Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics - The Lost Tapes - Nas

A lot of times it seems like, you ain't gon' make it where you wanna be in life 

But, yo if you got a plan, believe me you gon' get there 

You gon' get everything you ever wanted baby 

That's my word 

Trust, my niggas come home from long bids 

They check for me before they see their own kids 

I open up accounts for 'em, we bounce tour in 

major cities, arenas, headline with big time singers 

Cop Ferraris with navigational screens 

guide us through your hood and any locality, head back to Queens 

Piped out seats, Oakwood mb cord speakers 

Bumpin' out old shit 

That made me think of Old Easters '86 in a le tigre short sleeves 

Lees, flip the cuffs up, gettin' fucked up 

from Old E, Fresh Fest, niggas got hurt 

100 niggas rush the door with Queensbridge tournament shirts 

Back then, nobody wore a vest 

Pull out razors, you had to put your hand skills to the test 

Get your Pumas took, come home barefoot willin' 

Look at the chain I snatched with a medallion worth a thousand 

Cops rushed the garden made it home smilin' 

Half of the crew probably on the island 

Project call play puff ball the hoop was made out of a hanger 

Playin' corners stick the elevator never thought 

Project life was promised nothin' but to die trife 

for steppin' on the next man's nikes my motto look for tomorrow 

Today is yesterday look at the hood now, I'm mad that it turned out that way 

Gats spray these shorties is killers 

The older G's taught us well, what's wild now is that they're smaller 

And they look at me like I'm on the outside lookin' in 

Like 'who's you' when I cruise through 

I call shorty took him in watch your friends, get ends 

be clever, realize that today's the first day that begins forever

Everything will eventually come to an end 

So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it 

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better 

Cuz nothin' lasts forever 

Everything will eventually come to an end 

So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it 

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better 

Cuz nothin' lasts forever 

Nice cars, livin' like a star club hoppin' 

Poppin' bottles at the bar love shoppin' 

Gucci iceberg, coppin' two, three nice furs 

One for your wife, one for your freak silver spurs 

Rolls Royce too good to be true, houses worth 2.2 

Pool parties beautiful view 

You made it in life, Forbes Magazine style baggy jeans style 

Pass the green while hoes wit' meanwhile 

Asses, pretty mommies illest bodies pass glasses 

Louis Roderra with Peach Schnapps you just relaxin' 

Thinkin' damn wish my niggas could afford this 

On the sand at your Malibu house holdin' a cordless 

Talkin' to lawyers accountants investments 

Money doubles, triples protected hard work you manifested 

Worries of failure, when you buried will your familia 

Keep your name prosperin' to the maximum 

You should live, there's only one life that's the physical 

Rich or poor in jail why the fuck should you be miserable 

Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin' 

Love could have your heart beat skippin', thugs turn to religion 

The bitch you love could start to hate you, the shit you use to do escape you 

Things that make you laugh represent the past 

Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor 

Niggas use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more 

Your favorite restaurants and favorite stores, they tore 'em down 

Turn 'em into shopping malls the hood is like a ghost town 

Haunted by souls who thought that time stood still 

Just live your life to the fullest, never look back, it's real 

Photos 

Everything must eventually come to an end 

So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it 

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better 

Cuz nothin' lasts forever, ya know 

I said everything eventually comes to an end 

So try to savor your moments, cuz time flies don't it 

The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better 

Cuz nothin' lasts forever 

Ya know, ya now, nothin' lasts forever ya know
