Live Forever lyrics - Wale (with Anthony Hamilton)

(from "The Birth of a Nation" soundtrack)

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

[Anthony Hamilton:]

I got so much to live for

So much to share

Could take a look in the mirror

And there's no one else to care

I got so much to live for

So much to give

I don't care if we take forever

Forever I'll live

[Wale:]

See my future in my daughter's eyes

And at 45, woulda thought of making my daughter cry

It's real hitters in the district that know me the best

Grew up with some men that's homeless and smoking that wet

Hoping they closer to death

I'm totally over focused and don't you forget

The so-and-so's they put over me, know I'm the best

I'm blessed with the bars, shawty this is God work

I made some A&Rs rich off of hard work

They killing men and they innocent but they killing many

That badge of honor just not enough to conceal they feelings

They offing all us that's just what I'm a tell my daughter partner

Study in school, watch out for cooties in the law department

Hey, I coulda kept my scholarship but hey

And I could have been a robber couldn't I have? Yeah

A 4.5 40, or a 45 40, either way I run for my defense

[Anthony Hamilton:]

I got so much to live for

So much to share

Could take a look in the mirror

And there's no one else to care

I got so much to live for

So much to give

I don't care if we take forever

Forever I'll live

[Wale:]

Another bragger, money don't make ya boy

And lil Chad struggle with makers boy

So I ain't waiting for no reparations

Man who got the patience

Just pay attention, I make my statements, boy

Well, you young and black, you may be lacking motivation

Unless you run or shoot a basket, women out here naked

1 in every 20 of 'em doing good though

That's not a stat, that's actually out my phone book

And I pray tonight night because they hate us and know it

I'm a pray tonight homie my lil baby don't know it

I'm a hold on tight homie for every weapon they folding

How can all lives matter if it's only brothers that's mourning?

Haah, yeah

BLM till we see the end

See I was sort of sleeping until I seen the debt man

Numbers exceed the limit

And now I see it different

Ain't willing to die for it? At least breathe it in

[Anthony Hamilton:]

I got so much to live for

So much to share

Could take a look in the mirror

And there's no one else to care

I got so much to live for

So much to give

I don't care if we take forever

Forever I'll live

I got so much to live for

So much to share

Could take a look in the mirror

And there's no one else to care

I got so much to live for

So much to give

I don't care if we take forever

Forever I'll live
