Millions of people in the last 6 months, just recently discovered you only live once,
She took hers off, rip yours off,
Now dance on the stage till your wig falls off,
Ignore the consequences at all costs,
Convince yourself this isn't your loss,
Last time I said YOLO, my chain swung from the left to the right
And I still can't remember the rest of the night,
It's not even a comic, it's a par,
Nathan I'm sorry for the vomit in your car,
But you know bro, YOLO
It's an inefficient reminder that inhibitions are minor,
Release is a must like a proper safe account,
Cos life's like a calculator and a shotter's amount of paper,
At the end of the day, you gotta make it count,
So I live for the moment,
Reassess what I'm prepared to give to the moment,
Allow my focus to shift to the moment,
Symbolized in this drink that I live to the gift of the moment,
Means I'm less likely not to share a detail,
But increase the times I forgot to wear a seatbelt,
See girls, we males, we could toast to good health but we toast to getting [?],
So we can say that we're young and we're supposed to get it wrong,
That's why we get lean as opposed to getting strong,
Then go to the gym and work on our upper body strength,
But we hardly go on treads cos that's cardio and legs,
See we're short sighted, we don't know what foresight is,
That's the reason why we laugh whole heartedly,
And why I don't respect you if you can't go-kart with me,
Nah, don't start with me, you fool,
You blaze a fag, but since when have you been too cool for laser tag,
So you work in an office and your day's a drag,
Cuz, On the way to the station just race a jag,
The wipe the sweat from you face and brag,
About your new found Jason Statham swag,
That's called YOLO,
But I could lose a brother that fell out with me,
And that would bother the hell of out me,
So I'm tearing and calling him up in the prison,
Hearing him falling in love with the vision,
Of when he's here and we can ball in another division,
And you hear from me that all of the brothers have risen,
I'm repeating myself, no, I keep repeating myself,
All my poems are starting to sound the same,
But it's cool, as long as my heart isn't down the drain,
I wouldn't even mind getting martyred without the fame,
Cos you only live once, you gotta make it count,
As much as its a reason to go mad in the rave,
I'm so glad it's a wave, cos this one makes sense,
It's just used to justify a lot of dumb statements,
I could live my life like a music video,
But those after effects do stick with me so,
If I use yolo to help me to sin,
Then why wouldn't I use it to help people win,
Especially those with unhealthy beginnings,
Plus if that's the case, you can't tell me a thing,
I might as well be a king,
Cos I can get wasted and buzz about for days,
But that says more about me than it does about the phrase,
And this is something everyone doesn't like to say,
But breathing is a luxury and I could die today,
But I would like some change, like a shopkeeper,
So I can't ignore the fact that life's a lot deeper,
Some stuff isn't worth the bull,
Cos some of that dumb stuff's irreversible,
This isn't personal, but I tell myself don't go too crazy,
Cos yolo could leave you with a whole new baby,
Or if not, the prospect of terminating one,
We find germinating fun, but learning ain't the one,
And some of those STIs can burn and they can bun,
And if I am very loose and you see me with the pills and the cranberry juice,
You'd be looking at me like I'm actually scum,
The point is yolo doesn't have to be dumb,
There's no doubt in my brain that you can change the world,
I'd go out of my way to prove that they can tell,
But if the stake's too high, you gotta take it down,
I said if the stake's too high you gotta take it down,
Cos you only live once, you gotta make it count.
