Ceschi and Factor Chandelier - This Won't Last Forever

Every single breath that I've taken has created me
Endless thank you's to the women who raised me

Try to keep my head cool, though life keeps burning me
Sorry that I never learned how to respect authority, forgive me
Mother, I swear that I'm a grown man
You taught me how to walk holding my pinky in your hand

Thirty years later, bearded, ready for whatever
They can hold me down for now, but this won't last forever
Promise I'll be back and better
Fallen forty stories, only bled

Been trampled down and beaten, left for dead
Gambled and I lost, gambled and I won
Don't think that I would ever take those bets back, none
From the bottom of my heart, I believe in what we're doing

And don't care if it's unattainable, I still pursue it
Oh my God, I'm sorry for the sins that I was born with
But a life without a single sin is simply boring, forgive me
Oh My God
Any minute now all could be gone
But I know together we're strong
Any minute now all could be gone
Stay strong, stay strong

Adolescent rage still swimming through my veins
Knew this world was unfair at an early age
Mother, I know they never paid you a proper wage

So thank you doubly for every sacrifice you made
If we reach the end of days or I ever lose my way
I'll follow crumbs back to you and will never stray
Loved ones found, loved ones lost

Just know that I will never forget any of them, none
They can lock me up for now, but the seeds were still sown
And when I make it out, I know that they'll be fully grown
Never gave a shit about a boss or president

If we want some real change, we need to make it with our friends
Back when I was 10 sang "fuck the police"
20 years later, know exactly what that means
They made it a sin to believe in equality

Called it criminal to fight in solidarity
To stop me they gonna have to bury me
God, God, many men and now our prestige gone
What I know together is strong

Oh My God
Any minute now all could be gone
But I know together we're strong
Any minute now all could be gone
But I know together we're strong

Barely fucking breathing, I'mma keep fists swinging
Thank you mother for teaching us to embrace our differences

Taught me to believe that everyone is worth the same
They'll never take us out, I'll scream it till I hit the grave
I could give a fuck about another ephemeral trend
I'll never waste a single word trying to please them

One minute we're here, next minute we're dead
It's all about how we will be remembered in the end, the end

Oh My God
Any minute now all could be gone
But I know together we're strong

Oh My God
Any minute now all could be gone
Stay strong, stay strong
