Shah - Memorize This Moment lyrics

Look at your surroundings, listen close, enjoy the view cause

You could say you heard me rap before I got too big for music

They were like holy, he’s the one and the only

Keepin’ their eye up on me, pyramid on the o.n.e. (anuit coptis)

Dear poppa, givin’ me your all every moment since my birth

And ma, the hardest workin’ most beautiful woman on this earth (I love you)

Made it through them hard times, closer cause what happened

I love you more than words convey, these bars don't do a fraction

And now the odds are on me, they used to be against

I was once the underdog, how quickly they forget

Y’all can start hatin’ or ride the band wagon

Ain’t no beatin’ me, so join or get the fuck out the way

Hook:

Said we wouldn’t get here

Makes the triumph sweeter

Now there ain’t no stoppin’ ‘til they say we the greatest

Love or hate it, we made it

Struggle once seemed eternal

Conquering it made me who I am

Now there ain’t no stopping ‘til they say we the greatest

Love or hate it, we made it

Now I’m the panthers prior to Bloods and Crips and FBI

I’m Superman, and I dun found that antidote to kryptonite

Intendin’ on bringin’ a better beginning ending anyone in my way

Re-write the book of life we takin’ over today

Classic like a Cassius fight, Gandhi with an appetite

Turnin’ water into oil, 8 days of candle light

Rappin’ right, past the planets blastin’ past the satellites

Legends never die, I’ll never know the afterlife

Imperfection is impossible for me, fact of life

I bleed sweat breathe the swagger rappers practice like

Sum y’all up, add it twice, still not enough ain’t half as nice

Yonge world order takin’ over, closin’ up your caskets tight

Memorize this moment, hold it close it because

This monumental, tell the children where you was

Reflect and reminisce on the moments that felt perfect

Not-guilty verdicts, and seein’ your people flourish

Limos with your crew a dozen deep celebratin’

This is you getting’ your dream girl, all them years of waitin’ (all them years of waitin’)

Meetin’ with your heroes, them treatin’ you as equals

This the view from Machu Pichu with the clouds underneath you (clouds underneath you)

This your first love, first fuck, first kiss

Sunrise, sunset, full moon, eclipse

This is the moment, so long awaited

This the feelin’ of fulfilment - we finally made it (finally made it)
