Lyrics
[Intro] Forever Sounds so beautiful, don't you agree? Remind me of mama cleaning, word up Grown Folk Music, you know what it is Uh (Forever) Yeah Nottz the Ruler (Forever, motherfuckers) V. Rich Rasta Roots Shit is overdue D. Dawg (Forever) Donald Juice Y'all know what it is Riddim Kidz, Smokin' Needles (Forever, motherfuckers) More hits than the Beatles [Verse 1] Not tryna express sorrow, be mournful acquainted The name of the golden era though, yo, can I live? (Come on) They say it got too much bounce to be melancholy (For real) Listen, them DJs with the crates, spinnin' at the parties (Let's go) From hole in the wall clubs to a neighborhood basement Block parties in Queens New now afro sheen (Uh-huh) Fourteen ounce of Dax pomade Jheri curl, braids Waves, afros, Gumbys, high top fades (Come on) Diadoras, Pumas, Nikes, the brand with three stripes Or the Clarks, Spot-Bilts, British Walkers, and Nikes Shortys lookin' fine (Woo) In the flyest designs (Mm-mm-mm) Spandex is Jordache Starin' at Val Coop's ass (Stop looking) Baby hair, lip gloss shinin' Reason that I got into rhymin' Plus didn't grow to shoot hoops as a pro Needing that old thing back 'cause I'm missin' that energy Requiem for that official, the way hip-hop is supposed to be [Chorus] Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers [Verse 2] Done came a long way with Sha', Jarobi and Tip Couldn't tell us we weren't nice, we knew that we were the ish 'Til the first demo I sold got in the hand of some folks They listenin', faces screwed, "Fuck is this shit? A joke?" I'm thinkin', "Back to the drawing board, sirs" Today, it seems like a blur Never differed from being just who we were Four brothers with a mic and a dream Construction Timbs, loud dashiki pants, word, rather my 501 jeans I felt like the garments that we chose were a stretch A lot of it to the left At photoshoots, I'm rocking Mitchell & Ness Ali Shaheed barking on me, he vexed (Come on, son) Do it again, and I'm making sure Chris Lighty takes it out of your check First album makes noise overseas, finally makin' some G's Paying our rents and now my granny is pleased Up next, Low End Theory, who could relive that energy? Requiem for that official, the way hip-hop is supposed to be [Chorus] Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers [Verse 3] Only rocked on four songs on that first LP No verses written by me Out to prove to all that I could MC Lookin' to battle, what? Who want it with he? Uniform and fatigues, foam mid, top tens like the D Sharpen my pen, Shaheed, Fareed on the beats Second opus complete Check the rhyme, Cheryl's son 'bout to eat (Uh-huh) September 24th, '91 Hey, world, here we come Bassline to "Buggin' Out" soundin' dumb (Uh-huh) Fast forward, November 9th, nine-trey No time for play Pickin' up where left off, straight maraudin' the streets World abuzz from that "Award Tour" With De La Soul, Alkaholiks, Souls of Mischief wildin' out on tour No looking back, it was full steam ahead Mainstream and street cred Had no idea me and my boy would bump heads (Damn) If I could do all over again I'd sit down with my friend Was zero reason why this shit had to end [Chorus] Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers [Verse 4] Hold up, hold up, hold up Cut that shit off, cut that shit off Lack of communication killed my tribe Bad vibes, hence the reason last two albums took a straight nose dive Truth be told, fans kept us alive Despite trials, tribe-ulations, no doubt, we were built to survive Can't speak for everybody or where my dudes' heads are at But I love you motherfuckers, true spit, all facts Deep in my soul, I believe what will be shall be Requiem for a Tribe, 'Ro, Sha', Kamal, and Malik [Chorus] Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, ever? Forever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers
