Griffin North - We All Know Nothing Lasts Forever Lyrics

We know about the generational gap
And the differences between us in the way that we rap, yeah
But a lot of time has made it like that
So why you keep hating and be saying it's wack, yeah
And it seems like it's staying like that
But it's getting bigger now more playing it back, yeah
If you hate the new wave and the trap
Just take a look around you'll find crazier rap, yeah
It's so diverse so many different rappers
Some are making people cry, some are making laughter
That's why every single different artist matters
Even though you say they all sound the same, please gather
The information that you need to understand
Every single one connects to people in the stands
That's why they go to their shows and buy their clothes
'Cause without them living they'd be here all alone
Yeah it's different now, in a different place
In a different time, in a different age
We do different things, we are not the same
Yet you still choose, to always stay away
Yeah it's different now, in a different lane
But you looking back, tryna copy greats
A lot of time has passed, we have to obligate
For you to come with us, before you abdicate
I have learnt that a lot of people change
People that I liked now are acting kinda strange
And I know I'm probably doing the same
But I'm staying true to myself 'long as I know my name
And I ain't trying to impress nobody else
Y'all are tryna do that but not being yourself
We'll see what happens this year but I can tell
By the start of 2021, I'll be handing out L's
And I can't see the end it's so far
I know it's not straight and I see incoming cars
I might swerve to the side just to dodge them
While everyone behind and beside gon' be stoppin'
I know there's always a way around it
They are asking me where it is but I ain't found it
This'll change things yeah and I need it
And I think finally I have seen it
Yeah it's different now, in a different place
In a different time, in a different age
We do different things, we are not the same
Yet you still choose, to always stay away
Yeah it's different now, in a different lane
But you looking back, tryna copy greats
A lot of time has passed, we have to obligate
For you to come with us, before you abdicate
The same person that you wish you never met
Just listened to an album now I think that I am dead
It could've been from something that I had read
But I believe what went through my ears put me to bed
I connected to it like I said before
By doing something different he escaped from the lord
It's a path that he never went down
But the other ones who did they are dead now
And this here is the start of a new phase
A new section of life and a new maze
It's a new part for me to swallow
And it's a new part for you to follow
I don't know how long this'll last
I don't know how quick or how fast
But I know you'll never outpace me
But if you do that'll be the day you face me
