Sweet Life
(专辑: Church In These Streets - 2015)
[Janelle Monáe:] Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life All the
darkness, scattered out of sight I've been waiting on this for some time Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind [Jeezy:] When my back's against the
wall then I
react The
point of no return, hey it ain't no coming back Ask me what the
difference is, I
got everything they lack And I
really touched that bag, see I
really had a
sack I
done been to Hell and back, I
seen Lucifer himself I
seen niggas pawn their souls cause they ain't got nothing left Fuck all that hoping and wishing, my nigga, play your position I
know you thought I
wasn't looking but I
was paying attention No you can't see through my shades, just know I'm smiling inside It's like the
old me deceased, I'm kinda glad that I
died This that new and improved, this that I'm in the
mood You know he don't like to lose so why y'all fucking with dude? Hey look it could be that Pac in me, or maybe my prophesy Won't let you drive me crazy, it's like I
studied psychology Ask me my occupation, I
say I
live for a
living Now what you see when you see me? I
did alright for a
villain My sweet life [Janelle Monáe:] Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life All the
darkness, scattered out of sight I've been waiting on this for some time Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind [Jeezy:] I
guess the
haters ain't so bad after all I'm looking forward to my haters coming after y'all Boy you sure had me fooled, you should've been an actor, dawg My success, it make you jump like you've been drinking alcohol Yeah I'm 'bout to go so hard, I'ma make these niggas sick Ain't no neutral, what's your side? I'ma make you niggas pick Hey I
don't know everything, I
just know what I
know Why would you follow them niggas? They don't even know where to go Won't see me do no complaining, maybe some rearranging Now let's get this understood, sometimes some change can be good Could be good, could be great, your destiny or your fate If I
wasn't a
ghetto prophet I'd still be moving the
weight Yeah you know when I'm winning, you see me out and i'm grinning Been chasing paper since Monday, that's 7
days I've been sinning Count your tests and blessings cause they're all God-given Like it's the
big magic question, how did I
dodge prison? My sweet life [Janelle Monáe:] Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life All the
darkness, scattered out of sight I've been waiting on this for some time Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind
