Joyner Lucas - Forever Lyrics






Yo
I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
You will eventually
Some day
One day

I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I hope you understand I love you more than life itself
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty

And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
I fought so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
I never wanted kids until I lived and went through hard times
And became a man that fell in love with someone that my heart finds
But you know how that shit go
Young and reckless, different women part time
And I wasn't ready for that life yet, I was in my dark prime
Me and your moms ain't get along and she gave me a hard time
I really think that we just crossed paths at the wrong time
I wasn't happy when she said she was pregnant
Probably the worst news of my life, that shit was so depressing
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it
I'm sorry that I said that shit, yo I was trippin'

I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I'm sorry, yo

And I never wanted a broken home to raise you from a distance
Yeah I'll admit it, I was scared of that type of commitment
Even hopes of a miscarriage, anything bad that could happen
That'd get me out of that situation, I was livid
I felt like shit about my thoughts, that wasn't me, I'm different
Plus I was dealing with some demons that I couldn't live with
I told her she should get an abortion and I really meant it

I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
Hope you don't hate me, I was selfish, I hope you forgive me
Hope you forgive me

And I still remember your baby shower like it was yesterday
And to your mom it was special, me, just another day
I wish that you could see the pictures, all the fake phony smilin'
Had to pretend that I was happy, deep down I was cryin'
Ma asked if I was okay, I turned around and looked away
I was dryin' all my tears, look back to say yeah
I was lyin', goddamn, how the hell I get here?
This is it, this supposed to be my life
This ain't how I pictured it
I never felt so damn alone, but it was more than often
One of the worst days of my life, and I ain't even lyin'
We argued when we came home, I blame myself for all this
I think that I was holding a grudge 'cause she ain't get an abortion
I'm sorry
Damn

And I know you can't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I can't believe I tried to hurt you, I hope you forgive me
Please, please

And everything ain't always what it seems like on the outside
I fight so many tears so that you would never see the outcry
I sacrifice my life so you could live it
Peace, want to give you things my father couldn't give to, me
I think I was raised wrong, and that's just what it is to me
And if you ask him then his ass gon' probably disagree
But whatever, whatever
And nothing's ever made me cry as much as you, I swear
Your smile gives me motivation and some new ideas
My worst fear is always you not knowing who I am
'Cause I been on the road dreamchasing for you out here
I was the first thing that you opened your eyes to
And the last one that you said goodnight to
I went home and cried to
And I bawled my eyes out, and then watched you
Glad I got you, that's a blatant fact
And every negative thing I said I swear I take it back

I know you don't understand my words but you will eventually
And when you get older I hope you don't hold this shit against me
I hope you understand I love you more than I love myself
And this is nothin' but your daddy's thoughts when he was feelin' empty

I was feelin' empty
I been feelin' empty
I put my emotions in this music when I'm feelin' empty
I hope you forgive me
Please, please

    So I'm not even 24 and I'm a father to a 3 year old little girl, my baby mama is older than I am and when she got pregnant I had no idea what to do, my life was over. I asked her if she would get an abortion and she said no, and i hated her for it but I didnt push it. That little girl is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I'm not with the baby mama anymore but I've since gotten a new, better job, gone back to school to finish my degree and have my daughter every week, I couldnt ask for a better little girl and she'll never know my first thought was to kill her, it hurts me everytime I see her smile that I wanted to do that to her, people its time to grow up and handle your business, it might be a lot better than you think, stop running away from your problems, face them, thank you for reading

  22. J.... W....

    *I love how he pains the picture. I’ve never been pregnant or anything but I got emotional listening to this. I do to a few of his songs. It’s like he puts ME in HIS position. Even though we’ve come from different races and countries (I’m from England) he’s truly amazing!!*

  36. C.... ....

    So Joyner had a son that became a doctor and then he stopped the woman from getting the abortion because he could see she wasn't sure she wanted to go through with it

  37. A.... S....

    I was 14 when I got pregnant and this is exactly how I felt. I was lost. I was stressed. Mental illness got the best of me...but the day my baby boy was born everything was different. As I saw him take his first breathe, laugh, crawl....I just couldn't do anything but love him....and all the horrible things I wanted to do i took it back. I saw what a beautiful soul I created and tooke everything back. I couldn't be a happier mother..

    A.... S....

    Audi Sanchez wait

    A.... S....

    @Nowakowski Boys That is what im saying jesus Christ

  38. B.... V....

    Who else like before watching the video.

  39. Z.... S....

    while its a nice song and message, i think abortion is good. too many children hurting in world because the parents arent ready, able to support them or even hate and resent them. abortion is better then suffering which leads to more suffering and over-population. teen pregnancies and rape-babies should be aborted unless the mother has amazing resolve.

  40. U.... P....

    This is a struggle for man and woman not just men. Abortion is mind boggling numbers right now because many feel hopless men and woman. Keep ur heads ur not hopeless kids are a blessing. Keep it up joyner lucas real mc

  41. J.... m....

    been a fan of him since 2015 joyner is unique

  42. v.... ....

    this man isnt Tupac for all ..

  43. s.... ....

  45. T.... m....

    I'm currently going though something similar thank you so much ur music helps me in so many ways bless up

  46. R.... S....

    Is that number for like scuiscid??

