Moment 4 Life )
Nicki Minaj Lyrics

I fly with the stars in the skies,
I am achieving great things and reaching new heights, like flying among the stars in the sky.

I am no longer trying to survive,
I am thriving and succeeding, no longer just struggling to get by.

I believe that life is a prize,
I see life as a reward, something to be cherished and appreciated.

But to live doesn't mean you're alive,
Simply existing is not the same as truly living and experiencing all that life has to offer.

Don't worry bout me and who I fire
I am not concerned with those who may have wronged me or been let go, I am focusing on my own success.

I get what I desire it's my empire
I am achieving all that I set out to do, building my own empire of success.

And yes I call the shots I am the umpire
I am in control of my own destiny, making the decisions that shape my life.

I sprinkle holy water upon the vampire
I am able to overcome negativity and challenges, like holy water repels vampires.

In this very moment I'm king
I am at the height of my success, feeling on top of the world like a king.

This very moment I slay Goliath with a sling,
I am overcoming great challenges like David slaying the giant Goliath with a mere sling.

This very moment I bring
I am bringing success and greatness to everything I do, right here and right now.

Put it on everything that I will retire with the ring,
I am confident that I will end my career on a high note, like a champion retiring with the championship ring.

And I will retire with the crown, yes!
I will end my career as the undisputed champion, on top of the world with the crown.

No I'm not lucky I'm blessed, yes!
My success is not just about luck, but also a blessing and the result of hard work and talent.

Clap for the heavyweight champ, me!
Celebrate my success like the world applauds a heavyweight champion boxer.

But I couldn't do it all alone, we!
Although I am the face of my success, I have had the support and help of others along the way.

Young Money raised me, grew up out in Baisley
My success is partly due to being nurtured and supported by the Young Money label, and growing up in Baisley.

Southside Jamaica, Queens and it's crazy
My upbringing in Southside Jamaica, Queens was challenging and intense.

'Cause I'm still hood, Hollywood couldn't change me
Despite my success and fame, I have not forgotten my roots and remain true to myself and my upbringing.

Shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn't phase me
Even those who wished me ill or tried to bring me down have not been able to shake my confidence and success.

Ain't being cocky we just vindicated, best believe that when were done
Our success has proved our doubters wrong, and we are confident that we will continue to do so in future endeavors.

Our success is so great that it will be remembered and celebrated for years to come, broadcasted for all to see.

I don't know, this night just remind me of
This moment makes me reflect on all that I have accomplished and all that I am capable of achieving.

Everything that they deprived me of
This moment reminds me of all the opportunities and experiences that I was once denied, but have now achieved through hard work.

Put ya drinks up,
Raise your glasses in celebration of our success and achievements.

It's a celebration every time we link up
Whenever we come together, it's a celebration of our collective success and the progress we have made.

We done did everything they can think of
We have achieved all that was once thought impossible, surpassed expectations, and defied limitations.

Greatness is what we on the brink of
We are on the cusp of achieving even greater things and reaching new heights of success and greatness.

I wish that I could have this moment for life, for life, for life
I want to savor this moment of success and happiness and keep it with me forever, for the rest of my life.

'Cause in this moment I just feel so alive, alive, alive
This moment is full of energy and life, and I am fueled by my success and happiness.

What I tell 'em hoes bow bow bow to me, drop down to ya knees
I demand respect and admiration from those who doubted me or opposed me, asserting my power and dominance.

Young Money the Mafia that's word to Lil' Cease
We are a powerful and influential group, like a mafia, and we take inspiration from rapper Lil' Cease.

Niggas wanna be friends how coincidental
Others who once opposed or criticized me now want to be friends, but I find it suspicious and convenient.

This supposed to be ya'll year we ain't get the memo
Others thought this was their time for success, but they were wrong and did not get the memo.

A young King, pay me in gold

Others should be afraid of our power and success, and what we may do next.

These other rappers getting bodied and carried away
Other rappers are being overshadowed and surpassed by our success, and may even be defeated by us.

Fuck it me and Nicki Nick gettin' married today
This line is likely not literal, but expresses the closeness and collaboration between myself and fellow rapper Nicki Minaj.

And now you bitches that be hatin' can catch a bouquet, ooh
Those who have tried to bring us down or opposed us can now feel the sting of our success, like catching the bouquet at a wedding.

Yeah, you a star in my eyes, you and all them white girls party of five
Others may see me as a star, but I also acknowledge and appreciate the talent and success of others, including a group of white girls.

Are we drinking a lil' more I can hardly decide
We are celebrating and enjoying our success, indulging in a bit more alcohol than we intended.

I can't believe we really made it I'm partly surprised, I swear
I am amazed by and grateful for our success, feeling partially surprised and in disbelief.

Damn, this one for the books, man!
Our success and achievements will go down in history, being remembered and celebrated for a long time.

I swear this shit is as fun as it looks, man!
Our success and celebration is just as enjoyable and exciting as it appears to outsiders.

I'm really tryna make it more than what it is,
I am striving to continue and build upon my success, making it more than just a fleeting moment of happiness.

'Cause everybody dies but not everybody lives, ah!
This moment and our success reminds me that many people simply exist and never truly live and experience all that life has to offer.

This is my moment, I waited all my life I can tell its time
This moment of success and happiness is what I have been working towards and waiting for my whole life, and I know that it is the right time.

Drifting away I'm one with the sunsets, I have become alive.
My success has allowed me to let go of stress and negativity, feeling at peace and alive in the beauty of the sunset.
