Moment 4 Life
Los Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever had a day when
Nothing goes your way
All you do seems to be in vain
And everything is just a waste of your time

But have you ever had that moment in life
When everything is cool (yeah)?
Didn't have to worry about the time
It all went as it should
And you were having the greatest moment in life (yeah)

Don't you worry about the past 'cause
It's gonna be what it is?
All that you can do is try to
Make your future beautiful
Just let it be the greatest moment in life

I remember almost every December when we were critters
And mama said that there was only one thing she could get us
When God must have been with us
'Cause it is heavenly joy
When you wake up Christmas morning to every toy
Then there's the birth of my boy
Here to inherit the rhythm
And when I see it in him I ask myself what more can I give him?
And I would love to but I can't spend every moment with him
It's just those big ole eyes that encourage me to keep living
Hey, ooh when I'm singing I'm sharing
Or rhyming I'm shining my light
And although the love is so blinding I still end up finding my wife
All I can do is reminisce 'cause there eyes no rewinding my life
But the future's so bright that it's almost blinding my sight

It's like all a sudden your life is so cool
'Cause everything in it is working for you
Your friends and your family are getting along
It feels like when you hear your favorite song
Or when you know that you got money to spend




You never want that moment to end
You never want that moment to end

The urge to extend that experience indefinitely

[Los]

I go super hard
Nothing less than devoted
I put knowledge in every bar
Take a second and note it
I know that things ain't what they seem
It’s like blessings is coded
I knew this would be my moment for life the second I wrote it
And yea I struggled every day, I got used to the hope
Playing tug-of-war with the world, I was losing my rope
But contrary to what haters would usually hope
When you talk about me now, tell them I used to be broke
Bad for your health with a raw flow
Niggas can’t mention rap in my presence
Unless you’re an elf in the North Pole
You don’t get that, you so unprepared
Snap back flow, adjust to me being over your head
Damn! I’m bigger, stronger and faster than them
Put my life behind bars, that’s how I mastered the pen
Ten, nine eight, seven six five four three, two one
Motherfucker it’s my time
I could write it in the script and sell it
This kind of story many niggas don’t live to tell it
I put my life in this sentence, like a convicted felon
Victory is mine, climb a mountain raise my fists and yell it
I wish that I could have this moment a bit longer
In the midst of the moment, the momentum get stronger
But shit hunger, make friends switch to opponents
Then take the tone of a bitch on ya
Keep your chrome on your hip
When you boning them chicks, homie
They be blowing your cut, man these hoes is a bit phony
I move out like O’s in the drought
The day I trick on a bitch you see snow in the south
Way back when I had the goals in my mouth
Nigga I was pimping like Jerome in the house
Thinking back to my Martin years
Now the Aston Martin doors open like Martin’s ears
White top black shoes on the drop
Martin got it looking like a skin head and some Doc Martens
It all started with a dream like Doc Martin, Luther King
Do your thing nigga stop talking
Back when they dropped the dirt on my pop's coffin
Left a hard spot on my heart that will not soften
I’m lost in this beautiful thing
So even in my nightmares I’m still pursuing my dreams
Got the shooter on the roof, clear view to king
They tell me bring the crown back and make the funeral clean
It’s no chance for the bow, I romance with the war
And these niggas too clean to slow dance with the poor
Ten seconds on the clock, I take a glance at the score
We down by two so I advance with the ball
Too fast for your forward no need to rewind
I shake him out his 2 shoes, I got this 3 on my mind
4 seconds left, and it’s like 5 niggas pressing me
I need 6 rings like Jordan in my legacy
7 niggas on the bench watching me in slow mo
I ate (8) the press up too easy, no homo
Straight down the middle to the top of the line
And pulled that motherfucker back like I was cocking a 9
And let it fly they thinking β€˜Los did it again’
Damn ya’ll niggas need heart, I’m the wizard you tin (10) man
It take 10 men to get the heart of this one man
Cuz no ten men would go as hard as this one man
Damn, who would’ve thought that I was this thorough
Put a ribbon on the moon, my gift out this world nigga

"10 seconds on the clock, I take a glance at the score. We down by 2 so I advance with the ball. Too fast for your forward, no need to rewind. I take him out his two shoes, I got this 3 on my mind." ^^^ This is what makes Los the best in the game, some of the dopest lyrics I've heard.

Loopy Litty

That bar was disgusting

Watsik

"You don't get that, you so unprepared, Snap back flow- Adjust to me being over ya head. Dead! I'm big and stronger than them, Put my life behind bars, that's how I mastered the pen." Damn, Is all I can say. Not to mention the killer ass Lebron line off the Hustle Hard beat, this mixtape is gonna be DEADLY!

J Dizzle

The answer is yes, this still gives me chills whenever I play it.
