[Verse 1]
We're the rare gems here to repair hems
The ceiling for the crack
Sons of men who walk the fine line of Grammy's and plaques with the IRS on they back
A mismanaged life
But still manage to miss strife
Damn, I miss Phife
Survival to grab and get stabbed like dammit, this knife

[Verse 2]
Glamourous life, no flash and no cameras
Twice in a year, lost my man and this pain so damaging
Hard to get a handle when I'm managing
By dancin' in the rain, the same color of amethyst
Such as the life of a bang up artist
Already in fire trouble and the game just started
Take a step back before your heart hardens
Plant new seeds, rearrange your square gardens
Sharpen your shot selection or face obsolescence
Thanks to Muddy Ranks, I got them lessons, and I'm out

[Chorus: Darien Brockington]
Brother can you tell me how it feels to live forever?

[Verse 3]
Forever ever
So raise your glasses to The Five-Foot Freak for the love of it
Nice cool drink of Ginger Ale to rejuvenate
Didn't wanna ruminate, so I put rum in it
Let me break 'cause it's time to get bent
But time with my brethren is time well spent
[Verse 4]
Ayo, rappers in the house represent, represent
A holy trinity soundin' so heaven sent
Blow the trumpets, tea and crumpets, respect royalty
Nobody warned me this could be the future
Experience life through false computers, mental polluters
We God like, high steppin' over Judas
No looters of the legacy
Audio specialty
Check the rhyme, it's like you standin' right next to me
Blessed to be considered a one-to-one
Continue to wave the flag for a champion
And it's on

[Chorus: Darien Brockington]
Brother, can you tell me how it feels to live forever?

[Verse 5]
We rounding third base
Champions only, we love the way that Cham' taste
Carolina blue, Phife's favorite hue
Paintin' pictures in the sky, takin' in the view
And God lives through
This the memories that make you laugh
So many stories in the photograph
[Verse 6]
Yo I'm a paragraph, president
Never been impeached, that's evident
I sit between forgotten and relevant
Flappin' both like wings but never land
We deal with any issue in the room
Got bags of unshelled peanuts for the elephant
I'm from a tribe who survived all entanglements
Speak fluent in Malik who kept the heat
Under baseball fitteds where the Kangol went
I own this shop 'cause I never rent

[Bridge: Darien Brockington]
I just wanna live, I just wanna live forever
Alright, alright
On and on and on and on and on
On and on and on
On and on and on and on and on
Yeah
Right on and live forever

[Outro: Phife Dawg]
Everybody takes the easy way out
You know what I'm saying?
If its something they have to think about
Then don't ever really give it a chance
And it's unfortunate
Because there's is a lot of good music out there
If you just sit and listen to it
Y'know what I mean?
But they rather go with a catchy hook
Instead of lyrically listen to the whole song
They'll just listen to the hook and the beat
Get they drink and they smoke and they dance on
And that's it, y'know what I'm saying?
But there's more to life than just that, y'know what I'm saying?
You can get your party on, your groove on, or whatever but
There's people that go to work everyday
There's people that are on welfare everyday
There's people that go to the library and learn something everyday, y'know what I'm saying? So
Unfortunately these kids
They rather listen to us kick it in a rhyme or a verse than listen to their own teacher at school
And on that note, being that it's unfortunate
We still have deal with it
So being that they'll rather listen to us
We gotta kick something else to them other than
What kind of car I drive or
How many chicks I brought home from the party last night
You know? You know what I mean?
Let's give these youth something else
'Cause this is all, that's all this music is, a youth movement
If we fill they heads with nothing but BS
They are gon' go out like that
You know what I'm sayin'? And
Everybody tryna have kids now
Come on man, let's get it together
[Outro]
Aight, so when I say "Phife", y'all say "Forever"
Phife (Forever)
Phife (Forever)
Phife (Forever)
Everybody put five fingers in the sky for Phife Dawg
Y'all ready?
We gon' take it back like this, let's go
