Lyrics: (Verse 1)
I promise we gone live how we want
I promise we gone get all we want
Split the bill, naw forget the bill
Look, We gone buy the whole resturant
Remember way back when we gone say back then
We'll be the ones that will have arenas packed in
Livin big time yup big time to the point were our name coulda been Big Ben
No matter what they gave I'da neva gave in wit out sun shine I neva caved in.
I'm finally famous til the lights is faded then the crowd is jaded when I hop on stages

(Hook)
(Hey) You don't live for life so live your life when you live and die look back and say you did it right When you get it right I hope it lasts for life

(Chorus) (X2)
Last for life
Last for life
Last for life
Man I wish that this could last for life
(Lookin back) Lookin back on all we saw who woulda thought we'd get this far You search your life for heaven on earth when you get it right hope it lasts for life

(Verse 2)

I promise they gone all try and be me
I promise they gone know who we are
I promise we that gone be successful with or without the college degree
Remember old head use to tell my momma That boy will be somethin one day I promise
So they should not expect nothin less then to see us set like dine nets I guess and we all waitin for tomorrow and sometimes without actin we gotta deal with drama
Hey to get these dreams I figure its gone take more than nyquil and pajamas
But they know whats up We hoppin out and they know it's us
When we get it right look back and say that we did it right and hope it lasts for life

(Chorus) X2
Last for life
Last for life
Last for life
Man I wish that this could last for life
(Lookin back) Lookin back on all we saw who woulda thought we'd get this far You search your life for heaven on earth when you get it right I hope it lasts for life
