Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics

J. Cole Nothing Lasts Forever

I tried you tried we tried
All of the times that we had together
we should have known nothin lasts forever (x2)

Hey
when this shit end man its gon' get ugly
real real ugly
yo grand mama loved me
and yo mamma loved me
litlle sister hugs me
even a few home girls that wanna f..ck me
soon as this shit end, forget about it
you been stayin' in my crib you, gotta get up out it
cuz if you layin' in my bed lets admit about it
one time f..ckin' and we no longer upset about it
cuz when this shit ends its either all or nothin'
I thought you loved me how the hell you gon' call your cousin
you know that diesel ass half slow evil ass nigga in that honda showin' up with that drama
on my mamma we been through it all
from the goods to the bads, rise to the fall
you done see me at my best seen me at my worst
so when this shit ends know its gonna hurt
cant say we didn't try though

Chorus x2

They said we wont last
I know you suspicious but you don't ask
and I don't tell
Thats where we both fail
A good nigga gone bad, a good chick alone mad as f..ck
she done had enough
I be out here tryna raise my status up
but success bring bitches and they bad as f..ck
ass fat as f..ck with a lil ol waist

I don't want the whole meal just a lil ol a taste
shoulda looked both ways before i crossed you
i guess i never thought I coulda ever lost you
Now I'm out stuntin with this bitch who aint about nothin
while some nigga learnin all the shit I taught you
guess you deserve that, a new start
but deep down you know we grew apart
long before I broke your heart
If I lost your respect, I just hope you don't look at me as somethin' you regret
cant say we didn't try though

Chorus x2

I got your message I been meanin' to respond
know it's been a while
apologies I aint been around
I wanna kick it but i know that shit is different now
times have changed
lemme know if I'm outta bounds are the lines the same?
I mean you lookin' good yeah you still got it
been reminiscin' and I'm not sure how I feel bout it
now we could say that all good things come to an end
but we know each other way too well to pretend
we went from friends to somethin' much more
to breakin' up to makin' up and f..ckin' once more
second chances we gave enough til finally we gave it up
but some days I be wakin' up and wantin' one more
but what for?
maybe its just the weather
we break each others hearts so maybe its for the better
holla whenever cuz you always got a friend in me
nothin lasts for ever at least we got these memories
cant say we didn't try though

Chorus x2
