Timeless
Sean A.S. Mengis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I do this for sufferin' children and checks from government buildings
A dope boy who made a check from other than dealin'
What a good feelin' when they know you one in a million
The feds bury half of my niggas under the buildin'
Don't judge my life now, nigga, 'cause I been mad stressed
On tour with The LOX and had a project address
Came from high-risk hazards, you know, Pyrex glasses
A long way to the Prezi from the Timex Classic
I got lines from a year ago that y'all just catchin'
I thought small, then I grew, got to find out it was true
Money change the people around quicker than it change you
You know what BIG said, "I'm good long as the kids fed"
How niggas throw dirt on your name and then beg?
Nah, we don't feel sorry for niggas, get bread
'Cause for them California Kings, we slept in a twin bed (ah)
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever
Feet on the ground, a hundred in the ceiling (hundred in the ceiling)
I'm the last of this breed, you won't last in these streets long
If your only hustle drug dealin' (drug dealin')
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
Nigga, I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
This for hoes that's fuckin' rich niggas, you get a Rollie too
'Cause if I'm up, bitch, we gon' shine together
I do this for my young, more precious than the Moon is to the Sun
I got more weapons than I'll ever need, I shoot you with each one
Talkin' cocaine out of Medellin, my ho straight out the magazine
You drownin' in the fire, while I'm snorkelin' in the gasoline
Steady diet of heavy drugs, roll the Kush, yeah
Like Pirelli tires on Chevy trucks, but still a Goodyear
They got every eye on each one of us, well nigga, look here
I'll come catch your ass on career day and end your career
I got pistols I just cleaned, I been tryna get dirty with you
I got niggas on my team that ain't tryna swap jerseys with you
I pop it, that thirty hit you, them shots from the thirty whistle
Watchin' movies with a bitch that wouldn't watch a commercial with you
I'm higher than everyone but Almighty
I treat the white girl like a wifey, treat her like Aphrodite
Let a Goddess satisfy me while I'm rollin' the tighty
I chop the hands off the clock, that mean I'm timeless, don't time me
I'm forever
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever
Feet on the ground, a hundred in the ceiling (hundred in the ceiling)
I'm the last of this breed, you won't last in these streets long
If your only hustle drug dealin' (drug dealin')
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
Nigga, I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
This for hoes that's fuckin' rich niggas, you get a Rollie too
'Cause if I'm up, bitch, we gon' shine together
I do this for the ones that's barely survivin'
Watchin' me, livin' through me, so I gotta stay thrivin'
This shit a privilege, not promised
Dead honest 'cause I can't let shit live on my conscious
To multiply, I give it my undivided, you gotta move fast, think faster
Lately, my life been a lot of losses and less laughter
To paint the picture, I can't look the same in my before and afters
Honestly, I'm probably gon' be booked 'til I'm on the next chapter
Signed a slave deal, now a nigga up, ownin' my masters
Watch me turn good into great
It's first steps to everything, even takin' leaps of faith
Swear it's labels that's up Bs that owe me Ms
To them, that shit is like Gs, niggas ain't G, greed's a disease
When you don't have a silver spoon, you gotta eat with your hands
God walkin' with me when I'm alone, two sets of feet in the sand
Realize you only as complete as your plan, might bleed from the hands
God body, why would I ever compare me to a man? Huh?
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever
Feet on the ground, a hundred in the ceiling (hundred in the ceiling)
I'm the last of this breed, you won't last in these streets long
If your only hustle drug dealin' (drug dealin')
What's a king to a God, nigga? I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
Nigga, I'm gon' live forever (live forever)
This for hoes that's fuckin' rich niggas, you get a Rollie too
'Cause if I'm up, bitch, we gon' shine together (we gon' shine together)
