[Intro]
Oom-ba-la-la-la-la
Oom-ba-la-la-la-la
Oom-ba-la-la-la-la
(Oh, oh) Oom-ba-la-la-la-la
[Verse 1]
Young Tiffany-Rose
So sick of the posts
So sick of the hoes in the media
Out washing up bowls
Down on Ladbroke Grove
Tryna go with the girls to Antigua
She wanna be on a stage in a feature
Twenty-something, still figuring out things
She got a long way to go
And got a whole lot of soul
But she a big ol’ believer and she say
[Pre-Chorus]
“My god
In the city I love and I’m
Still yet to make it
Ahh, it’s tough out here but I’ll be dead
Before I let it break me”
She say
“My god
I be pushing my luck
Gettin’ stressed out and wasted
It’s rough out hеre but I’ll be dead
Bеfore I let it break me”
[Chorus]
‘Cause there are moments in a lifetime
When things don’t go your way
Spending Friday nights at Julie’s
Spending Saturday with Jane
And even when the days are dark
The skies are looking gray
Oh, it’s just a moment in a lifetime
And it’s not here to stay
I swear it’s not
Not here to stay
No, it ain’t
No-ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Look, look
Young Billy the kid
Tryna shuffle up shit
Tryna shoot some hoops in the league, yeah
His papa a dentist
M-Mama a chemist
Young Billy ain’t gon’ be either
Looking for the right place and right people
Twenty-something, still figuring out things
He got a long way to go
But got a whole lot of soul
‘Cause he a big ol’ believer and he said
[Pre-Chorus]
“My god
In the city I love and I’m
Still yet to make it
Ahh, it’s tough out here but I’ll be dead
Before I let it break me”
He said
“My god
I be pushing my luck
Getting stressed out and wasted
Ah, it’s rough out here but I’ll be dead
Before I let it break me”
[Chorus]
‘Cause there are moments in a lifetime
When things don’t go your way
Spendin’ Friday nights at Julie’s
Spendin’ Saturday with Jane
And even when the days are dark
The skies are looking gray
Oh, it’s just a moment in a lifetime
And it’s not here to stay
[Outro]
I swear it’s not
Not here to stay
No, it ain’t
Not here to stay
It’s just a moment in a lifetime
And it’s not here to stay
