Moment 4 Life Lyrics
[Nicki Minaj]
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, vampire
And this very moment I’m king
This very moment I slay Goliath with a sling,
This very moment I bring
Put it on everything that I will retire with the ring,
And I will retire with the crown, Yes!
No I’m not lucky I’m blessed, Yes!
Clap for the heavyweight champ, Me!
But I couldn’t do it all alone, We!
Young Money raised me, grew up out in Paisley
Southside Jamaica, Queens and it’s crazy
cuz I’m still hood, Hollywood couldn’t change me
shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn’t faze me
ain't being cocky we just vindicated, best believe that when were done
This moment will be syndicated, I don’t know this night just reminds me
of everything that they deprived me of, kuhh!
ppppp put ya drinks up, it’s a celebration every time we link up
We done did everything they can think of
Greatness is what we on the brink of.
[Chorus]
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
[Drake]
yeahh
yeaahh
yeahh, ugh
What I tell ‘em hoes bow bow bow to me, drop down to ya knees
Young Money the Mafia that’s word to Lil Cease
I’m in The Dominican Big Papi Ortiz
doin’ target practice all these bitches just aiming to please
Shoutout to the CEO 500 degrees
shoutout to the OVO where we set for T’s, oooow
Niggas wanna be friends how coincidental
This supposed to be our year we ain’t get the memo
Young King, pay me in gold
40 got a bunch of weed he ain’t even roll
These niggas be droppin songs they ain’t even cold
Weezy on top and that nigga aint even home, yet!
yeaah, be very afraid these other rappers getting bodied and carried away
fuck it, me and Nicki Nick gettin’ married today
And now you bitches that be hatin can catch a bouquet, oww
yeah, you a star in my eyes, you and all them white girls party of five
are we drinking a lil more I can hardly decide
I can’t believe we really made it I’m partly surprised, I swear
daaamn, this one for the books, man!
I swear this shit is as fun as it looks, man!
I’m really tryna make it more than what it is, cuz everybody dies but not everybody lives!
[Chorus]
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
[Nick Minaj]
This is my moment, I waited all my life I can tell its time
drifting away I’m one with the sunsets, I have become alive.
[Chorus]
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
Cuz in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
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, vampire
And this very moment I’m king
This very moment I slay Goliath with a sling,
This very moment I bring

It's about reaching that moment where you feel like you're on the top of the world.
Also there's an error in Nicki's lyrics. It's: Greatness is what we wanna brink up.
it should be: Greatness is what we're on the brink of!
This song, for me, has the most meaning on the album.
Nicki's basically saying "I was devoted, I deserved this, I achieved this."
I love this song-not all of the lyrics,but she's got a few good lines in there,and I love the way she sings the chorus cos she's actually singing! :) "I wished I could have this moment for life...this is my moment".
I dont think that people should like talk about grammar cause this is rap it just needs 2 sound catchy...
Only change in Drake's verse: "Shout out to OVO, ted wings and fatigues"
OVO (Octobers' Very Own) is what Drake calls himself. Red Wings are boots and fatigues are army pants. (both are what Drake wears)
Drakes statement, "Everybody dies but not everybody lives" is so true!
"This song is about 2 kids that grew up on the same block. They shared their dreams of making it as rappers. They laughed together, they cried together. One day they realize that their dreams have come to fruition. Though they know all things come to an end, they celebrate. They wish that they could have this moment for life" - The words of Nicki Minaj. :)
no its not its not this whole album is about the real nicki its about herr devotion n her achivements n wat she deserves

Love this song
Although its actually "greatness is what we're on the brink of"
This line: This supposed to be our year we ain�t get the memo
Should be: This supposed to be yall year we ain�t get the memo
The song is about the moment you really wanted for a very long time and has come...you want to enjoy it to the fullest and you wish it never ends
