Forever Lyrics

Good Lord, Jesus Christ, have mercy
He a demon on tracks, you hear them damn verses?
This motherfucker the Devil, he screamin' and cursin'
I'm pullin' pistols in public, puttin' them on every person
Rap's Rasputin, I'm pullin' pumps on pompous ass preachers and shootin'
I'm sittin' on the last pew-pew-pewin'
One day the poor will eat the affluent
Hope you atone for you past doings
'Cause one of these Sundays when hunnies hummin' them zombies comin'
Approach your preacher for profit, prophet, you owe me somethin'
To put it simply, just mix your words and empty 'em
If I ain't hungry then your bread won't tempt me, uh
So I suggest you help the less and feed their tummy tall
Or one day pointed at your tummy is a Tommy Gun
Or maybe that's my paranoia that I'm walkin' with
As I burn this spliff and try locate the mothership

(Ayy) This-this-this the jungle
(Ayy) This-this-this the jungle, forever
This-this-this the jungle-ungle forever
(Ayy) This-this (ayy) this-this-this (ayy)
This the jungle, jungle, jungle (ayy)
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

Balderdash, you not gettin' it past rap's Putin
Who ride a horse, bareback, shootin'
A champ in the land of the stupid
The kind that take the candy out kids' hands and laugh in amusement
The damned got a movement
They love to redefine what truth is
I find that little exercise useless
I'm losin', my last dose of shrooms was a doozy
The loosely knit walls of reality don't move me
Inhale about a QP
Enough to make a cutter out the cookie
The brothers of the jewels spit rubies
These planetary gates murder truly
But baby, they all fools and they eat from the hands of those rulin'

(Ayy) This-this-this the jungle
(Ayy) This-this-this the jungle, forever
This-this-this the jungle-ungle forever
(Ayy) This-this (ayy) this-this-this (ayy)
This the jungle, jungle, jungle (ayy)
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Jungle, jungle, jungle, forever ever
Ever ever, ever ever, ever ever

(Jewel walk) Forever ever
(Jew-jew-jewel walk) Forever ever
Ever ever, ever ever (Jewel Runners)
Forever ever (Jewel walk)
(Jew-jew-jewel walk) Forever
Killer Mike and
Killer Mike and, Killer Mike and El-P
Forever, forever, forever

What is the Meaning of Forever?

Exploring themes of societal disillusionment and existential angst, this track delves into the chaotic nature of contemporary life. The lyrics juxtapose religious imagery with violent rebellion, highlighting a deep-seated frustration with systemic inequities. References to "Rap's Rasputin" and "rap's Putin" evoke historical figures known for their controversial influence, suggesting a critique of those in power. The recurring motif of the jungle symbolizes a ruthless environment where survival is paramount, underscoring the artists' perception of an unforgiving world. The verses also reflect paranoia and a search for meaning amidst disorder, as evidenced by lines about seeking atonement and grappling with altered states of reality. Ultimately, the song serves as both a condemnation of societal corruption and a call for introspection in an era marked by moral ambiguity and existential dread.
