Lyrics Dead And Gone - Young

(Forever ever) yeah
(Ever-ever, uh)

Heaven got jealous of me knowing a few
And decided to take a few from me
My heart so fucked up, hard to tell
If you really loved me, how you leave like that?
I wouldn't dream like that
Memories in the back of my mind, but I can't lean right back

Gotta keep on forwards
If sorrows, you never saw it
Then allow my words to draw it
Each line bonded with strokes of Picassio
This is more than rap, bro
This is the channel for eye's ever rapid flow

Used to spend whole days tearing up
'Til I figured it was only my hands that was clearing it up
Wrapped the same fingers 'round the bands, still ain't feeling enough
God said he was on call, but these losses is killing his buzz
Pick it up

What they expecting from kids that's only known neglecting?
A mother's love intercepted
Grew through cold ends, disconnected with anything real
Blue lights flash and we stay peddling still

Flipping small packs, just to guarantee some meals
Lost in the world, no one's relating
Get one blessing and the whole hood's hating
Fuck how far you come, they just want what you got
Even if it means your stomachs in knots or you dead on the block

I'm not the type to stay in the same predicament
I'm searching for the change, and I pray to God that it's imminent
And forever lasting like the strings on this beat
Too many lives gone from guns that's sing on these streets
And a lot of clout, not beef
You feel me?

Tried to tell the world I'm sick, but I think they like the ill me
Confusions everywhere, still the real me
Until I'm dead and gone, the truth gon' spill me
Sincerely signed by a fucking real G
Forever Young

And I thought it wouldn't matter when I'm dead and gone
But my words really gonna live on
'Cause they say I'm forever Young
And I thought it wouldn't matter when I'm dead and gone
But my words really gonna live on (yeah)
'Cause they say I'm forever Young

Lord, I was confused by the abuse and even more by its truth
Now I'm searching through older days, how to heal my youth
Seems to be dead ends opened wounds, broken hoes running loose
And niggas want position they too weak to lose
Forgive me

I got side tracked on these road by this side trap
Left my soul in the pen, so I had to revive that just to feel close again
'Cause this world's not my lover or friend
It's just a bitch that fucks you 'til the end and keeps your seeds in it
Leaving them to grieve in it

How can I feel peace when I know the devil still sleeps in it
Creeps in, it 'til we know nothing but loss?
Guess you know you a prophet when the losses make you a boss
When you are the ingredients, what's the need to chase the pot?
Or when you are the rope, what's the need to trace the knot?
I correlate that to the roots of my skin

The old pharaoh had told me just to move within
Auntie says I'm blessed, I speak from the chest
The same breath the officers tried to take
I saw light when they thought I seen death
Now them bitches see debt since my lawyer's called for the check
Thought you all were dogs until I took them pussies to the vet

I'm a survivor and you just proved my position
I'm used to L's, but they ain't used to me winning
So every day I'm on top, your soul rots
Like the pains of my past
May every enemy's head fall as I'm raising my glass
And that's that

And I thought it wouldn't matter when I'm dead and gone
But my words really gonna live on
'Cause they say I'm forever Young
And I thought it wouldn't matter when I'm dead and gone
But my words really gonna live on
'Cause they say I'm forever Young

Caught me by the eyes
(He's forever Young)
Rest in peace one more time
(He's forever Young)
Promise made stronger, yeah
