Rich Forever (Live)

[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—
