Welcome To Forever

"Welcome To Forever" (feat. Jon Bellion)

This is real life, the only one we get to live

I remember being broke and thinking something gotta give

This is real life, everything we do is legendary

And we gon' do it to the day we in the cemetery

Real life, it feel like I'm dreaming

Used to feel like I was nothing, now my life has meaning

Said this is real life, God damn this is real life

Yeah, I've been fiending for this moment

I've been dreaming 'bout this moment

I guess this is how it feel to have everything you ever wanted

Writing these records like a dissertation

While the fans go crazy from anticipation

Damn, nine years that's a lot of patiences

And now I'm looking at my idols and feeling adjacent

It's hell of a long way from back in the basement

Looking at hip-hop tryna find my placement

I bought my first pair of Jordans at 22

Same year I bought a crib too

Now my face in magazines I used to flip through

And my music on all the sites I used to sift through

Remember meeting Nas for the first time

Shook his hand and he started quoting my lines

Said he a fan, God damn this is my time

I'm a get it, I'm a do it till we prime time

I told him every single day that I be at it

In the studio recording like an addict

He said that real hip-hop shit I had it

Thinking to myself damn man you made Illmatic

This is real life, the only one we get to live

I remember being broke and thinking something gotta give

This is real life, everything we do is legendary

And we gon' do it to the day we in the cemetery

Real life, it feel like I'm dreaming

Used to feel like I was nothing, now my life has meaning

Said this is real life, God damn this is real life

I used wonder what it feel like

Aight, I guess we back again

With another verse of about how much I'm black again

You don't like to blame God for my packaging

Bringing up my race, don't call me a white rapper then

Damn, they judging me by my skin tone

Instead of my talent, man these motherfuckers been wrong

But it's all good I just thought I'd address it

And spell it out for people so they can finally assess it

This is dedicated to anyone with a dream

And a realization of what following it means

Breaking the cycle and not following your genes

That perfect moment when your logic intervenes

And let you know that everything ain't always what it seems

But if you really looking, I promise you'll find your dreams

This is everything I ever wanted, half of y'all won't get it

The other will probably laugh and wonder how I did it

I just spit it from my mind, one word at the time

Take everything I'm going through and put it in a rhyme

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a lot of weight upon my shoulders

But this is my therapy as I flow this

Spilling out my heart, I just hope somebody notice

I've been real from the start and you motherfuckers noticed

Once my name elevated that's when the fame escalated

But on the real, I've grown accustomed to the stares

People watching every move I make like it was theirs

All up in my business, and even in my personal affairs

Now, I know I talk a lot of game, but I ain't trynna sell you

Cause honestly, I could show you better than I could tell you

And even though there's been moments when everything have fell through

We kept it moving, assuming even the greatest fail too

I swear this business shit is do or die

I never contemplated suicide, I'm too alive

In front of thousands, but I'm talking like it's you and I And every day

This is real life, the only one we get to live

I remember being broke and thinking something gotta give

This is real life, everything we do is legendary

And we gon' do it to the day we in the cemetery

Real life, it feel like I'm dreaming

Used to feel like I was nothing, now my life has meaning

Said this is real life, God damn this is real life

Everything I seen, made me everything I am

Everything I do, I'm a man behind mine

Said, welcome to forever

Welcome to forever

Welcome to... forever...
