How can you fairly assess something from the outside looking in?
|
|
There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong. Nah Mean?
|
|
How can a mother fucka go round and hate a nigga
|
|
he never even met that he dont even know and shit?
|
|
I think this rap shit is all beef
|
|
Y'all dont even know every day I'm livin with stress
|
|
Got up out the streets you think a nigga could rest
|
|
Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless
|
|
I'm on the dance floor hot ass vest
|
|
You think I'm freakin' these chicks right?
|
|
I'try not to brush against they chest
|
|
You get a lawsuit for shit like that, I feel trapped
|
|
Swear to everything when I leave this earth
|
|
It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
|
|
You could try me fucka but when I squeeze it hurts, fine
|
|
We'll lose two lives, yours and mines
|
|
Gimme any amount of time dont let Ms. Carter grieve
|
|
at the funeral parlor drippin' tears on my sleeve
|
|
Told the judge didn't budge it was him or me
|
|
and I ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as charged
|
|
Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God
|
|
And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars...Lucky Me
|
|
Chorus: Karen Anderson
|
|
You only know what you see,
|
|
You dont understand what it takes to be me.
|
|
I hate all girls with alterior motives
|
|
That's why I'm twenty plus years old, no sons no daughters
|
|
Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters
|
|
Hear the hate in my voice right? I hate that you noticed
|
|
Niggas wanna strip to the bone for shit you own
|
|
Hate a nigga like that faggot, get your own
|
|
Hate that I can't roam the street without the clip and chrome
|
|
Knowing one day Im'a have to flip, c'mon
|
|
You know the shit don't stop 'til the Crist don't pop
|
|
And you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't lock
|
|
I'm trapped the whole worlds against me in fact,
|
|
It aint no turning back. Bring It On
|
|
Hate the price of fame cause it cost too much
|
|
Can I live without y'all niggas saying I floss too much?
|
|
Hate the way you make this hate flow all through us
|
|
Steady looking for flaws through us.... Lucky Me
|
|
Chorus: Karen Anderson, Jay-Z
|
|
You only know what you see,
|
|
You dont understand what it takes to be me
|
|
You only know what you see,
|
|
(Since I was 4 years old, I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold)
|
|
You dont understand what it takes to be me
|
|
(And now that I've arrived
|
|
I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)
|
|
Nigga see you in the street, pretend to be friendly
|
|
But I know any type of success breeds envy
|
|
I know in the back of your mind your conjuring ways to hen me
|
|
Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny
|
|
But G's is heaven bound so how I'm gon' receive
|
|
Anything y'all pour to the ground next time throw it up
|
|
And ain't nothing changed so even in my afterlife I show it up
|
|
Dont grieve for me my art remains
|
|
like a dart from the speaker to your heart
|
|
Spiritually through the portal now my words as a mortal
|
|
Plan to leave without a fight I plant a seed I give life
|
|
Though I can't see past the girls greed to call her wife
|
|
Next time your thinking heist better be precise
|
|
Cause I'm fully prepared. One of us is gon' leave here
|
|
I have no regrets even though I wanna see grow
|
|
My godsons Boogie, Sonny and Rimo
