(Forever) Sound so beautiful, don't you agree? Remind me of mama cleaning, word up (forever) Grown Folk Music, you know what it is Uh (forever), yeah Nottz the ruler, V. Rich, Rasta Roots (forever, motherfuckers) Shit is overdue, Diggy Dawg, Donald Juice Y'all know what it is We're them kids Smokin' Needles (forever, motherfuckers) More hits than the Beatles Not tryna express sorrow, mourn full acquainted The name of the golden era, though, yo, can I live? (Come on) This here got too much bounce to be melancholic (for real) Listenin' DJs with the crates, spinnin' at the parties (let's go) From hole in the wall clubs to a neighborhood basement Block parties in Queens, new Nile Afro Sheen (uh-huh) Fourteen ounce of Dax Pomade, Jheri curl, braids, waves Afros, Gumby's, high tops, fades (come on) Diadoras, Pumas, Nikes, the brand with three stripes (uh-huh) All di Clarks, spot bills, British Walkers at night Shorties lookin' fine (woo) in the flyest designs (mh, mh, mh) Spandexes, Jordache, staring at Val Coop's ass (stop, Malik) Baby hair, lip gloss shinin', reason that I got into rhyming (word) Plus didn't shoot hoops as a pro Needing that old thing back, 'cause I'm missin' that energy Requiem for that official, the way Hip Hop is supposed to be Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, forever ever? Forever, motherfuckers Done came a long way with Sha, Jarobi and Tip (wow) Couldn't tell us we weren't nice, we knew that we was the ish (shh) 'Til the first demo I sold got in the hand of some folks They listenin', faces screwed, "F*ck is this shit? A joke?" I'm thinkin', "Back to the drawing board, sirs" Today it seems like a blur Never deferred from being just who we were Four brothers with a mic and a dream, construction Timbs Loud dashiki pants or rather my 501 jeans I felt like the garments we wore were a stretch A lot of it to the left, at photoshoots rocking Mitchell and Ness Ali Shaheed barking on me, he vexed (come on, son) "Do it again, and I'm making sure Chris Lighty takes it out of your check" First album makes noise overseas, finally makin' some G's Paying our rents, now my granny is pleased Up next, Low End Theory, who could relive that energy Requiem for that official, the way Hip Hop is supposed to be Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, forever ever? Forever, motherfuckers Only rocked on four songs on that first LP (dang) No verses written by me (nah) Out to prove to all that I could MC (come on) Lookin' to battle, what? Who want it with he? Uniform and fatigues, foam mids, top tens like the D Sharpen my pen, Shaheed, Fareed on the beats Second opus complete Check the rhyme, Cheryl's son 'bout to eat (uh-huh) September 24th, '91, hey world, here we come Bassline to "Buggin' Out" soundin' dumb (uh-huh) Fast forward, November 9th, '93, no time for play Pickin' up where we left off, straight maraudin' the streets World abuzz from that Award Tour with De La Soul, Alkoholiks Souls of Mischief wildin' out on tour No looking back it was straight steam ahead Mainstream and street creed Had no idea me and my boy would bump heads (damn) If I could do all over again I'd sit down with my friend Was zero reason why this shit had to end Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, forever ever? Forever, motherfuckers Hold up, hold up, hold up Cut that shit off, cut that shit off Lack of communication killed my tribe, bad vibes Hence the reason last two albums took a straight nosedive Truth be told, fans kept us alive Despite trials, tribe-ulations, no doubt, we were built to survive Can't speak for everybody or where my dudes' heads are at But I love you motherfuckers, true spit, all facts Deep in my soul, I believe what will be shall be Requiem for a Tribe, 'Ro, Sha', Kamal, and Malik Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, motherfuckers Forever Forever, forever ever? Forever, ever? Forever, forever ever? Forever, motherfuckers
