Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Na, na, na, na, na)
(This some real life shit yeah)
(Yeah!)
Now or never
I tell my niggas lets stick together
I see them picking and choosing
Got me a movement, man I was just losing but now I’m doing better
How you my homie but you got me set up
You always hated cause I got my bread up
She broke my heart but it’s my fault I let her
I should’ve dubbed her the first time I met her
Your time is coming my nigga
I roll my blunt cause I rather not sip any liquor
Really can’t fuck you with you niggas
They envy me cause they know that I’m bigger
I made a lot of mistakes in my life I’m a man, I admit it
Man I can’t fuck with you niggas
Ya people lame
Fucking with niggas with fame
Through out the pain
I held it down and I remained the same
Ya niggas changed
I’ma do me cause ya niggas too fake
Ya talk about me but not in my face
I done it all, have you put in ya place
Fuck what you say
I made a stack and I got me a plate
I broke it down and I doubled the pay
She on my dick once I tell her my name
I didn’t get it
I had to learn the method on my own and run up the digits
Started my business
They look at me like I’m doing something wrong
I’ma win they doubting me cause they didn’t
They all got something to say, I’m just happy that I made it today nigga
(Now or never man)
(You know a lot of people gonna judge you for the shit you do man
You just gotta keep it pushin’ homie)
Life is hard but I had to be grateful
Love is there but I feel like I hate you
I don’t know why
If you ask that’s how I feel deep inside
I should’ve left when I first seen the signs
If it ain’t work it ain’t meant to be mine
I gotta move on I’m wasting my time
I’m on the grind, see me on top when I shine, yeah yeah
See me on top when I shine
I cannot lie you was one of a kind
Too bad cause I gotta leave you behind yeah yeah
Yeah yeah no
(You know sometimes you gotta do what’s best for you)
(And that shit might not seem right at the moment but it is homie)
Now or never
I wasted so many years
But I’m so happy I’m here
I done went through it my nigga and I done shed a lot of tears
I did a lot and I showed people love
Even though I was down I started a career
Lets make it clear, I put the food on the table
But when I went broke no one cared
I got so heartless
I’m into money I’m all in
They moving funny, they stalking
Got a glock on me when I walk-in, when I’m walking oh yeah
(You know i just turned 21
Shit really hit me man
Like I really gotta get this shit now nigga
Cause it’s now or never you feel me
I feel like I’ve been doin’ this shit forever man
A lot of people dying man a lot of people need help man
I’m over here strugglin’ complaining ‘bout the little shit man
It’s bigger than music, it’s more than just money
I gotta do this shit for my peoples man
So you know... you gotta just...
Stay determined, stay focused man keep ya head up homie
Now or never
Gotta get it nigga, I gotta get it, I gotta get it
Stay focused, stay motivated, stay determined

It's now or never
Come, hold me tight
Kiss me, my darling (Ooh)
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late (Ah, ah, ah)
It's now or never (Ooh)
My love won't wait

When I first saw you
With your smile so tender
My heart was captured
My soul surrendered
I've spent a lifetime
Waiting for the right time
Now that you're near
The time is here, at last

It's now or never (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Come, hold me tight (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Kiss me, my darling (Ooh)
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
It's now or never (Ooh)
My love won't wait

Just like a willow
We would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
And sweet devotion
Your lips excite me
Let your arms invite me
For who knows when we'll meet again
This way

It's now or never (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Come, hold me tight (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
Kiss me, my darling (Ooh)
Be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late (Ah, ah, ah, ah)
It's now or never (Ooh)
My love won't wait

It's Now Or Never]

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

When I first saw you
with your smile so tender
My heart was captured,
my soul surrendered
I'd spend a lifetime
waiting for the right time
Now that your near
the time is here at last.

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

Just like a willow,
we would cry an ocean
If we lost true love
and sweet devotion
Your lips excite me,
let your arms invite me
For who knows when
we'll meet again this way

It's now or never,
come hold me tight
Kiss me my darling,
be mine tonight
Tomorrow will be too late,
it's now or never
My love won't wait.

Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole
N'aria serena doppo na tempesta
Pe' ll'aria fresca pare gia' na festa
Che bella cosa na jurnata 'e sole
Ma n'atu sole
Cchiu' bello, oi ne'
'O sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te
'O sole, 'o sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te
Sta 'nfronte a te
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne
Me vene quase 'na malincunia
Sotto 'a fenesta toia restarria
Quanno fa notte e 'o sole se ne scenne
Ma n'atu sole
Cchiu' bello, oi ne'
'O sole mio
Sta 'nfronte a te
'O sole, 'o sole mio…
