Nas, Scarlett - Live Now lyrics

Live now niggas, there's no promise
Of a second time around, put it down
We'll just (live) live now, there's no
Reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just
(live) , live now, we spending
Not under the ground yet
We enjoying every second yo
Live now, don't forget to bro, yeah
Cause I promise you you'll regret it bro

Picture my last days will be so grim
My daughter at my bedside, respirator in me
Eyes dilated, looking skinny
Trying to smile, trying to say something
Whole room will quiet down just
To hear my last words
Tears fall down my facial, why fear anything
It's now too late to
I'm dreaming of a time I was silked


Out at the peak of my career
But I always choked out
Leaving 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 pickle dick
Freaks licked on it, lips I dripped on it
Sex, I shot pearl necklaces
On necks and tit's 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
We'll just (live) live now, there's no
Reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just
(live) , live now, we spending
Not under the ground yet
We enjoying every second yo
Live now, don't forget to bro, yeah
Cause I promise you you'll regret it bro

It's been a long time since you
Came through to see ya sis
You know I love you
I've been a fan since Genesis
God, I respect you cause you
Never tried to smash
Since we met a while back
And your style was mack
Now I see that you a man
After all you been through
A stand-up 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
Used to love them things, Barbados, Belize
I stayed over seas, shopping sprees
Credit cards
Pockets of Gs, left the hood, phattest cribs
To platinum from silver, came back
Bitches calling 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
Lot of unprotected sex
Don't know where it came from
Grimy niggas, rich niggas
Damn it ain't a game son
From the Cayman Islands to the Virgin Islands
Gucci suitcases
(coughs) , a chic did it, eff the 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 know you make me proud
And most of all you gotta live now
Live now nigga ain't no promise of a
Second time around, put it down, would you
We'll just live now, there's no
Reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just, live now
Keep spending not under the ground yet
Keep enjoying every minute yo
Gotta live it up to the limit yo
Cause I promise you you'll regret it bro

Son, come close, lemme talk to you
I got music, put it out to the world
Let 'em hear it look out for little me, one
