This Life Forever Lyrics - Jay-z

Uh-huh 

Blackhand Ent. 

Roc-a-Fella Records 

In association with the streets 

The Black Gangster 

In conjunction 

With everything official 

Yeah 

I ride throught the ghetto windows down halfway 

Halfway out of my mind music on 9, blasting Donny Hathaway 

Me and my niggas spending half the day 

Plotting, how we gon get this math with out getting balst away 

I wake up to the same problems after today 

Life is harsh, niggas gotta? 

Right from the start they place me in the ghetto tender age of nine 

I tend to mine and to surrender to crime 

Wouldnt wish this on nobody like the end of like mine 

Ever since i was quite young a nigga been in divine 

Had to scratch for every plaque, rap aint even all it's cracked up to be 

Niggas don't stack up to me 

Had to hustle in a world of trouble 

Trapped in, clostrophobic the only way out was rapping 

America don't understand it, the demographics i tapped in 

I'm the truest nigga to do this nigga and anything else is foolish 

Like those who stay high, under God's grey skies 

My lyrics is like Bible, made to save lives 

In the midst of all your misery nigga, stay fly 

Never let em see you frown, even smile when you down 

Shit, i floss on my off-days fuck what they all say 

Niggas can't stop me like rumors, i'm too strong 

All-day 

Socks explode and sweatpants pockets is bulging 

Holding it down on the corner with my glock holding 

My spot is golden, drop the price on the coke and 

Drove the competition out and let the dough flow in 

The cops is closing in, i can do the time 

But what's really on my mine, is there's no hoes in the pen 

I play the low and try and make it hard to find me 

Feds still tryna build a case since '93 

I told them, i'm retired but they like whatever 

You know them pigs don't wanna see you get your life together

I'm stuck in this life forever 

The more things change the more they stay the same 

Who am i to change the game? 

You gotta move quick like her-o-in and dope can 

The blocks hotter than it's ever been 

Once again 

Hold the gun at eye level, i aint afraid of conflict 

I let the nine rip, nigga say "hi" to the devil 

I blind with the bezel, i'm in line with the ghetto 

What yall nigga afraid of my mind or the metal 

Niggas tryna subtract my life, my mathematics is precise 

I carry the nine, so fucking with me just aint the answer 

I can't lose when i was young i was like Fresh 

Poppa raised me to chess moves 

And though your gone i'm not bitter you left me prepared 

We got divided by the years, but i got it from here 

Don't sweat that, sounds bump from Marcy to Lefrak 

To that pocket in DC where my man caught his death at 

Over my years i've seen Rooks get tooken by the Knight 

Lose they Crown by tryna defend a Queen 

Checkmate, in 4 moves the Bobby Fischer of rap? in a time where we all move 

Lets face it either your dough chasin, or basing 

Lacing, cops got your face sprung like mason 

Careful, any infultration i'm leaving niggas 

Leaving more than just information 

Photos 

I'm stuck in this life forever 

The more things change the more they stay the same 

Who am i to change the game? 

You gotta move quick like her-o-in and dope can 

The blocks hotter than it's ever been 

Uh 

Real shit
