Forever Begins

Victory won, in a world of Henessey and guns Too young for the marches but I remember these drums The stark reality of wars and battles We fought for ours, caught in ghetto tragedy I talk to my aunt named Mattie Lee And recognize the importance of family Hand me a joint, good music, and room to breathe Those that doubt Com' will soon believe Can't judge the weave, my lady had one I'm more like a fool for soul and passion The price of gas rises, street life is pumpin' fast, lives is I watched Crash and realize that we all survivors No religion or race could ever describe us My guys do dirt, move dirt, but never really talk about it Forever begins just because I thought about it Chorus: Bilal Living once again We live Then you're gone Living once again We live Then you're gone Living once again We live Then you're gone Living once again We live Then you're gone Verse 2: Common Ashes and snowfalls I wonder when the roll call for heaven gon' come Forever gon' come It's a cold world and I can never go numb Look fear in the eyes, say I never gon' run Sooner then later, I know the cheddar gon' come For now I write the world letters to better the young On tree by jury, together we hung Now we let our chains hang and gang bang to maintain 'Ghanistan goin' through the same thing It trickles down, at each other we aim pain I shoot for stars, peace and exclusive cars Through the ride I learned to earn hard Watch gangstas turn God in the midst of war No matter how much I elevate, I kiss the floor It was in the wind when she said Dilla was gone That's when I knew we'd live forever through song Chorus: Bilal Living once again We live Then you're gone Living once again We live Then you're gone Outro: Pops Origin is forever Well, well well Here we are back in the studio again Look at that Hey I don' need no cue cards They got the engineers holdin up the cue cards What that say Oh they say, just talk, don't sing Son, I bet you feel like you and I've been here forever 30 years old red eyes, beholding red eyes I see my world's tears Yeah, origin is forever Every peak will have 2 valleys Hopeful eyes in the comfort Of true protection and admiration of a child That's forever Forever is to strive A place of endearment Forever is what I leave My I-self contribution Damn, what I'm gon' leave Ok... I'll leave my one and only grain of spiritual sand To universal scales of humanity, all humanity Forever is finding a solution to a solution Tsunamis, hurricanes Following the trails of the African slave ships War, war, and more war Floods, Columbine, global warming, earthquakes Another somebody done me wrong, son Virginia Tech, is not an, Oh, what the heck We're still, did you place your one grain Of spiritual sand forever Confusion need a solution Blend and stir, stir and blend The pot of humanity sift the ingredients Of acknowledgment, apology, amendment, atonement We gonna work with the four A's here Forever Pops Common good is forever... God's memory is forever
