been killing time
I took whats mine, spilling my heart out onto the rhyme
I train my eyes, learning these ropes as I'm on the climb
And they ain't even get glimpse of my prime
From the concrete, I'm rising to the test
Fuck they heads up, 'cause I've been aiming right to they neck
Long as I'm here, it's clear that I be going at this till the death
And the Lord ain't taking me yet
I take a look at this foundation I laid
Thinking back on those who doubted and said my name in vain
Now I'm back reaching for things I couldn't have attained
Making the effort to see clearer through the haze
This for my family, I pray we see them better days
For all my brothers who held me down in every way
For my city and these streets from which I was raised
I give you all of me, so they remember the name

Yeah
Uh-huh-uh-uh
Yeah
Forever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever?
Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Yeah
I give you all of me so they remember the name
