Live now niggas
There's no promise of a second time around
Put it down wit' ya's
(Live)
Live now there's no reason
Why shouldn't everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just
(Live)
Live now we spinnin'
Not under the ground yet
We enjoyin' every second, yo
Live now don't forget to bro, yea
'Cuz I promise you'll regret it bro
Picture my last days it'll be so grim
My daughter at my bedside, respirator in me
Eyes dilated looking skinny trying to smile
Try to say something the whole room would quite down
Just to hear my last words, tears balled down my facial
Why fear anything? It's now to late to
I'm dreaming of a time I was silked out
At the peak of my career but I always choked out
Leavin' mad money on the table at crazy amounts
I would hit the scene for a second and bounce
Admit I did live a little bit sweet pickled dick
Freaks licked on it lips I dripped on it
Sex I shot pearl necklaces on necks and tits
Traveled half the world wish I traveled the rest of it
From QB to Mecca kid so if you knew me
You'd be proud to say I left you with enough memories
To resurrect me with
So live now nigga
Live now niggas
There's no promise of a second time around
Put it down wit' ya's
(Live)
Live now there's no reason why shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just
(Live)
Live now we spinnin'
Not under the ground yet
We enjoyin' every second, yo
Live now don't forget to bro, yea
'Cuz I promise you you'll regret it bro
Doctor Kravitz, you have a visitor in the main lobby
Doctor Kravitz, a visitor in the main lobby
Hey, hey, hey, how you doing now?
It's been a long time since you came through to see your sis
You know I love you I've been a fan since Genesis
Gotta respect you 'cuz you never tried to smash
Since we met a while back and your style was mack
Now I see you're a man after all you been through
A standup dude held me down after Sekou
Need more brothers like you in the hood
Would have wifed you if I could
But the white cells in my blood were no good
Said I had it ten years but I was just a carrier
I thought, ?Me a victim? Could never be my character"
It's ill Se' passed the way he did, didn't know how to tell him
Just happy it didn't get in our kid
But all the things I did was the flyest
Experiences were priceless
Remember days of diamond cuts
Nugget rings, clubs in Queens, Jetta cars
Use to love them things, Barbados, Belize
I stayed overseas shoppin' sprees
Credit cards, pockets of G's
Left the hood phattest cribs
To platinum from silver came back
Bitches callin' me the black Liz Taylor
Imagine that, Rob me?
My nigga would kill ya'
They knew the rules all the planes I flew
All the niggas I ran through, lotta unprotected sex
Don't know where it came from
Grimy niggas, rich niggas damn it ain't a game son
From the Cayman Islands from the Virgin Islands
Gucci suitcases a chick did it after screw faces
Critics and fans they need to get a life
You doin' the right thing settle down get a wife, now
I grew with you so you make me proud
And most of all you gotta live now
Live now nigga
There's no promise of a second time around
Put it down wit' ya's
(Live)
Live now there's no reason why shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just
(Live)
Live now keep spinnin'
Not under the ground yet
Keep enjoyin' every minute, yo
Gotta live it up to the limit, yo
'Cuz I promise you'll regret it bro
Son, come close
Let me talk to you
I got music
Put it out to the world
Let 'em hear it
An' look out for lil' me
One
