Lyrics

Chorus
Live now niggas
There's no promise of a second time around
Put it down wud 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

[Verse]
Picture my last days would 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 too late to
I'm dreamin of a time I was silked out
At the peak of my career but I always chirped out
Leavin mad money on the table had 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

Chorus
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

(Footsteps)
(Intercom:)
…Dial 11
Doctor kravitz, you have a visitor in the main lobby
Doctor kravitz, a visitor in the main lobby
Nas- hey, hey, hey, how you doin' now?
(Beeps)

[Verse]
It's been a long time since you came threw 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 stand up dude
Held me down after ce que
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
Thought me a victim could never be my character
As ill say passed away the way he didn't know how to tell him
Just happy it didn't get in our kid
But all the things I did was the flyist
Experience's was priceless
Remember days of diamond cuts
Nugget rings
Clubs and queens
Jetted cars
Use to love them things
Barbados and belize
I stayed over seas
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
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
(Cough)
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
(Heh) (cough)

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 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

(Coughs)

[Spoken:]
Son, come close
(Beeps)
Let me talk to you
(Beeps)
I got music
(Beeps)
Put it out to the world
(Beeps)
Let 'em hear it
(Beeps)
An' look out for lil' me
(Beeps)
One
(Flatlines)
