Mr. Chicken, what up?
If I die right now, wrap me in money
(Gangsta Grillz)

I promised my niggas I'd get they cash right (oh, yeah)
Baby, you love me like it's the last night
Let's make love like it's the last time (oh, yeah, DJ Drama)
I told my niggas, "Let's get money" (let's get money)
Flex on them niggas, I guess they funny (yeah, yeah)
Now she actin' like she want me (want me)
She was around when I was bummy
Now she know I'll flex and I got money
If I die right now, wrap me in money (oh, yeah)
Wrap me in money just like a mummy, just like a mummy

You can tell the opps I'm strapped, I know they want me (want me)
I know they want me (oh, yeah)
Shots fired, blood on his shirt, that's dirty laundry (dirty)
Can't let 'em catch me (no, no)
Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed (goin' top speed)
Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed (yeah yeah)
Baby, I might overdose (oh yeah)
Baby, come here, hold me close (yeah, yeah)
If I'm slippin', will you catch me?

Baby, you love me like it's the last time (last time)
Let's make love like it's the last time (last time)
I promised my niggas I'd get they cash right (I promised)
Baby, you love me like it's the last night (last time)
Let's make love like it's the last time (Montana, last time, ayy, ayy, ayy)

She don't love me like Ciara love Russ (Russ)
Tell her I need space, like Elon Musk (Elon Musk, haan)
She won't be my Rihanna or Beyoncé (Beyoncé)
But she know the rule, like Ashanti (woo)
Outkast built to outlast (outlast)
Came from the bottom, like a bounce-pass (haan)
Coke Boy, might trademark cocaine (haan)
I'll put you on a pack, get your own strain (grrah)
Short temper, 'cause she 5'3 (five)
But she never had a shot like she Kyrie (no vaccine)
I hope she never play me, I hope she never Dr. Dre me
If I die, she might jump in the coffin (woo)
All them other hoes, I got them from a auction (auction)
Ariana, do a grande (ayy), slide with the big boy, like André (haan)

Would it matter if you lose me?
Would it matter if you lose me?
Would it matter if you lose me?
If your heart could choose, would it choose me?

I told my niggas, "Let's get money" (money)
Flex on them niggas, I guess they funny (yeah, yeah)
Now she actin' like she want me (want me)
She was around when I was bummy
Now she know I'll flex and I got money
If I die right now, run me your money (oh, yeah)
Wrap me in money just like a mummy (like a mummy)
Just like a mummy

Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed (goin' top speed)
(Oh, yeah)
Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed (goin' top speed)




(If I'm slippin', will you you catch me?)
(If I'm slippin', will you you catch me?)

Overall Meaning

The song "Forever" by French Montana is a reflection of his fame and success in the music industry. The song speaks about loyalty, love, money, and fame. The opening lyrics, "If I die right now, wrap me in money," showcases French Montana's desire to accumulate wealth and be respected in the game. He goes on to promise his friends that he will make sure their money is right, implying that his success will trickle down to those close to him.


The lyrics "Let's make love like it's the last time" and "Baby, come here, hold me close" convey a sense of urgency, as if the artist knows that his success could be fleeting and he must live in the moment. He reflects on his past struggles and how people who overlooked him when he was "bummy" are now showing interest now that he has money. The lyrics "Can't let 'em catch me (no, no)/ Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed" continue this theme of living in the moment and also showcases the concerns that come with fame and the people who oppose him.

The song ends with the lyrics “Runnin' from the devil when the foreign goin' top speed/ If I'm slippin', will you catch me?” showing the artist's vulnerability and a plea for someone to be there for him when he is struggling, laced with a sense of urgency for fear of losing it all.
