Forever YDG’n Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Yeah, you heard that I was dead
And now you can't get me out of your head
Yeah, you thought that I was gone
But I've been waiting to say this for so long
You know you really make me sick
Reused that line because the shoe fits
While you dug your pit, I built a bridge
Walked across, and now I'm over it
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope it keeps you up at night
[Chorus]
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stopped to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me
Strengthened me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, bring the heat
I'm forged in flame
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Yeah, you heard that I was dead
And now you can't get me out of your head
Yeah, you thought that I was gone
But I've been waiting to say this for so long
You know you really make me sick
Reused that line because the shoe fits
While you dug your pit, I built a bridge
Walked across, and now I'm over it
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope it keeps you up at night
[Chorus]
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stopped to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me
Strengthened me
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, bring the heat
I'm forged in flame
[Verse 2]
Every stick and stone you throw at me
My skin thickens while you just grow weak
A failed lesson in each one you cast
You turned your house into a pile of glass
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope it keeps you up at night
Yeah, yeah I hope it never leaves your mind
[Chorus]
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stop to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me
[Bridge]
I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah, yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind
I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah, yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind
[Outro]
Bring the heat
Bring the heat
Every stick and stone you throw at me
My skin thickens while you just grow weak
A failed lesson in each one you cast
You turned your house into a pile of glass
[Pre-Chorus]
I hope it keeps you up at night
Yeah, yeah I hope it never leaves your mind
[Chorus]
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
You hateful fake, there's no stopping me or getting in my way
One day you will realize that you're to blame
And I bet you never stop to think
What didn't kill just built and strengthened me
[Bridge]
I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah, yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind
I hope it keeps you up at night, yeah, yeah
I hope it never leaves your mind
[Outro]
Bring the heat
Bring the heat

What did Of Mice & Men say about "Forever YDG'n"?
Genius Answer
Of Mice & Men frontman Aaron Pauley shared with Alternative Press:
Lyrically, that song alludes to one song from each of the past releases. “Those In Glass Houses,” [from self-titled], “When You Can’t Sleep At Night” [from The Flood], “You Make Me Sick” [from Restoring Force] and “Away” [from Cold World].
It’s built on a bunch of metaphors and references from the entire discography of Of Mice & Men, and it fits in the Ya Dig saga. For us, it’s a nod to the legacy of everything of Mice & Men is and was and will be.
