Sweet
(专辑: American Gangster - 2007)
Sweet and still there's pain (pain, pain, pain) If I
would have grew up to be a
doctor My nephews would have grew up to do the
same (same, same) But since I
grew up through the
game And my influence is the
same And my therapy is music They ask if you ashamed (ashamed) And though I
wish I
could separate the
two things I
cannot so my answer to you remains I
can walk down the
Hall of Mirrors in Versailles And be so satisfied when I
look myself in the
eyes No shame, no sir Just big boats and tearing the
coast up Tight coupes like I'm wearing the
roadster For any coupe, bear-hugging the
holster Hov', alright alright And it may not be what you call perfect, but But it's my life (uh) The
life (uh-uh), the
life (uh-uh), the
life Once again it's the
life So I
make no apologies, crooked policies So a G a
nigga gotta be We playing for property, no Monopoly So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me They say the
child shall lead So I
take it far as I
can and then we shall see Shall we dance with the
devil for a
beat I
pray to God I
ain't got two left feet Do the
hustle put keys in the
street Then I'm ballroom dancing Ke-ke-ing in the
suite Sweet, BB's on the
feet TV's in the
seat, enemies on the
creep It's so corrupt Soak it up, it's a
lesson, every fuck up One day you're up Next day you're down Long as you stay the
same it'll come back around Hov', alright alright And it may not be what you call perfect, but But it's my life (uh) The
life (uh-uh), the
life (uh-uh), the
life Once again it's the
life I'm even better I'm eating better Best thing about it is My niggas eating together With each endeavor, we reaching levels Niggas ain't seen in like forever I'm Hyman Roth, so made all my partners rich I
can't vouch for you If you ain't a
part of this So pardon me as I
pave my wrist, uh As I
parlay my chips Hov', alright alright American gangster, gangster Businesses like I'm white But I'm not, I'm just bright So fly with no fear of the
flight, uh So if y'all hear my plight And if you think you can make it this far without a
fight Couple mistakes here and there Not always right, but I'm always real That's how I
sleep at night Hov', alright alright And it may not be what you call perfect, but But it's my life (uh) The
life (uh-uh), the
life (uh-uh), the
life Once again it's the
life Sweet
