Forever - Towkio, Victor Kwesi Mensah

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

We won’t do what they tell us

Pill popping just to feel better

Times getting hard we try keep our head up

If we die, we gon' live forever

We go where they won’t let us

We don’t do what they tell us

Pill popping just to feel better

If we die, we gon' live forever

I said the kids gonna do what they wanna do when it gets hot out

I hope they make it through summer school

'Cos they get cold-blooded when no 5−0 coming

And when they come around

Don’t nobody know nothing

It don’t feel safe

Cold case, love lost

When the shorties got guns, call it the City of God

And they ain’t taught how to aim

Watch they friend get killed right there in front of your face

So how the fuck would you feel?

And so I pop pain pills until I feel better

And I’m hustling now we got that phone bill

And I got me a job but no it won’t cut it

So I step on that work 'cos the dope will

All we know is now and laters and skyscrapers

Yeah it’s concrete

Where the kids at?

Let me go speak to them

But if you’ve never seen any mountains or the stars

How you ever 'sposed to know that’s the thing you should reach for?

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

We won’t do what they tell us

Pill popping just to feel better

Times getting hard we try keep our head up

If we die, we gon' live forever

We won’t do what they tell us

Pill popping just to feel better

Times getting hard we try keep our head up

If we die, we gon' live forever

We never die that’s why my motto still alive

Like Aaliyah’s spirit I told you one and a million times

This is a dream, the one I used to fantasize

So I’m looking at me from heaven

Through my grandma’s eyes

And I know that she be proud

So you hear me screaming loud

«I'm on a billboard just so you could see me now!»

If she in the clouds I pour my drink on the ground

So I pour it up for you, you want Henn' or a crown?

Chi-Town ambulances don’t come around

When shorties' brains blown out

You want me to dumb it down?

That’s why we get high roll trees and backwoods

It’s hard to know you can when you raised off canned goods

All we know is U.S.D.A checks and Save-A-Lot

Never had money so we had to save a lot

So how you gonna tell the kids

They capable to rewrite pop culture

When all they had was pills to pop?

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever

I wish I could live forever
