Moment 4 Life (feat. Drake)
114 votes
Best Lyrics:

I fly with the stars, in the skies
I am no longer trying to survive
I believe that life is a prize
But to live, doesn't mean you're alive

Don't worry 'bout me, and who I fire
I get what I desire, it's my empire
And yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire
I sprinkle holy water, upon a vampire

In this very moment, I'm king
In this very moment, I slayed Goliath with a sling
This very moment I bring
Put it on everything, that I will retire with the ring

Best Lyrics:

He said he came from Jamaica
He owned a couple acres
A couple fake visas 'cause he never got his papers
Gave up on love, f*cking with them heart breakers
But he was gettin' money with the movers and the shakers

He was mixed with a couple things
Ball like a couple rings
Bricks in the condo and grams to sing-sing
Left arm, baby, mother tatted

Five year bid up north when they ratted
Anyway, I felt him, helped him, put him on lock, seat belt him
Took him out to Belgium, welcome!

Then I'ma start rockin' gold teeth and fangs

Hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster 'do
Monster Giuseppe heel, that's the monster shoe
Young money is the roster and the monster crew
And I'm all up, all up, all up in the bank with the funny face
