Moments

'Bout it, that's how I feel

We used to all put in and go half on bail money

Fuck makin' it rain, now we makin' it hail money (Hit-Boy)

I never met Muhammed Ali

Wish I did

My brother saw him

Champ told him, "Nothing is real"

Gave me the chills

Thought about it, that's how I feel

We on autopilot, no captain behind the wheel

My whole career I steered away from features

But I figured it's perfect timing to embrace new leaders

Acceptin' my position as the master teacher

I make cash deposits before the 1st

Flashy diamonds, that's waterworks

Sassy models the curviest

Brothers you knew from the sandbox'll do you the dirtiest

Government assistance, poverty is big business

Overrun the Senate both parties got policies built for the wicked

Look, in the jungle, you gotta move like an animal

Prey on the predators, go at anybody that challenge you

Board rooms, courtrooms, it'll leave you with war wounds

I ain't wanna be this cold hearted but I was forced to

Wore my sneakers like Run DMC did

Important to black culture like Spike Lee is

He Got Game

I wish my mom could see this

See the man that he is

Moments you can't relive

Like takin' your first swim

Like still bein' a virgin

Taking trainin' wheels off the rims

Movin' in your first crib or having your first kid

Moments you can't relive

Like your first time buggin' from somethin' that Nas said

Yo, I wish I met Sister Souljah

But I didn't, woulda told her

Coldest Winter Ever was beautifully written

She alive so she'll hear this

I'm dolo no co-defendants, I been with the social distance

Archbishop of sharp spittin', sports car whippin'

You're actin' like the real ain't what's needed, of course I get it

What's more authentic?

Hit-Boy in a walking Guinness World Record

New York menace

I'm O-Dog Hit is Caine

The endin' change

Traded my youth, some say I became a suit

A representative of Martin's Dream comin' true

Every man is a king lest he make excuses

Wish that my mishaps wasn't a nuisance

Sunday to Sunday, give praise, I'm God-made

Where I'm from, one go in the grave, one go in the cage

Moments you can't relive

Like takin' your first swim

Like still bein' a virgin

Taking trainin' wheels off the rims

Movin' in your first crib or having your first kid

Moments you can't relive

Like your first time buggin' from somethin' that Nas said

Third verse and I knew what to write

They say I'm a legacy artist, I blew up the price

Thirty years later, who would'a knew dude would be nice

I hit the tables and I threw up the dice

Under the lights, outside dining

Al fresco

Silk is the dress code

Had to be Esco

Colors of lightbulbs change through voice command

Flew over Antigua, made the choice to land

Set my feet on a private island, house come with a staff

Chef know how to cook with no salt and low fat

Extended stay shorty, she don't wanna go back

You gotta appreciate the moments, bad times don't last

Like my first fistfight in the Bridge

Hype like the first time I heard Nobody Beats the Biz

Those times bring me to tears

Moments you can't relive

Like takin' your first swim (Splash)

Like still bein' a virgin (Splash)

Taking trainin' wheels off the rims

Movin' in your first crib or having your first kid (It's a girl)

Moments you can't relive (Moments you can't relive, yeah)

Like your first time buggin' from somethin' that Nas said

When was that?

Way back

Just free, livin' this life

I can't relive last night

I'm excited for today
