Forever and a Day

Lyrics

[Interlude] "Music's a hard life Gotta be smart or you not gonna make it Gotta reach down inside, pull out your soul every day Every note, every word, every song" "Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never-ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel Like a circle in a spiral Like a wheel within a wheel Never-ending or beginning On an ever-spinning reel" [Scratches: DJ Jugular] "I live inside the mind of the listener Through the speaker" "Forever and a day" "I livе inside the mind of the listеner Through the speaker" "Forever and a day" [Verse 1: Headlock] Once we leave this earth, that's it, we're gone forever As a result, we live with the pressure of tryna be remembered So all our life's endeavours are measured by their tenure To keep our name alive once a tether to the mortal coil is severed And those are endowed with the power to get a mention or a say Can put their words down in print and live forever in a day With every statement, as I make it, I'm able to be immortal When my time through the vinyl's history with a turntable as a portal People who never knew me can remember my achievements So the onus is on me to make something dope and be sure I mean it 'Cause one hundred years from now, long after we expire Records will still exist to put voices through speaker wires As long as someone's listening on their systems, we're existing Just the point in time is different so our presence is still missing But that's cool when all's said and done and the transactions final The best part of my life is captured in the crackling vinyl [Verse 2: Pressure] I held my breath forever, just to see this underground And damn near drowned, tryna surface around this ocean of sounds What we know in the now could [?] Too little is known to these has-beens, I want my name chiselled in stone It's all about the aftermath, who had the largest heart To nurture [?] till they [?] [?] won't last, I'm leavin' pieces of my thesis But man, I guess we're dreamers 'cause we all know time is seamless Heightenin' fevers constrict my breathing, if life did leave us And strip my being, it would be meaning, ah, shit we leaving When my time is out, take my wallet and buy a shout Donate my setup, so that others can get up after I'm signin' out Whatever the way, I live for every day I got left And never delay to reach my goals, man, I never will stray From the path I'm walkin' with my last breath, I will say Not every soul lives forever and a day [Verse 3: Edits] I'm cold, my thoughts are trapped inside internal grooves, unsatisfied But pacified, integrity in categories, we're classified It's After Hours, here's your dinner music, set the tables I'll drown in my instrumentals, unable to break these tangled cables I found fabled love in lost religion, captured by lost music With our first release complete, will my sweet muse become illusive Or obtrusive? Does our relationship remain exclusive And conducive to the truth if evidence is inconclusive? Self-abusive, I don't make the grade when markin' these assignments I've cranked the anti-skating but still feel out of alignment 'Cause my time spent on creating an outlet from this confinement That's defined by [?] packaged and shipped out on consignment When you're finally done rewinding, reminding me where my life's gone Then you become the judge, is this a Certified Wise type of song? 'Cause right or wrong, these other roads we chose to ride upon I face my fate on wax, place me back in stack crates where I might belong [Verse 4: Debris] From sunrise to sunset, from credits to debts I'm comin' back from the dead to keep stressin' out you MOSFETs So place your bets while the dogs are still racin' Take a look at the odds before the winner gets a placin' I'm steady chasin' attainable dreams I've studied this race long enough to make the ends means Always winning in teams, so my efforts are appreciated Time goes quick but some things are never dated Even when the day is faded, there's still a path to choose Don't put nails in my coffin if I ask you for tech screws To win or lose is not the question at hand If I keep achieving goals and keep standin' on firm land And never think of sand as time in the hourglass That's for opportunists that's passive and sit on their arse I skipped the class to take this job with no pay Made the most of my time to live forever in a day [Verse 5: Interger] We're guaranteed to last due to exceptional persistence Allowing our thoughts to travel an acceptable distance Past [?] resistors to our perpetual existence To provide open minds with intellectual assistance By the time I've departed this place and discarded this race My presence on radio singles will surpass charted space Once these words are released, they can be eternally heard Even as photographs fade and become indiscernibly blurred This music's something that'll last till time's conclusion It's something solid in a world of ill-defined illusions A lifetime of exclusion and misaligned delusions Writing rhymes in seclusion, brain entwined by confusion I've absorbed so much hip-hop, it now burns through my veins So many things have come and gone, but this is our turn to remain I've discovered that every action has suitable implications By freein' your mind, you can surpass all the usual limitations [Scratches: DJ Jugular] "I live inside the mind of the listener Through the speaker" "Forever and a day" "I live inside the mind of the listener Through the speaker" "Forever and a day" [Interlude] "Music keeps playing inside my head Over and over and over again My friend, there's no end To the music Music keeps playing inside my head Over and over and over again My friend, there's no end To the music" "Hahaha Lord have mercy How'd that old song get into my head?"
