Songtext zu 'Forever' von Sa-Roc

When I wake up, no makeup, half naked, I feel like I’m the shit
Pardon my language, but hang ups do not define the kid
No, I’m not flawless, I’m scarred up and I’m fine with it
My body art a laundry list of all of life’s unkindnesses
But—I still sip tea and chant om, and live free, cause hardships and heartbreaks, turn to rap epiphanies
And mom told me stay woke cuz all gold ain’t glistening
Choose your words wisely cuz the all knowing’s listening
But, no worries. I’m Gucci
My thighs a lil juicy, my dialogue lil awkward, my idols still move me
My life is a movie, like Raheem and Mookie, I’m just trying to do the right thing, hope that it improves me
My bamboos are costume, sue me
You’ll be soon accustomed to me
This the moral, I got royal hemoglobin coursing thru me
And my strength is now inhuman, I get that straight from my umi
Signed and sealed from out the grill of yours and truly

You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cause they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cause You so damn fine, just the way you are
You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cause they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cause You so damn fine, just the way you are

I ain’t get here overnight
I was in that mirror like 4-5 times a week, with my mala beads reciting affirmations like holy rites
And I still don’t know everything
But I guess confessions from 8 by 11s in studio sessions seem like it’s only right
And trust me, this my therapy, fuck yo couch, Finna murk all these Murphy types funny styling me, shut your mouth
Touch me, I’m slaughtering crews, squads, goons, teams, the queen is coming to rule your region, coming for all of your assets, plus your house
I ain’t always have it in me
No tolerance for pretending
I was 14 yrs old forcing pills down my throat so my baby fat diminished
Still got the scars from cutting my wrists when I thought that life was finished
Now they remind me what my lows look like now I know the sky’s the limit
Ok. Never claimed to be perfect
That’s an impossible dream
I’m just saying that I’m worth it
That’s the responsible thing
Spent half my life trying find my light from outside sources, while the only voice that mattered came from me

You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are
You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are

When Roc go in, she too aggressive, that’s too masculine
And her content lil too obsessive, just relax a bit
She say she God, that’s narcissistic, just the facts of it
Nah, I Don’t really eff with female rappers, that shit sacrilege
Glad I learned early not to internalize every ink up
Daddy told me with every opinion there comes a sphincter
And they would rather see dem thots than popularize a thinker
While them lion/lying archetypes is chasing cat, I’m trying Sphinx her
Rap pharoah, skin Caramello, apparel mainly vintage
Marrow composed of warriors so every verse became a vengeance
Went thru too much hell to not be fire, but they still feigning ignorance
So now I came to collect my just due with remaining interest
Baby, I’m a star without the Flash, fame or Fenty
Came out the dark lit up the entire game upon my entry
Kept it 100, messed around and gained another century in this
Now I’m aimed to pop off til my mental chamber’s empty
I’m unbothered, your standards is irrelevant
I might eff around and rock a baldie all just for the hell of it
They been trying to martyr me for ages cuz of my melanin
So now I’m soaking uv rays with shea slathered on my abdomen
My dude, I’m magic, my gang is goddess, my mood is savage
That’s Genghis Khan, these bars moving mountains, my range astonishing
Dangerous sonnets like raining comets, they blazing-trails thru planets, all hail this kind of amazing
That’s right, we’ll call it self love
Discovered I was dope, and indulged like upscale drugs
And u could call me arrogant if that’s gon help love
But if you trying to knock me down, your demolitions failed, bruv

You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are
You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who u are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are
You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who you are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are
You betta shine on em baby, you a star. You betta
Be exactly who uyo are-Forever
Cuz they gon try and change your heart. Don’t let up
Cuz You so damn fine, just the way you are
