Moment 4 Life
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

I fly with the stars in the skies
I have achieved great success and feel like I am soaring high

I am no longer trying to survive
I have gone beyond simply surviving and am now thriving

I believe that life is a prize
I see life as a gift that should be cherished

But to live doesn't mean you're alive
Simply existing is not enough to truly feel alive

Don't worry 'bout me and who I fire
I am in control of my own career and do not concern myself with those who are not supportive

I get what I desire, it's my empire
I work hard to achieve my goals and am proud of what I have accomplished

And yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire
I am the one who makes the decisions and controls the game

I sprinkle holy water upon a vampire
I have power over those who try to bring me down or drain me of energy

In this very moment, I'm king
I feel like I am on top of the world and in charge of my destiny

In this very moment, I slayed Goliath with a sling
I have overcome great obstacles to achieve success

This very moment, I bring
I am bringing something great and impactful into the world

Put it on everything that I will retire with the ring
I am confident that I will continue to achieve greatness and retire as a champion

And I will retire with the crown, yes
I will end my career as a successful and respected figure

No, I'm not lucky, I'm blessed, yes
I acknowledge that my success is due to my hard work and good fortune

Clap for the heavyweight champ, me
Celebrate my success, as I have worked hard to achieve it

But I couldn't do it all alone, we
I am grateful for the support and collaboration of others who helped me succeed

Young Money raised me, grew up out in Baisley
I come from a humble background, but was given the opportunity to achieve success through my association with the Young Money label

Southside Jamaica, Queens, and it's crazy
I grew up in a tough neighborhood, but was able to rise above my circumstances

'Cause I'm still hood, Hollywood couldn't change me
Despite my success, I have not forgotten my roots and still identify with my upbringing

Shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn't faze me
I am not bothered by those who do not support me and am able to rise above their negativity

Ain't being cocky, we just vindicated
I am not boasting, but simply acknowledging that my success is proof of my hard work and talent

Best believe that when we done, this moment will be syndicated
My success will be remembered and celebrated for years to come

I don't know, this night just remind me of
I am feeling nostalgic and reflective

Everything they deprived me of (yeah)
I have overcome obstacles and adversity to achieve success

Put your drinks up
Let's celebrate

It's a celebration every time we link up
When we come together, we bring joy and positivity

We done did everything they can think of
We have achieved great success and overcome adversity

Greatness is what we on the brink of
We are poised for even greater success in the future

What I tell them hoes? Bow, bow, bow to me, drop down to your knees
I demand respect and admiration from those who did not believe in me

Young Money the mafia, that's word to Lil' Cease
We are a powerful force in the music industry, like a mafia family

I'm in the Dominican, Big Papi Ortiz
I am living a life of luxury and enjoying international travel

Doing target practice, all these bitches just aiming to please
I am focused on my goals and not concerned with the opinions or desires of others

Shout out to the CEO, 500 Degreez
I pay homage to those who have helped me achieve success

Shout out to the OVO, red wings and fatigues, oh
I also acknowledge those who have achieved success in their own right, such as Drake's OVO label

Niggas wanna be friends, how coincidental
Others want to be associated with me now that I have achieved success

This supposed to be y'all year? We ain't get the memo
I am confident in my own success and do not concern myself with the achievements of others

A young king, pay me in gold
I am confident in my own talents and demand appropriate compensation for my work

40 got a bunch of weed he ain't even roll
My team has plenty of resources and everything we need to succeed

These niggas be droppin' songs, they ain't even cold
Others are always trying to follow in my footsteps and copy my success

Weezy on top, and that nigga ain't even home, yet
Lil Wayne is also a successful figure in the music industry, despite not being physically present at the moment

Yeah, be very afraid
Others should be intimidated by my success and power

These other rappers gettin' bodied and carried away
Others are not able to compete with my level of success and are overshadowed by my accomplishments

Fuck it, me and Nicki Nick gettin' married today
I am confident in my own success and do not concern myself with what others think or say

And all you bitches that be hatin' can catch a bouquet, ooh
Those who oppose me will not succeed and will be left behind

You and all them white girls, party of five
I acknowledge and appreciate the diversity of my fans and supporters

Are we drinking a lil' more? I can hardly decide
Let's continue to celebrate and enjoy our success

I can't believe we really made it, I'm partly surprised, I swear
Despite my confidence and success, I am still sometimes amazed at what I have achieved

Damn, this one for the books, man
This moment will be remembered and celebrated for a long time to come

I swear this shit is as fun as it looks, man
I am genuinely enjoying my success and all of the perks that come with it

I'm really tryna make it more than what it is
I am always striving for greater success and pushing myself to achieve more

'Cause everybody dies, but not everybody lives, ah
I recognize the importance of making the most out of my time on earth and living life to the fullest

This is my moment
I am taking ownership of my success and enjoying the spotlight

I waited all my
I have worked hard and waited patiently for this moment to come

Life, I can tell it's time
I can sense that my hard work is paying off and that success is within reach

Drifting away, I'm
I am letting go of my past struggles and focusing on my present success

One with the sunsets
I feel at peace and connected with the world around me

I have become alive
My success has given me new life and purpose

This is my moment for life
I am savoring this moment of success and achievement

I just feel so alive
My success has given me a new sense of energy and purpose
