I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever

We won't do what they tell us
Pill popping just to feel better
Times getting, hard we try keep our head up
If we die, we gon' live forever
We go where they won't let us
We don't do what they tell us
Pill popping just to feel better
If we die, we gon' live forever

I said the kids gonna do what they wanna do
When it get hot out
Hope they make it through summer school
'Cause they get cold-blooded when no 5-0 coming
And when they come around
Don't nobody know nothing
It don't feel safe
Cold case, love lost
Where the shorties got guns, call it the City of God
And they ain't taught how to aim
Watch they friend get killed right there in front of your face
So how the fuck would you feel?
And so I pop pain pills until I feel better
And I'm hustling, now we got that phone bill
And I got me a job but no it won't cut it
So I step on that work because the dope will
All we know is and skyscrapers
Yeah it's concrete
Where the kids at? Let me go speak to 'em
But if you've never seen any mountains or the stars
How you ever 'sposed to know that's the thing you should reach for?

I'm sayin' though, I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever

We won't do what they tell us
Pill popping just to feel better
Times getting hard we try keep our head up
If we die, we gon' live forever
We won't do what they tell us
Pill popping just to feel better
Times getting hard we try keep our head up
If we die, we gon' live forever

We never die that's why my motto still alive
Like Aaliyah's spirit I told you one and a million times
This is a dream, the one I used to fantasize
So I'm looking at me from heaven
Through my grandma's eyes
And I know that she be proud
So you hear me screaming loud
"I'm on a billboard just so you could see me now!"
If she's in the clouds, why pour my drink on the ground
So I pour it up for you, you want Henn' or a Crown?
Chi-Town ambulances don't come around
When shorties' brains blown out
You want me to dumb it down?
That's why we get high, roll trees and Backwoods
It's hard to know you can when you raised off canned goods
All we know is U.S.D.A checks and Save-A-Lot
Never had money so we had to save a lot
But how you gonna tell the kids
They capable to rewrite pop culture
When all they had was pills to pop?

I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
I wish I could live forever
