[Hook: Nas]
Live now, n***as
There's no promise of a second time around, put it down
We'll just (live), live now, there's no reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just (live), live now, we spending
Not under the ground yet, we enjoying every second, yo (Uh)
Live now, don't forget to, bro
Yeah, 'cause I promise you you'll regret it, bro

[Verse 1: Nas]
Picture my last days will be so grim
My daughter at my bedside, respirator in me
Eyes dilated, looking skinny, trying to smile
Trying to say something, whole room will quiet down
Just to hear my last words, tears fall down my facial
Why fear anything, it's now too late to
I'm dreaming of a time I was silked out
At the peak of my career, but I always choked out
Leaving mad money on the table at crazy amounts
I would hit the scene for a second and bounce
Admit I did live a little bit, sweet pickle dick
Freaks licked on it, lips I dripped on it, sex, I shot pearl necklaces
On necks and tits, traveled half the world
Wish I traveled the rest of it from QB to Mecca, kid
So if you knew me, you'd be proud to say I left you
With enough memories to resurrect me with
So live now, n***a
[Hook: Nas]
Live now, n***as
There's no promise of a second time around, put it down
We'll just (live), live now, there's no reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just (live), live now, we spending
Not under the ground yet, we enjoying every second, yo (Uh)
Live now, don't forget to, bro
Yeah, 'cause I promise you you'll regret it, bro

[Verse 2: Scarlett]
It's been a long time since you came through to see ya sis
You know I love you, I've been a fan since Genesis
God, I respect you 'cause you never tried to smash
Since we met a while back, and your style was mack
Now I see that you a man after all you been through
A stand-up dude, held me down after Sekou
Need more brothers like you in the hood, would have wifed you if I could
But the white cells in my blood were no good
Said I had it ten years, but I was just a carrier
I thought, "Me a victim?", could never be my character
It's ill Se' passed the way he did, didn't know how to tell him
Just happy it ain't get in our kid
But all the things I did was the flyest
Experiences were priceless, remember days of diamond cuts
Nugget rings, clubs in Queens, Jetta cars
Used to love them things, Barbados, Belize
I stayed over seas, shopping sprees, credit cards
Pockets of G's, left the hood, fattest cribs
To platinum from silver, came back
Bitches calling me the black Liz Taylor, imagine that, rob me?
My n***a would kill ya, they knew the rules
All the planes I flew, n***as I ran through
Lot of unprotected sex, don't know where it came from
Grimy n***as, rich n***as, damn, it ain't a game, son
From the Cayman Islands to the Virgin Islands
Gucci suitcases (coughs), a chick did it, F the screw faces
Critics and fans, they need to get a life
You doin' the right thing, settle down, get a wife now
I grew with you, so you know you make me proud
And most of all, you gotta live now
[Hook: Scarlett]
Live now, n***a
Ain't no promise of a second time around, put it down, would you
Live now, ain't no reason why you shouldn't
Everything is up to you
All you gotta do is just live now, keep spending
Not under the ground yet, keep enjoying every minute, yo
Gotta live it up to the limit, yo
'Cause I promise you, you'll regret it, bro

[Outro: Scarlett]
Son, come close, lemme talk to you
I got music, put it out to the world, let 'em hear it
Look out for little me, one
