Dallas Green - Live Forever lyrics

[Intro: Dallas Green] The time will come when we are all condemned for what we've done The time will come [Verse 1: Shad] I say the times begun to pay for our crimes no time to run It's sundown these days are the final ones Looking dumbfounded staring in the eye of a gun And we all scared to die we all fear the pallbearer All scared to cry we all fear our salt tears But why when we live it's so miserable Can't get along why is forgiving so difficult Why we live alone, what we living for is critical Someone give some hope that's breath for our living souls Even if your physical can't breathe stand up and lead Me and my band of brothers advance under siege Move towards the future the commander and chief Plant a flag on this soul call if land of the free Every day both rich and poor wonder what we living for [Hook: Dallas Green] We're gonna live forever (What we gonna live for) We're gonna live forever (What we gonna live for) We're gonna live forever (What we gonna live for) We're gonna live forever (What we gonna live for) We're gonna live We're gonna live [Verse 2: Shad] You never know how your legend's gonna grow later When we go it's our ghost that they are so afraid of I try to flow greater cause most conscience sold food for thoughts Like tofu: no flavor So when I roll through it's so smooth like a pro skater Or a boat cruise bringing change toll booth Player thought they told you I'm old school Student of the game let me show you a whole new grade up All my single ladies here's a couple lines Love takes two people love one mind Here's one year if you give it six months You only live once this is double time Essentially bring the energy of Busta Rhymes Soul doesn't die like Curtis on touch the sky [Bridge: Dallas Green] And when the smoke finally clears we're gonna rise above the ash We're gonna live We're gonna live We're gonna live forever (What we gonna live for) [Hook] [Breakdown: Shad] Like this I can't sweat trying to make the coolest impression Trying to get power is a foolish obsession Why use talent as a tool for oppression A real king ain't got to rule with a weapon Dog what if we went to school for possession instead of jail They say to stop the crazy talk Shad we never will I guess I still believe love can never fail Cross eyes on heaven looking crazy as hell Maybe I dwell too much on legacy, destiny Like I could ever read whats on the headstone ahead of me But in my head I see we are carving the letters Everyday that thought makes me work hard for the better The truth comes out but it starts at the center The heart of the matter is a matter of the heart The heart's made of matter that you can't measure That matters beyond measure like light when it travels in the dark
