Momentinlife
Musiq 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

When God must have been with us
Whenever fate smiled upon us


'Cause it is heavenly joy
Because it brought immense happiness


When you wake up Christmas morning to every toy
When, on Christmas day, you wake up to find all the presents you wanted


Then there's the birth of my boy
Also, the moment my son was born


Here to inherit the rhythm
Brought into the world to continue the legacy


And when I see it in him I ask myself what more can I give him?
And when I see it in him, I question what else I can provide him


And I would love to but I can't spend every moment with him
And although I wish to, I cannot be with him constantly


It's just those big ole eyes that encourage me to keep living
It's solely the look of hope and faith in his eyes that motivates me to continue existing


Hey, ooh when I'm singing I'm sharing
Hey, ooh, when I'm singing, I'm expressing my thoughts and feelings

Or aligning words creatively, I'm demonstrating my talent


And although the love is so blinding I still end up finding my wife
And notwithstanding the intense passion, I still manage to encounter my partner


All I can do is reminisce 'cause there's no rewinding my life
All that remains for me to do is recall past occurrences since I cannot modify them


But the future's so bright that it's almost blinding my sight
Nevertheless, the future is so promising it's nearly overwhelming my senses


It's like all a sudden your life is so cool
It's as if, all of a sudden, your life is amazing


'Cause everything in it is working for you
Because every aspect is functioning appropriately


Your friends and your family are getting along
Your loved ones are harmonizing well with each other


It feels like when you hear your favorite song
It feels as though you discover your favorite tune


Or when you know that you got money to spend
Or when you realize that you have enough money to utilize


You never want that moment to end
You don't want that instant to terminate


You never want that moment to end
You do not desire that moment to conclude

I fell in love with this song when I bought the Soulsar album in 2004-2005. Only problem is it's so short

@rtoriq

Do you know how many times I would rewind the ending when they're all singing together??

@crystalhill-adams4463

This song got me through the entire planning and day of my wedding. I had days when it seemed like nothing was going right. My flower arrangements came late, I had to have my dress re-sewed and the work of putting everything together was so overwhelming. However, when I would play this song everything was alright and the struggle became simple.
