The Roots - YOLO (Live Performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) lyrics

[Intro: Andy Samberg] 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 [Hook 1: Jimmy Fallon] You know that we are still young So don't be dumb Don't trust anyone Cause you only live once Verse 1: Kiv, Jorm, & Andy Ugh, you only live once That's 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 d** 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 Build a bomb shelter basement With titanium walls And wear titanium suits In case pianos fall on you And never go to saunas Cause they're crawlin' with piranhas And never take the stairs Cause they're often unsafe You only live once Don't let it go to waste [Hook 2: Jimmy Fallon] 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 [Verse 2: Jorm, Kiv, & Andy] 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 choke you in your sleep Two words about furniture: k**ing machines Board your windows up The sun is bad for your health And always wear a straight jacket So you're safe from yourself [Verse 3: Black Thought] Uh huh, yeah Gotta get your money right mind right And by the year 2020 like hindsight You could have your portfolio diversified like Stocks and bonds and hustles on the side right A bunch to buy a bunch of crazy-a** nonsense You wake up in the morning Fabergé egg omelets That's money and then some To spend some and lend some It's disposable income You only live once, right? [Bridge: All] YOLO, say no no Isolate yourself And just roll solo Be care-folo You oughta look out Also stands for YOLO [Hook 3: Jimmy Fallon] 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 [Outro: All] 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
