[Chorus]

Nothing lasts forever, but we hope and pray

All the bills from yesterday don't post today

Try to treasure everything I have, but still feel throwed away

I can't keep my balance, I ain't quite learn how to rollerskate

Tryna dodge the obstacles on my block, shit like a roller rink

Fuck the other side, we spinnin' back like we our own DJ

My lil' homie got hit with a bullet like he OBJ

I want you to go be great, but watch who you associate

Life's a bitch, but it is what it is, shit ain't gon' always go your way


[Verse]

Some shit just ain't gon' work out, some shit just ain't meant to be

You just gotta make your peace, you'll shake back eventually

Hopefully, knife they put in your back, this time don't go too deep

Really sometimes you just gotta trust your gut, don't overthink

Everyone that's with you can't come along for the ride

Sometimes we go ambitious and our friendships don't survive

Then we grow apart, get too in our feelings and go overboard

Just because we went our separate ways don't mean let's go to war

Niggas can't coexist no more just 'cause we don't clique no more

Now we kill and die over pride, it's a deadly sport

But we gladiators, we go hard or we go home in shame

Watch your brothers fall in battle, pray you never know that pain

Products of the products that we profit from, we all to blame

Call my plug up with a guilt conscience 'cause I thought I changed

I watched mama struggle, thought the hustle was the only way

Someday I gotta go, but when I go, I hope it's from old age

One day, I gotta go, but when I go, I hope it's from old age

Yeah


[Chorus]

Nothing lasts forever, but we hope and pray

All the bills from yesterday don't post today

I try to treasure everything I have, but still feel throwed away

I can't keep my balance, I ain't quite learn how to rollerskate

Tryna dodge the obstacles on my block, shit like a roller rink

Fuck the other side, we spinnin' back like we our own DJ

My lil' homie got hit with a bullet like he OBJ

I want you to go be great, watch who you associate

Life's a bitch, but it is what it is, shit ain't gon' always go your way
