[Intro: Jimmy Nice & Nick Lupi]
Here today, gone tomorrow
Ayy Jimmy, yeah, what up brother?
They got this saying in France, right
Right? They say if only the young could know
If only the old could do, here today, gone tomorrow, right?
Let's make it happen, let's get it
[Verse 1: Nick Lupi]
They say you're here today
Then you're gone the next for the rest who clear the way
In this padded cell my calendar yells, clock screaming as I sit here and wait
Waiting for the train, waiting for the flight, waiting all day, waiting all night
Waiting for my break, waiting in line, waiting on fate, waiting for time
But time doesn't wait, nah, see time just takes its time
While we debate how our time on this place just may be defined
Get a ready routine in retrospect seemed to be how we passed the time
Till the point that this path we line can't be any more than a couple minute till we headed for the casket line
But not me, no, I'm never stalling, until I'm called gotta put my all in
And that could've been this morning, so I spend time like money and I'm balling
Uh, till I call the top spot my own then I fall like stocks
Can't speed date the best of the West, these times right here are all I got
[Chorus: Solo, Jimmy Nice & Nice Lupi]
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
So when we are no more don't be showing no sorro—
O—o—o—o—ow, oh yeah
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
But as long as we still here we gon' tell 'em that
We can't, no, we won't, no, we never gonna stop, no
[Verse 2: Jimmy Nice]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, ah
Live for the day, your man's on a mission, still waking up with stamps on the wrist and
I could go to work or surf, play sport, go camping or fishing
I think the time's right, my granddaddy always told me, "You know, boy
It's not what you know, it's who you know, boy" that's why I keep my ties tight
Thanks for that pop, the game that I got now allows me to take your reins
Coal train vandals, now [?] samples, J. done changed
Scallywags arrive, paddywagon lights, no chase, no taking names
Write rhymes till I get that dose, the right time for me to switch that flow though
So we gon' live it and then he gon' keep on chippin' away
Till we get what we deserve, until then I'm free as a bird
Oh my, this feeling's superb and I don't wanna ever let it go, gotta grab that
End my life now [?] the blackjack table, [?] and get a stack back
[?] don't ever wanna ever want to blink again
I'ma live it up right, and wake up like, "Baby, I don't ever want to drink again"
Forget boundaries, you get by, now rockin' with a new best guy
What? How? Where? Who? When? Why? Motherf*ckering try Jimmy, better think again
[Chorus (Extended): Solo, Jimmy Nice & Nice Lupi]
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
So when we are no more don't be showing no sorro—
O—o—o—o—ow, oh yeah
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
But as long as we still here we gon' tell 'em that
We can't, no, we won't, no, we never gonna stop, no
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
So when we are no more don't be showing no sorro—
O—o—o—o—ow, oh yeah
They say you're here today and then you're gone tomorro—
O—o—o—o—ow—ow—ow
But as long as we still here we gon' tell 'em that
We can't, no, we won't, no, we never gonna stop
[Outro/Collision: Jimmy Nice]
Yeah
This one's for my, man
[?] right here
I miss you brother, you'll always be in our thoughts
You'll always be here with us
You ain't going nowhere, man
This way you'll live forever brother
See you soon
