lotta times it seem like you aint gonna make it where you wanna be in life

but yo, yo if ya gotta plan

believe me you gonna get there

you gonna get everything you ever wanted baby, thas ma word



Trust, ma niggas come home from long bids

They check for me before they see their own kids

I open up accounts for 'em, we bounce tour in

major cities, arenas, headline with big time singers

Cop Ferraris with navigational screens

guide us through your hood and any locality, head back to Queens

Piped out seats, Oakwood mb cord speakers

Bumpin' out old shit

That made me think of Old Easters '86 in a le tigre short sleeves

Lees, flip the cuffs up, gettin' fucked up

from Old E, Fresh Fest, niggas got hurt

100 niggas rush the door with Queensbridge tournament shirts

Back then, nobody wore a vest

Pull out razors, you had to put your hand skills to the test

Get your Pumas took, come home barefoot willin'

Look at the chain I snatched with a medallion worth a thousand

Cops rushed the garden made it home smilin'

Half of the crew probably on the island

Project call play puff ball the hoop was made out of a hanger

Playin' corners stick the elevator never thought

Project life was promised nothin' but to die trife

for steppin' on the next man's nikes my motto look for tomorrow

Today is yesterday look at the hood now, I'm mad that it turned out that way

Gats spray these shorties is killers

The older G's taught us well, what's wild now is that they're smaller

And they look at me like I'm on the outside lookin' in

Like 'who's you' when I cruise through

I call shorty took him in watch your friends, get ends

be clever, realize that today's the first day that begins forever



Everything will eventually come to an end

So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better

Cuz nothin' lasts forever



Everything will eventually come to an end

So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better

Cuz nothin' lasts forever



Nice cars, livin' like a star club hoppin'

Poppin' bottles at the bar love shoppin'

Gucci iceberg, coppin' two, three nice furs

One for your wife, one for your freak silver spurs

Rolls Royce too good to be true, houses worth 2.2

Pool parties beautiful view

You made it in life, Forbes Magazine style baggy jeans style

Pass the green while hoes wit' meanwhile

Asses, pretty mommies illest bodies pass glasses

Louis Roderra with Peach Schnapps you just relaxin'

Thinkin' damn wish my niggas could afford this

On the sand at your Malibu house holdin' a cordless

Talkin' to lawyers accountants investments

Money doubles, triples protected hard work you manifested

Worries of failure, when you buried will your familia

Keep your name prosperin' to the maximum

You should live, there's only one life that's the physical

Rich or poor in jail why the fuck should you be miserable

Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin'

Love could have your heart beat skippin', thugs turn to religion

The bitch you love could start to hate you, the shit you use to do escape you

Things that make you laugh represent the past

Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor

Niggas use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more

Your favorite restaurants and favorite stores, they tore 'em down

Turn 'em into shopping malls the hood is like a ghost town

Haunted by souls who thought that time stood still

Just live your life to the fullest, never look back, it's real



Everything must eventually come to an end

So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better

Cuz nothin' lasts forever, ya know



I said everything eventually comes to an end

So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better

Cuz nothin' lasts forever

Ya know, ya now, nothin' lasts forever ya know let it go, let it go
