About This Track

Big Sean contemplates mortality and ambition over a reflective beat, the chorus built around a simple but weighty premise: a hundred things to do before death arrives. James Fauntleroy's voice floats above the hook, lending it an almost devotional quality, whilst Big Sean's verse cuts through with the specificity of someone who has made it and now worries about losing it all. The threat is real in his telling: haters waiting for a slip, debts owed to dangerous people, the constant pressure of visibility. Royce Da 5'9" and Kendrick Lamar join the track, each bringing their own weight to a song that treats ambition and legacy as inseparable from paranoia and mortality. The production holds space for reflection without sentiment, letting the verses breathe and the hook return like a refrain that won't leave your head.

"100" is a track by Big Sean, from the album Detroit, released 5th September 2012. It's filed under Hip-Hop/Rap. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Big Sean.

Lyrics

100

[Intro: Big Sean]

Ugh (Cannon)

[Chorus: Big Sean, James Fauntleroy]

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Hit all the girls I want and make sure my niggas right

And my family live that life, la-da-da

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Wonderin' if I could live it all in one life

'Cause it could all end in one night, la-da-da

La-da-da, da

La-da-da, as I look up to the sky

I thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

[Verse 1: Big Sean]

Couple niggas on a hit list and bitches on a different type

Same shit, different nights, 'til I live a different life

"Sean, you lookin' tired," damn, homie, that's all?

I've been stressin' so hard I'm surprised I ain't goin' bald

Haters prayin' I fall, move back in with my moms

Take online classes and turn back into y'all, hatin'

I guess they want your lights out when you the plug

Niggas wanna catch you slippin' like they pulled the rug

From where they move the drugs, Buddha love

Niggas sleepin' with that MAC and I ain't talkin' 'bout computer love

Owe the wrong people, you a price tag

Now you pray to God, hopin' that you got a Christ tag (God)

Make it where I'm from, stay who I become

Time to raise hell, Satan ain't my son

Take a elevator straight up out the slums to a penthouse view

And have the fam there, too, ugh

[Chorus: Big Sean, James Fauntleroy]

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Hit all the girls I want and make sure my niggas right

And my family live that life, la-da-da

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Wonderin' if I could live it all in one life

'Cause it could all end in one night, la-da-da

La-da-da, da

La-da-da, as I look up to the sky

I thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

[Post-Chorus: James Fauntleroy, Royce da 5'9"]

Ooh-ooh

If I just stop

Breathin'

Even though I got all this motherfuckin'

Money

Won't keep my heart

Beatin'

Just don't wake me

Up (Don't wake me up)

You can't catch me

Dreamin'

About all of this motherfuckin'

Money

Cocaine rush, I'm

Speedin'

Cocaine rush (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Royce da 5'9"]

I'm just a Detroit nigga, nuttin' extra about me

I go extra harder the first second you doubt me

I strive for perfection; at the same time

I'm acceptin' the fact that there'll never be nothin' perfect about me

Shit, I'm just waitin' on a win

Come up with better hooks, the hoes'll take it on the chin

We are 6 Mile-bred, that's why you see our sick style, yeah

Crackhouse flow with a pit downstairs

Momma happy at me, daddy happy at me

The baddest chicks, as y'all can imagine, is chatty, yappin' at me

Five years ago I was in tears

In the back of a paddy wagon, now I'm Cali swaggin'

Huh, my nigga, listen, I'm over the fame

You number one? I'm number 23, my mission

Is to take over the game, you rollin' with lames?

We ain't rollin' the same, I'm the best out in this motherfucker

If I could get a check out of this motherfucker

Big enough to set my kids up for life

I could check out of this motherfucker with no regrets

If you ain't livin' your life for your kids, I ain't givin' your ass no respect

[Chorus: Big Sean, James Fauntleroy, Royce da 5'9"]

As I look up to the sky (Sean, I love you, my nigga, I'm out)

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Hit all the girls I want and make sure my niggas right

And my family live that life, la-da-da

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Wonderin' if I could live it all in one life

'Cause it could all end in one night, la-da-da

La-da-da, da

La-da-da, as I look up to the sky

I thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]

I gotta break your fuckin' heart

I gotta climb these fuckin' charts (I gotta climb 'em)

I gotta do something that's innovative, creative, just to create a

Legacy before death do us part, I gotta spend one

Summer in Tijuana with Tia and Tia's momma

Breakfast in bed is head with plenty Carne Asada

I gotta, I gotta find me a wife to elope

I got a—I got a fine, 'cause I ain't wanna vote, I promise

I know the history of those who died

For the rights for me to survive but those who lied

To the minority will make 'em turn inside they grave

I can easily pretend like y'all but that's not me

I gotta spread the truth even when the truth can hurt

The youths need to know every detail about this Earth

The Devil controls it, so before you scrutinize how I feel

Ask God if them polls important, the end is near

[Chorus: Big Sean, James Fauntleroy]

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Hit all the girls I want and make sure my niggas right

And my family live that life, la-da-da

As I look up to the sky

Thought about a hunnid things to do before I die

Wonderin' if I could live it all in one life

'Cause it could all end in one night, la-da-da

La-da-da, da

La-da-da, as I look up to the sky

I thought about a hunnid things to do before I die
