This Will Never Last

Taelor Gray

[Hook 1:]
Live and learn, bridges burn, lessons learned
I just learn ‘em faster
You can take it how you want it homie
I'm just burning past ‘em
I take it when I want it, never asking
Cuz this won’t ever last
This won’t ever last
This won’t ever last
This won’t ever, ever
 
[Verse:]
This the one I wrote when I was giving up the music 
This the one I wrote cuz I ain't really built to do this 
Ain't nobody left to still inspire me
Ain't nobody real in these environments, 
I just see magicians 
Rabbit feces in their dad caps
Sell it like you Christian
Disappear when you talk ASCAP
No wonder you can't feel it when you listen
How you for the people when you distant 
You can't build a kingdom with a business
Disciples start to look like politicians 
Everything inside, yeah inside wants to set this thing on fire
I already wrote a record slinging shots at all these liars 
It'll never see the light of day, my homies shut it down
But I still think that someone else is gonna burn this to the ground 
I just try to navigate the tension 
Between the call on my life, and the desire for attention 
Cuz I want it, yeah I want it I won't lie to you no more
But I don't see the label that can sell it when it's pure
I just see an idol switching symbols for their slogan
I just see a leader keep his fans but he won't own em
I get painted jealous if I comment on the struggle
I say better music but it's really just a hustle 
Much of what is missing is conviction in the writing
Most these cats ain't artists they recycling 
Man I wish that we could see public disagreements looking more like dialogue
Where criticism looks like problems that we're trying to solve 
Where talent isn't measured by your following
Where the influential aren't so cowardly 
Oh the stories I could tell
Oh the gossip I can spill
Careful who you look up to
Chances are is that they’re not real 
Maybe you can see that too
Maybe all your heroes fall
Maybe Im too jaded for this 
Maybe we just look to God 
Find out I'm a servant, I'm a slave, I'm addicted to the cynical 
Cuz some this ish could end up in a civil suit
If you only thought that this some rap from Jesus’ name
Just know that when you start it, man it's rare you stay the same 
Peace to Datin, Peace to Eshon, 
Peace to KB, Peace to Angie
Peace to Kishon and JMonty
Peace to Dre and all your families 
And all the other realest ones that’s chilling in the margins 
I hope God will finish what you started 
Cos I’m just like

[Hook 2:]
Live and learn, lessons learned, bridges burn
I just burn ‘em faster
You can take it how you want it homie
I'm just burning past ‘em
I take it when I want it, never asking
Cuz this won’t ever last
This won’t ever last
