[Intro] (A slow, eerie guitar melody drifts over deep, spaced-out 808s. A lighter flick echoes through the room.) (Deep, gravelly, slurred): Another fuckin' contract... another blunt... another perfect night... ha... (Long inhale. Slow exhale.) Watch the ashes fall, motherfucker... --- [Verse 1] Black marble table, penthouse hanging over a city built on sin, Everybody's chasing dreams... shit, I already won again. I spark another blunt with the corner of your signed decree, Funny how forever always comes crawling back to me. The smoke climbs higher than the skyline, slow as judgment in the air, Every broken promise you made is floating right fucking there. You begged for money, begged for fame, begged for one more chance to shine, Now the only thing you own is that little signature beside mine. I'm leaned back laughing while eternity keeps perfect time, Business is fucking booming and every soul's another dime. (Ad-lib): Roll another one... ha! --- [Pre-Chorus] Every ember tells a story. Every spark remembers a name. You thought the fire burned the contract? Nah, bitch... it only locked your chains. --- [Chorus] Ashes in my ashtray, another fuckin' dream burned down tonight. Purple smoke filling up the room while your whole damn world loses the light. Deep gravelly breathing, passing another blunt to eternity, One more soul reduced to dust... another profitable year for me. I ain't rushing, I ain't worried, forever moves my way, Every goddamn contract ends the same... ashes in my ashtray. (Ad-lib): FHUC IT! Roll it up! --- [Verse 2] Crystal glass half full, whiskey tastes like broken trust, Everybody wants forever till forever turns to dust. The elevator opens... another poor bastard walks inside, Thinking he's the first genius that'll beat the devil's ride. I don't even stand up, shit, I just point him to the chair, Tell him, "Sign your little future..." while I'm blowing loud in the air. Outside they're fighting traffic, bills, religion, fear and debt, I'm counting contracts, laughing because I ain't lost one yet. The skyline shines like diamonds bought with somebody else's pain, Every single bad decision just puts money in my name. (Low laugh): Everybody pays... motherfucker. --- [Bridge] (The beat strips away, leaving only bass, a lighter flick, and thick smoke.) Hear that...? That's another dumb son of a bitch realizing the fine print mattered. People think forever sounds like screaming... Nah... Forever smells like fresh loud... A slow exhale... ...and another fucking signature. --- [Final Chorus] Ashes in my ashtray, stacking higher every damn day. Every deal becomes a memory that the smoke just blows away. Deep gravelly laughter, ain't a goddamn thing changing me, I'm living like a king while forever pays the fee. No regrets. No mercy. No refunds. No escape. Everything comes back to dust... ashes in my ashtray. Goddamn right! --- [Outro] (The 808 fades into a slow heartbeat.) (Gravelly whisper): Go chase another fuckin' dream... I'll save you a seat... ...and another blunt... for the ride. (Lighter snaps shut. Deep, distorted laugh fades into reverb.)
