It was all just an atom At the beginning of time Dark, in the pattern Of the bliss I'm tryna find Calm, reminiscent of the fuel Before the fire rise Up twin magicians In the flame' of our desire Wild in the essence Of a life I fantasised A home where depression Never thinking to reside A stone hearth open To consume my colder ties Where I bogart hope In holding you in hopeless times I'd go far knowing time With you is more than present Immortal future And a gift from the heavens Growing up, all I ever Felt was emptiness And so I'm on guard like Everybody's out for red When it's black in the end And each shade tell a lesson Sour how we turned Heartache be the essence Nothing lasts forever Yeah I learnt from the pendant That was tight around my neck For hella years before it perished Now I'm seeing so clear feels Like I'm vision itself Trying to trigger the hope dying To finishing spells In all my hitters in bandos The killers, the cats, hoes And purest of trapped Souls looped in living hells I could be mixing the mag snow Or cleaning up bank rolls But picking on fast dough Ain't favouring naan Only thing that's a fact Know the realest can outgrow The agony that flows From labouring crumbs (cause) Nothing ever lasts, nothing ever holds Not even the highs, not even the lows When the clouds cry, only thing for sure Nothing lasts forever no, no Nothing lasts forever nah Nothing lasts forever nah Nothing lasts forever nah, nah, nah Nothing lasts forever nah On every soil I ever seen I been watering my seeds Really thought I'm making Leaps till I fell to concrete Though in every inch a flower's Blossoming to be I'm just tryna be me So **** expectancy They keep judging you to ground And its hard to be forgiving Envying your crown Cause these dark shades t Hey gimmick's been tearing Them apart now they can't peak to limit Everything is hourglassed And I war with every minute How I'm tackling my mind just To put myself to bed Shoulders flattened on the matt' You'd think I been a wrestler Couple referees aloud All night up in my head Noise polluting as a crowd Judging me for what I ain't Opinions run high But actions on the run away Telling me white lies Afraid to trust their gut again Paper dreams die if You're shook of paper cuts I'm lonely in my thoughts cause Every move a murder charge Man our legends daily dying Even they get left behind Only a bunch of rhymes Making them immortalised Deeper sense of life's Never easy to revive In this race to feel alive Ain't no beating The sands of time Wounds heal, time flies Only guarantee: Demise Find peace in knowing That we eventually expire Better dream blind When you wish for better Remember dandelions They don't fly forever Nah Nothing ever lasts Nothing ever holds Not even the highs Not even the lows When the clouds cry Only thing for sure Nothing lasts forever no, no Nothing lasts forever nah Nothing lasts forever nah Nothing lasts forever nah, nah, nah Nothing lasts forever nah
