Moment 4 Life (feat. Drake)

I fly with the stars in the skies
I am no longer tryin' to survive
I believe that life is a prize
But to live doesn't mean you're alive
Don't worry 'bout me and who I fire
I get what I desire, it's my empire
And, yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire
I sprinkle holy water upon a vampire

In this very moment, I'm king
In this very moment, I slay Goliath with a sling
This very moment, I bring
Put it on everythin' that I will retire with the ring
And I will retire with the crown, yes
No, I'm not lucky, I'm blessed, yes
Clap for the heavyweight champ, me
But I couldn't do it all alone, we
Young Money raised me, grew up out in Baisley
Southside Jamaica, Queens, and it's crazy
'Cause I'm still hood, Hollywood couldn't change me
Shout out to my haters, sorry that you couldn't faze me
Ain't bein' cocky, we just vindicated
Best believe that when we done, this moment will be syndicated
I don't know, this night just remind me of
Everything they deprived me of (yeah)

Put your drinks up
It's a celebration every time we link up
We done did everythin' they can think of
Greatness is what we on the brink of

I wish that I could have this moment for life
For life, for life
'Cause in this moment, I just feel so alive
Alive, alive

I wish that I could have this moment for life (I could have this moment)
For life (I could have this moment), for life (I could have this moment)
This is my moment, I just feel so alive (I could have this moment)
Alive (I could have this moment), alive (I could have this moment)

What I tell them hoes? Bow, bow, bow to me, drop down to your knees
Young Money the mafia, that's word to Lil' Cease
I'm in the Dominican, Big Papi Ortiz
Doin' target practice, all these bitches just aimin' to please
Shout out to the CEO, 500 Degreez
Shout out to the OVO, red wings and fatigues, oh
Niggas wanna be friends, how coincidental
This supposed to be y'all year? We ain't get the memo

A young king, pay me in gold
40 got a bunch of weed he ain't even roll
These niggas be droppin' songs, they ain't even cold
Weezy on top and that nigga ain't even home yet
Yeah, be very afraid
These other rappers gettin' bodied and carried away
Fuck it, me and Nicki Nick gettin' married today
And all you bitches that be hatin' can catch a bouquet, uh

Yeah, you a star in my eyes
You and all them white girls, party of five
Are we drinkin' a lil' more? I can hardly decide
I can't believe we really made it, I'm partly surprised, I swear
Damn, this one for the books, man
I swear this shit is as fun as it looks, man
I'm really tryna make it more than what it is
'Cause everybody dies, but not everybody lives, uh

I wish that I could have this moment for life
For life, for life
'Cause in this moment, I just feel so alive
Alive, alive

I wish that I could have this moment for life (I could have this moment)
For life (I could have this moment), for life (I could have this moment)
This is my moment, I just feel so alive (I could have this moment)
Alive (I could have this moment), alive (I could have this moment)
For life

This is my moment
I waited all my
Life, I can tell it's time
Driftin' away, I'm
One with the sunsets
I have become alive

I wish that I could have this moment for life
For life, for life
'Cause in this moment, I just feel so alive
Alive, alive

I wish that I could have this moment for life (I could have this moment)
For life (I could have this moment), for life (I could have this moment)
This is my moment, I just feel so alive (I could have this moment)
Alive (I could have this moment), alive (I could have this moment)
For life

A letra reflete um momento de triunfo na vida da artista, onde ela se sente viva e plena, desejando congelar esse instante no tempo. A canção é um hino de empoderamento e autoafirmação, onde Minaj expressa sua gratidão e reconhece sua jornada até o estrelato.

No início da música, Nicki Minaj fala sobre sua ascensão e como ela construiu seu próprio império. Ela usa metáforas como 'I slay Goliath with a sling' para ilustrar sua capacidade de superar grandes desafios, e 'I will retire with the crown' para enfatizar sua determinação em ser a melhor e permanecer no topo.

'Moment 4 Life' é um lembrete para valorizar os momentos de alegria e sucesso, e viver a vida ao máximo.
