Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

No, no, no no, no, no

I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time

I can see the hate in they faces
I know these niggas want to take my place
But if you run up on me, fo'nem spray
I won't stop until a mil is in my bank
Remember when I didn't have a thing
I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces

Lil nigga I remember
Now my diamonds colder than December
If I want it, I'ma go get it
Nigga I'm a go getter
Tryna run my bands up to the ceiling
Won't stop until a nigga touch a million
I been tastin' blue faces
Put the metal to a nigga's mouth
Now the nigga look like he got braces
Been seein' all these different faces
I been seein' all these niggas hatin'
But if he want smoke I won't change him, no

I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces
I know these niggas want to take my place
But if you run up on me, fo'nem spray
I won't stop until a mil is in my bank
Remember when I didn't have a thing
I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces
I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces
I know these niggas want to take my place
But if you run up on me, fo'nem spray
I won't stop until a mil is in my bank
Remember when I didn't have a thing

Tick tock, my time has come
Heard that tick tock
Got a big Glock, play with my money
Let off big shots
She's a big thot, you're a dummy
Cuffed a big thot
I told her kick rocks, young nigga
I got big gwap (big bands)

I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces
I know these niggas want to take my place
But if you run up on me, fo'nem spray
I won't stop until a mil is in my bank
Remember when I didn't have a thing
I can't live forever but
Forever I'm gon' shine, yeah
I knew that I would make it
I just had to wait my time
I see all these different faces
And they changin' every time
I can see the hate in they faces

I know these niggas want to take my place
But if you run up on me, fo'nem spray

I won't stop until a mil is in my bank
Remember when I didn't have a thing