  47. S.... S....

    Da lil baby so cute 😍♥️

  48. P.... J....

    My mam doesn't even ask if I'm okay for me to clear the tears and say yeah she just ignores me and let's me cry

  49. D.... R....

    Was that his real son in beginning???

  50. G.... V....

    right in the fucking feels, cant explain how much i relate to this jam

  51. K.... G....

    Hey camera guy 4:15

  52. R.... M....

    His sons so cute

    R.... M....

    I don't think that is his son

  53. L.... K....

    Did drake sample this? Sounds like do not disturb

  54. K.... L....

    Honestly in my opinion Joyner, is one of the most talented rappers of this new generation and if he dies anytime soon I feel as though music would be pointless. To me, I think there are only around 20 Great artists, and Joyner is Prolly top, if not a close second, it's so amazing to see that my favorite rapper that is so sadly deceased, XXXTENTACION, and Joyner has made a song together. It fills me with so much joy because, If he was still alive I believe that they would have made millions.

  55. t.... i....

    This song hit me hard as fuck the first time I heard it. Word for word this was me 8 yrs ago. Every god damn word. I’m glad my daughter was never aborted. I can’t picture life without her.

  56. S.... ....

    Say hello to the cameraman at 4:14 :)

  57. x.... ....

    My momma got pregnant at 16 and didn't abort the child. She was forced to drop outta high school to provide for him. The man who got her pregnant ended up leaving her, or she left him, I don't really know. Either way they split. That kid's life was tough as hell. He would spend days away from home, he was a troubled kid. My momma would still check in on him, because of just how much she loved him. Today, he's got a 5 year old niece that he's fighting for custody over, but he busts his ass to provide for the ones he loves. That kid is my older brother. He's 20 years older than me, and I'm 16 writin this. Up until this song I didn't think twice about abortions, but this made me realize how different my life would be if everyone thought like I used to. I'm thankful for him, thankful for my mom, and thankful for Joyner who helped me realize my hypocrisy.

  58. t.... o....

    Quick question why does he always put that number in his title?

  59. J.... T....

    We need you Fam.

  60. L.... G....

    Can somebody please share this message to drake for the sake of His born son

  61. w.... h....

    That's adorable

  62. B.... M....

    Trully I don’t understand why someone would hate a song like this.WTF

    B.... M....

    because it makes them cry

  63. �.... A....

    I still don't see the big deal with abortion...its a life but many fail to understand the physical, mental, and financial stress of a child and who the fuck wants to have a kid they aren't ready for only to give it away or be a shitty parent? Like yeah, keep your legs close or keep it in your pants but humans are very fickle beings and such an ideal isn't in everyone's mind. Probably gonna get disliked for this but if Joyner was still struggling off some real shit, who are you or anyone to judge his wish for an abortion he just ain't ready chief.

  64. H.... 6....

    I hate people that are like oh abortions are murder. ITS NOT LIKE ITS THE GIRLS FAULT. THEY ALSO COULD OF GOT RAPED AND DIDN'T WANT KID BC OF IT. jesus christ people

  65. J.... P....

    vote pro life

  66. P.... H....

    I hate to say I feel like this for my 8 month little brother, I am the one stuck with him and my mom didnt want to be responsible father is gone so now I'm the fucking father

  67. I.... P....

    Nahhh this song was it

  68. m.... ....

    I wish i could have dad... cancer took him from me

    m.... ....

    So sorry 😞

  69. K.... ....

    I cried in some of the parts...

  70. A.... S....

    RESPECT MAN! 🙏🙏🙏❤

  71. r.... y....

    Be yourself and he will be himself

  72. B.... ....

    I randomly found this song maybe a month ago and it stuck with me. Anyways. I have been with this girl for about 7 months. She recently told me she was pregnant. And i told her get an abortion. I had so many dark thoughts abt how i want the pregnancy to mess up. It makes me so sick that i thought those things. I have the privilege to experience what life is truly about: New Life. I am so sorry to you my child. Daddy is gonna make sure you will have the greatest quality of life. I promise.. I hope you forgive for what i thought. I love you so much💜💜💜💜💜.

    I relate to this song. when i found out my girl was pregnant i told her to get an abortion and i dont even believe in abortions. Ive regret that those words ever came out of my mouth my baby girl has been one of the greatest blessings in my life.

  85. A.... O....

    It’s been a minute since I’ve heard this. It gave me chills. I love you Joyner. Thank you.

  86. R.... R....

    I had a abortion in October 99. It haunts me, to this day. I say forgive me daily. Respect Joyner. It's a hard decision, it's not like you wanna kill your child. I was raped, and young. I have a tattoo and a name for him, they wouldn't tell me the sex, so I named him river, I feel it was a boy. River. I hope when I go to the other side, i hope he loves me and forgives me. I have 2 beautiful girls now, I try to make up to him when spoil the hell out of my girls. I hope he forgives me. My girls know they have a brother in heaven. If you judge me, for my decision, keep it to yourself, you can't say anything worse than I have said to my self. 💙

  87. K.... K....

    Drake should make one of those songs for his son. That kid might get mad at him if he does not.

  88. I.... J....
