Lyrics
This right here, Beautiful Monk, you did that
Message to my son, Mason Mattel, this is for you
Pray you be inspired to be all that you can be
Do all that you can do and see all that you can see
Stop and think like what I built off in this thing before I leave
Build some shit of work of art and maybe make a masterpiece
Statue of David, paint a portrait, make this life a Mona Lisa
Go so far from home and realize that you always been free
Skydiver, ziplining through them tropical rain trees
Hang glider, cave dive in them beautiful island seas
Swiss Alps, adventure out, but you know niggas don't ski
Can't be missing out on life, too scared to try different things
Places I won't be nowadays
On the block I used to play won't feed my needs nowadays
Low vibrational, desperate, and foul nowadays
Washed up and ready to throw in the towel nowadays
Crashing out, going out sad and sour how they play it
Victim to my obligation to hold it down, no way I can't
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now (yeah)
We had help, got it all up off the ground (yeah)
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now
Been through them storms, young man
Done earned his crown (Yeah, uh, yeah)
Told this story so many times in many rhymes
Traveled over the world, it's embedded in many minds
You know my life, you probably heard it a million times
Look at me in my eyes and you might feel a different vibe
You probably living life and ain't been alive
I think it's better off to keep how we feel inside
Sometimes I be getting too deep for they lil' minds
I know you lames sick of being lonely like Thill Mob, you feel mine?
As of lately, I'm going crazy
My wifey done f'd up, she done gave me this lil' baby
I'm working a lil' harder (harder), play it a lil' smarter (smarter)
I know how to act normal when these niggas move shady
Been through a lil' bit, you know we used to drill shit (drill shit)
I done tweaked, I done slapped me a nigga like Will Smith, real shit
So for my family, I'll bleed
I done got into some shit that these niggas wouldn't believe, real shit
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now
We had help, got it all up off the ground
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now
Been through them storms, young man done earned his crown (yeah, yeah)
Everybody can't go save yourself the stress
Benny said it best, y'all know the rest (y'all know the rest)
Wrote this shit, Monk was in WrestleMania, private box with West
Grand Canyon views and steak dinners be the best
In some fly shit, ain't take pics in, brother got me vexed
In the stu' with Grammy holders and niggas who hold the checks
Meanwhile, I spend a ton all night, and I can't get no rest
Snatching bags and doing deals, oh shit, I can't forget my vest
Showing gratitude and grateful for the life my boy done lived
Live vicariously, wait for my time, I know it's gon' be lit
Stories I can tell my kids, places I been all off my gym
Your daddy cold, I'm really him, your mama too, think she my twin
Her booty big, think she might need a Benz
Big body, wide body, just so we can fit it in
Look at her, and she just Quinn
'Cause tonight, she just might do that thing I like again
I got love, I got the win
I got folks, I got hope, I got everything within
Aw, man, goddamn
Life so nice, live it twice, and I enjoy this shit again
Aw man, goddamn
Life so nice, live it twice, y'all know what I'm saying
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now
We had help, got it all up off the ground
Life gon' pass, you don't stop and look around
I do good nowadays, live in the now
Been through them storms, young man done earned his crown (yeah, yeah)
