Nothing Lasts Forever
[Hook:] I tried, you tried, we tried All of the times that we had together We should've known nothing lasts forever [Repeat] [Verse 1:] When this shit end, man it's gon' get ugly Real real ugly, your grandmama love me And your mama love me, little sister hugs me Even got a few homegirls that wanna fuck me Soon as this shit end, forget about it You been stayin' in my crib, you gotta get about it Cause if you layin' in my bed, let's admit about it One time fuckin' and we no longer upset about it Cause when this shit ends it's either all or nothin' I thought you loved me, how the hell you gon' call yo cousin? You know the diesel ass, half slow, evil ass Nigga in that Honda showin' up with that drama On my mama, we been through it all From the goods to the bads, rise to the fall You done seen me at my best, seen me at my worst So when this shit ends, know it's gon' hurt [Hook:] (You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) SongtexteI tried, you tried, we tried All of the times that we had together We should've known nothing lasts forever [Repeat] [Verse 2:] They say we won't last I know you suspicious, but you don't ask And I don't tell, that's where we both fell A good nigga gone bad Good chick a lil mad as fuck, she done had enough I be, out here tryna raise my status up But success bring bitches, and they bad as fuck Ass fat as fuck, with a little ol' waist I ain't want the whole meal, just a little ol' taste Should have looked both ways 'fore I crossed you I guess I never thought I could have ever have lost you Now I'm out stuntin' with this bitch, you ain't about nothin' While some nigga learnin' all the shit I taught you Damn, guess you deserve that, a new start But deep down you know we grew apart Long before I broke your heart, if I lost your respect I'm just hopin' you don't look at me as somethin' you regret [Hook:] (You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) I tried, you tried, we tried All of the times that we had together We should've known nothing lasts forever [Repeat] [Verse 3:] I got your message I been meanin' to respond, know it's been awhile Apologies, I ain't been around I wanna kick it, but I know that shit is different now And times have changed Let me know if I'm out of bounds, are the lines the same? I mean ya, lookin' good, yeah you still got it Been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel about it Now we can say that all good things come to an end But we know each other way too well to pretend We went from friends to somethin' much more To breakin' up to makin' up and fuckin' once more Second chances, we gave enough to finally We gave it up, but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more But what for? Maybe it's just the weather We break each others hearts, so maybe it's for the better Holler whenever, cause you always got a friend in me And nothin' lasts forever, least we got these memories [Hook:] (You can't say we didn't try, you can't say we didn't try) I tried, you tried, we tried All of the times that we had together We should've known nothing lasts forever [Repeat] Aus Songtexte Mania
