Forever
Eternal Rhymes: Anthony Sawyers' Quest for Timeless Expression
Lyrics
Don't want to fly high
Expressing a desire not to aim for great heights.
Don't want to be rich (be rich)
Expressing a lack of interest in becoming wealthy.
Don't want to mansion
Rejecting the idea of owning a mansion.
Unless a studio in the basement
Expressing a preference for a studio in the basement over a mansion.
Just want to do this forever (forever)
Desire to pursue a passion (music) indefinitely.
Just want to do this forever (forever)
-Just want to do this forever (forever)
-Wish we could do this forever (forever)
-Listening to Luda (Like)
Listening to Ludacris for inspiration.
Wish I could do that (Uh)
Expressing a wish to emulate Ludacris' skills.
Listening to Lupe next day like
Listening to Lupe Fiasco and being surprised by newfound knowledge.
I never done knew that (Uh)
-Inspired by the stories (Yea)
Being inspired by stories, rhymes, and flows of various artists, including Eminem and Da Truth.
Rhymes and the flows (Uh)
-Eminem with the encore (Yea)
-Da truth with the quotes
-So I picked up the pad and the pen
Picking up a pen and pad to create rhymes again.
Tough rhyme files at it again
-Ain't from the hood but don't know anyone around here
Not being from a disadvantaged neighborhood but not associating with luxury cars either.
that rides in a Benz
-Now I'm Tony from the westside
Trying to adopt a persona but realizing the authenticity is essential.
Yea I tried to pretend (Uh)
-But that ain't last long, made some bad songs
-that I tried to defend
-Don't walk with Berettas
Rejecting violence (Berettas), focusing on music, and seeking like-minded friends.
Only trap on the beat
-Just want to rap better
-And start playing for the keeps
-So I gathered some friends
-Who ain't chasing the cheddar
-And told them
Expressing a desire to continue making music indefinitely.
Wish I could do this forever (Uh)
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
-Wish I could do this forever (Uh)
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
-Wish I could do this forever (Uh)
Desire to express oneself through rhymes despite potential restrictions.
Rhyming on beats helping me speak
-So I say what they won't let us (Uh)
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
-Wish I could do this forever
Reiteration of the desire to do music forever and rejecting materialistic goals.
Don't want to fly high
-Don't want to be rich (be rich)
-Don't want to mansion
-Unless a studio in the basement
-Just want to do this forever (forever)
Repeating the aspiration to pursue music indefinitely.
Just want to do this forever (forever)
-Just want to do this forever (forever)
-Wish we could do this forever (forever)
-(Yo) Gone for some time now I'm back in the zone
Returning after a hiatus, using biblical references to convey spiritual growth.
Boom with the bap can I pack out the room
-Died and He rose from the tomb
-Crushed the head of the snake, shinning the shoes (Uh)
-Never used to walk with the tool
-Now I just walk with the sword
-Share the gospel they lost for words
Sharing religious beliefs and experiences of grace.
Just like they lock with the jaw
-Never knew the time or place
-Yea Slapped by the grace in the barber chair
-Lord of all things yea he brought us here
Expressing faith in divine intervention and detachment from worldly possessions.
If it's a pie in the sky, He's the pioneer
-Cuz He's making impossible possible
-Making my casa your casa too
-Miracle maker, chain breaker
-This world ain't my home yea I'm walking through
-One day you gonna see the surprise
Anticipating a divine event and asserting spiritual superiority.
Coming through like a thief in the night
-You might have a phantom
-I got Holy Ghost and the keys to the rides
-You say that you doing it better
Confidently expressing the desire to rap about God indefinitely.
I'm here until He's coming to get us
-I can rap about God all-day
-Wish I could do this forever
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
Repeating the desire to continue making music forever, incorporating religious themes.
Wish I could do this forever (Uh)
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
-Wish I could do this forever (Uh)
-Rhyming on beats helping me speak
-So I say what they won't let us (Uh)
-Wish I could do this forever (Yea)
-Wish I could do this forever
-Just want to do this forever
Final repetition of the desire to do music forever and a wish for collective success.
Just want to do this forever
-Just want to do this forever
-Wish we could do this forever
