[Hook] Nothing lasts forever Not the pain Not the rain Not the pressure Everything fade eventually Even storms lose energy Nothing lasts forever Not the money Not the shine Not the flexing One minute you alive and laughing Next minute life start testing [Verse 1] Yeah… I done seen smiles disappear overnight Seen strong men fold from pressure and pride Seen love turn cold when stress arrive Seen people swear loyalty then switch sides That’s why I move careful now Mind full of static loud Trying not to let my inner chaos Bleed onto everybody around And I hate that survival changes people Turns dreams into just “making it” Turns peace into a luxury Turns kindness into dangerous Meanwhile everybody online Acting like they life cinematic Till real pain walk through the front door And suddenly panic get graphic I’m trying not to lose myself Trying not to numb my health Trying not to become another man Who emotionally abandoned himself But pressure build… Bills stack… Sleep gone… Mind cracked… And still I gotta smile for the world Like my soul ain’t fighting combat [Bridge] (Lil Jon energy) WHAT?! Life hit hard! YEAH! Still stand tall! OKAY! Can’t stay down! RISE! Even when the whole world fall! [Hook] Nothing lasts forever Not the pain Not the rain Not the pressure Everything fade eventually Even storms lose energy Nothing lasts forever Not the money Not the shine Not the flexing One minute you alive and laughing Next minute life start testing [Verse 2] I done watched people lose everything Trying to chase temporary highs Watched fake kings build fake empires Just to collapse from lies And me? I’m still battling internally Trying to figure out who I’m supposed to be Father Husband Protector Provider While emotionally running on low battery Some nights I ride with music loud Trying not to mentally black out Cause silence get dangerous When overthinking fully max out And I know anger got teeth Know stress make monsters speak Know one wrong moment can damage things That took years to keep So I isolate sometimes Disappear into my thoughts Trying to keep my darkness contained Before the people I love get caught Cause nothing permanent here Not success Not fear Not even the version of you Standing in this mirror One day these scars become wisdom One day this pressure become fuel One day the pain that almost killed you Become the thing that made you useful [Bridge] (Ludacris-style swagger) Hands high if life done dragged you Still breathing? Then fight right past it Whole world crazy and dramatic But we still here That’s automatic! [Hook] Nothing lasts forever Not the pain Not the rain Not the pressure Everything fade eventually Even storms lose energy Nothing lasts forever Not the money Not the shine Not the flexing One minute you alive and laughing Next minute life start testing [Verse 3] So now I hold my people closer Cause tomorrow ain’t guaranteed And pride ain’t worth losing souls Over temporary energy I’m learning strength ain’t yelling louder Sometimes strength is staying gentle Sometimes strength is walking away Before emotions turn destructive And maybe life fragile on purpose Maybe we supposed to feel urgency Maybe knowing everything fades Is what finally teaches us mercy Cause I done wasted too much time Trying to carry impossible weight Trying to save everybody else While silently filled with hate But healing hit different lately I’m realizing peace worth more Than proving points to broken people Who never loved you before So if the lights go dark tomorrow If everything I built disappear I pray my family remember me As somebody who stayed sincere Not perfect Not fearless Not always emotionally clear But somebody who kept showing up Even while fighting demons for years [Outro] (cinematic choir + distorted bass fading) Nothing lasts forever… So love hard while you still here…
