Forever - Sa-Roc.mp3

[00:11.31]When I wake up, no makeup, half naked
[00:13.31]I feel like I’m the shit
[00:14.42]Pardon my language, but hang ups do not define the kid
[00:17.31]No, I’m not flawless, I’m scarred up and I’m fine with it
[00:20.26]My body art a laundry list of all of life’s unkindnesses
[00:23.08]But I still sip tea and chant om
[00:25.36]And live free, cuz hardships and heartbreaks, turn to rap epiphanies
[00:29.07]And mom told me stay woke cuz all gold ain’t glistening
[00:31.86]Choose your words wisely cuz the all knowing’s listening
[00:34.86]But, no worries. I’m Gucci
[00:36.38]My thighs a lil juicy
[00:37.68]My dialogue lil awkward
[00:39.24]My idols still move me
[00:40.90]My life is a movie, like Raheem and Mookie
[00:43.59]I’m just trying to do the right thing, hope that it improves me
[00:46.48]My bamboos are costume, sue me
[00:47.71]You’ll be soon accustomed to me
[00:49.32]This the moral, I got royal hemoglobin coursing thru me
[00:52.09]And my strength is now inhuman, I get that straight from my umi
[00:55.07]Signed and sealed from out the grill of yours and truly
[00:57.80]You betta shine on em baby, you a star (You betta)
[01:01.64]Be exactly who you are (Forever)
[01:04.27]Cuz they gon try and change your heart (Don’t let up)

[01:18.63]Cuz you so damn fine, just the way you are
[01:21.65]I ain’t get here overnight
[01:23.32]I was in that mirror like 4-5 times a week
[01:25.06]With my mala beads reciting affirmations like holy rites
[01:27.85]And I still don’t know everything
[01:29.28]But I guess confessions from 8 x 11s in studio sessions
[01:32.10]Seem like it’s only right
[01:33.41]And trust me, this my therapy, **** yo couch
[01:35.26]Finna murk all these Murphy types funny styling me, shut your mouth
[01:38.05]Touch me, I’m slaughtering crews, squads, goons, teams
[01:40.62]The queen is coming to rule your region
[01:42.14]Coming for all of your assets, plus your house
[01:44.25]I ain’t always have it in me
[01:45.43]No tolerance for pretending
[01:46.96]I was 14 yrs old forcing pills down my throat so my baby fat diminished
[01:50.25]Still got the scars from cutting my wrists
[01:52.25]When I thought that life was finished
[01:53.45]Now they remind me what my lows look like now I know the sky’s the limit
[01:56.37]Ok. Never claimed to be perfect
[01:58.38]That’s an impossible dream
[01:59.85]I’m just saying that I’m worth it
[02:01.47]That’s the responsible thing
[02:02.80]Spent half my life trying find my light from outside sources
[02:05.39]While the only voice that mattered came from me
[02:07.97]You betta shine on em baby, you a star (You betta)

[02:31.66]When Roc go in, she too aggressive, that’s too masculine
[02:34.32]And her content lil too obsessive, just relax a bit
[02:37.09]She say she god, that’s narcissistic, just the facts of it
[02:40.09]Nah, I Don’t really eff with female rappers, that shit sacrilege
[02:42.86]Glad I learned early not to internalize every ink up
[02:45.82]Daddy told me with every opinion there comes a sphincter
[02:48.39]And they would rather see dem thots than popularize a thinker
[02:51.48]While them lion/lying archetypes is chasing cat
[02:53.61]I’m trying Sphinx her
[02:54.48]Rap pharoah, skin Caramello, apparel mainly vintage
[02:57.07]Marrow composed of warriors so every verse became a vengeance
[03:00.32]Went thru too much hell to not be fire
[03:02.05]But they still feigning ignorance
[03:03.81]So now I came to collect my just due with remaining interest
[03:06.57]Baby, I’m a star without the Flash, fame or Fenty
[03:09.29]Came out the dark lit up the entire game upon my entry
[03:11.76]Kept it when messed around and gained another century in this
[03:14.94]Now I’m aimed to pop off til my mental chamber’s empty
[03:17.74]I’m unbothered, your standards is irrelevant
