Nas - Nothing Lasts Forever lyrics

A lot of times it seems like, you ain't gon' make it where you wanna be in life But, yo if you got a plan, believe me you gon' get there You gon' get everything you ever wanted baby That's my word Trust, my n***as 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 sh** That made me think of Old Easters '86 in a le tigre short sleeves Lees, flip the cuffs up, gettin' f**ed up from Old E, Fresh Fest, n***as got hurt 100 n***as rush the door with Queensbridge tournament shirts Back then, nobody wore a vest Pull out razors, you had to put your hand sk**s 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 k**ers 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 Pa** the green while hoes wit' meanwhile Asses, pretty mommies illest bodies pa** gla**es Louis Roderra with Peach Schnapps you just relaxin' Thinkin' damn wish my n***as 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 f** should you be miserable Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin' Love could have your heart beat skippin', thugs turn to religion The b**h you love could start to hate you, the sh** you use to do escape you Things that make you laugh represent the past Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor n***as 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
