Queen & Slim Lyrics by Coast Contra & BJ the Chicago Kid
Say you wanna’ live for ever huh?
I mean for real for real?
I mean
You wanna live forever?
Hm, shit
Let’s see
I put the foreground to life with my vision board
Background drowning out the siren and white noise
Rhythm fairly faded, still I caught it and kept my poise
It’s not to be debated, either be great or be destroyed
Fuck your conversation, if it’s basic, we keep it coy
It’s fuckin’ off of basic instincts, feelings premature
Shaft made of gold, so just imagine what’s at my core
The gift you got to know me, you would know I’m a paramour
Just lookin’ for her, an Emma Ryder, a rider, a woman
My generation product of narcotics for numbing
It’s fathers early retired, tired mamas becoming daddies
This gunfire, that your son dyin’ for nothin’
And your daughters be suckin’ dick before they even get their first kiss
And nobody catchin’ the ish, she ain’t cryin’ for nothin’, I’m sayin’
I mean, she gotta be cryin’ for somethin’, I’m sayin’
I mean, she gotta be, we rock society
Dreams of ghetto ballin’ and callin’ iso’ regardless
Of what court I’m in
Point out the judge for bein’ grudge to my melanin
Point blank, period, this shit’s irrelevant
Done playin’ humble, I’m arrogant, I’m better than it
Act like you know a n**** gifted
You never found a broken branch from underneath my Christmas
With all the woods on the wishlist, Santa must’ve missed it
And n***** never would, ’cause I’m different
Oh, don’t you wanna live forever? (Don’t you wanna live forever?)
‘Cause we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
Only if you (You)
Really wanna live forever (Live forever)
But we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
Just come fly with me
Strictly for the love of the music, I got involved and evolved
It don’t matter where I’m from, ’cause my skin is my logo
These cops tryna lock me up or kill me with a four-four
Ain’t no justice in the system, especially for another n****
Especially on your second strike and when that third one come quicker
Especially when he dreams bigger and he knows he can’t switch up
Though his people might switch up
Only way it’s gettin’ clearer is by lookin’ in the mirror
But yo, even you would think I was odd if I told you that we was gods
But a conversation with Taj and he clearly would just oblige
You decide, ’cause what really matters is what’s inside
I just look ’em straight in they eyes and I can see spiritual smiles
They visions, they tell us lies, we are not to be itemized
We are not to be idolized, see the body is a disguise
I’m always fly, I promise to never die
Forever I will be immortalized, what’s up?
Oh, don’t you wanna live forever? (Don’t you wanna live forever?)
(Nobody gave us somethin’ to believe in)
‘Cause we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
(I mean that for real)
Only if you (You)
Really wanna live forever (Live forever)
But we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
Just come fly with me
Blood of a thousand hearts coursing through our veins
This black pride, don’t shuck and jive to entertain
Soul of a lion, suited to triumph all of our days and reign
Like a drop of freedom fallin’ on slaves
We shall remain the people’s champion, glorifying the Pantheon
MLK with an AK, AKA Malcolm X-cellence
Bulletproofing my melanin, steppin’ through shadow valley of death
No weapon that’s formed can harm me, you uninformed
I live in harmony, BJ givin’ us harmonies
Fuck your authority, comin’ from a minority
Speakin’ for the majority, speakin’ to you
Speakin’ the truth the first priority, fuck what you do
Strap up your boots and move accordingly, it’s up to you
Look in the mirror and look ahead, you see a leader instead
If not, then you been misled, if not, then I know the way
Stay the course, we ain’t far away
Oh, don’t you wanna live forever? (Don’t you wanna live forever?)
(Can I be your legacy?)
‘Cause we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
(You already are)
Only if you (You)
Really wanna live forever (Live forever)
But we can live forever together (We can live forever together)
Just come fly with me (Just come fly with me)
Just come fly with me
Just come fly with me
