YOLO (feat. Adam Levine & Kendrick Lamar)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

(Yolo) yolo, you only live once

The battle cry of a generation

This life is a precious gift

So don’t get too crazy

It’s not worth the risk

You know that we are still young

So don’t be dumb

Don’t trust anyone

'Cause you only live once

Ugh, you only live once

Thats the motto

So take a chill pill

Ease off the throttle

Never go to loud clubs

'Cause it’s bad for your ears

Your friends will all be sorry

When they can’t hear

And stay the hell away from drugs

'Cause they’re not legal

Then bury all your money in the backyard

Like a beagle

'Cause you should never trust a bank

They’ve been known to fail

And never travel by car, a bus

Boat or by rail

And don’t travel by plane

And don’t travel at all

Built a bomb shelter basement

With titanium walls

And where titanium suits

In case pianos fall on ya

And never go in saunas

'Cause they’re crawlin’ with piranhas

And never take the stairs

'Cause they’re oftenl unsafe

You only live once

Don’t let it go to waste

You know that we are still young

So hold off on the fun

Cook your meat ’til it’s done

'Cause you only live once

Yeah

And here’s another piece of advice:

Stay away from kids

'Cause their hair is filled with mad lice

There’s no such thing

As too much purell

This a cautionary tale

Word to george orwell

So don’t 1980-force

Any plugs into sockets

Always wear a chastity belt

And triple lock it

Then hire a taster

Make him check your food for poison

And if you think your mailman is a spy

Then destroy him

No blankets or pajamas

They can kill you in your sleep

Two words about furniture

Killing machines

Board your windows up

The sun is bad for your health

And always wear a straight jacket

So your safe from yourself

Take no chances (no chances)

Stop freelancin’ (right now)

Invest in your future

Don’t dilute your finances (uh huh)

401K, make sure it’s low risk

Then get some real estate (how much?)

4.2% Thirty year mortgage

That’s important, that’s a great deal

And if you can’t afford it

Don’t forge it on your last bill

Renting is for suckers right now

A dependable savings

And you’ll retire with money in your account

Beast

Yolo, say no no

Isolate yourself

And just roll solo

Be care-folo

You oughta look out

Also stands for yolo

You know that we are still young

Burn the prints off your thumbs

Then pull out all your teeth

So you can’t bite your tongue

Only on this earth for a short time, time

So don’t go outside, cause you don’t want to die, die

Just take our advice and hide

And scream, "Yolo" to the sky

You oughta look out
