Featuring: John Legend
[Intro: John Legend & Rick Ross]
Regardless of how it goes down, life goes on
Am I right?
On the way we shed some tears, every day we sacrifice
So we can be standing here, oh, what a hell of a life
Been winning so many years and the future is bright
Now it's very clear that we gon' be rich forever
And ever, and ever, oh-oh, oh-oh
We gon' be rich forever, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, we gon' be rich forever (And ever)
And ever (And ever), and ever (And ever)
[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
I remember bein' blind to it
'Til the day I put my mind to it (Know what I'm sayin'?)
Pen and pad on the dresser for me to fine tune it
I sat in the corner, made up my mind, do it
Def Jam on my heels, should I sign to it?
Million dollar advance for me to rhyme fluent
Every day I'm hustlin' on every corner boomin'
Back of the Phantom, couldn't fathom, I was such a student
Grandfather deal for the Godfather
Lucian Grainge from the ghetto, I follow God's orders
And he told me I was rich forever
And he showed me I was rich forever
They call me Mr. Roberts when I'm in the bank
Digits like the Dodgers when it come to franks
Flossin' out in Compton like I got a cape
RoseMo tried to fight it, but barely niggas fade
White sheet, yellow tape, where your dogs at?
Count a million cash, can you blog that?
Me and niggas your type never exchange numbers
Want to conversate and steal game from us
See the watch, now you want to know the name of it
Never playin' so I went and got the frame flooded
Cartier, Hublot, I could name a dozen
Your shit pushed back cause it ain't buzzin'
Now these thugs actors all of a sudden
Niggas hustle backwards all of a sudden
Can't talk snow, where the soft at?
Your man got murked, but you squashed that (Oh)
Hope you know what we call that (Yeah, yeah)
I think you know just what we call that (Yeah)
All you pussy boys fall back
Big face Rollie, rose gold cost 40
Platinum twenty-one, it's time to go and spoil shorty
You only live once I'm screamin' YOLO in the VI
Time flies fast ballin' with my nigga T.I
Ciroc, no glass, smilin' women in my presence
Tall supermodels always fall in my possession
Atlanta housewives takin' pictures in my section
But I only got a thing for young bitches with aggression
Show me that affection that a D-Boy craves
Rich forever in my D-boy ways
So dope, blue jeans, new J's
Sold dope by any means all day, uh
[Outro: John Legend]
Been winning so many years, and the future is bright (Rick Ross, "Rich Forever")
[Interlude: Alicia Keys & John Legend]
I'ma come back with an— the, the other song that I ever did with Ye, actually (Uh-huh, alright)
Um, we started both of them on the same day and ended up finishin' 'em at different times
And big, big, big love to Mos Def (Ah)
In that "You Don't Know My Name" video, which is such a vibe
Uh, this one—
Regardless of how it goes down, life goes on

And ever, and ever, oh-oh, oh-oh
We gon' be rich forever, oh-oh-oh
