Jay-Z - Lucky Me Lyrics
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 *****a go round and hate a niggaHe never even met that he dont even know and shit?I think this rap shit is all beefY'all dont even know every day i'm livin with stressGot up out the streets you think a nigga could restCan't even enjoy myself at a party unlessI'm on the dance floor hot ass vestYou think i'm freakin' these chicks right?I'try not to brush against they chestYou get a lawsuit for shit like that, i feel trappedSwear to everything when i leave this earthIt's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirtYou could try me *****a but when i squeeze it hurts, fineWe'll lose two lives, yours and minesGimme any amount of time dont let ms. carter grieveAt the funeral parlor drippin' tears on my sleeveTold the judge didn't budge it was him or meAnd i ain't trying to be hard but i'm guilty as chargedPut my mercy on this court and my faith in godAnd pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars...lucky meChorus: karen andersonYou only know what you see,You dont understand what it takes to be me.I hate all girls with alterior motivesThat's why i'm twenty plus years old, no sons no daughtersHate putting my life in the hands of fake promotersHear the hate in my voice right? i hate that you noticedNiggas wanna strip to the bone for shit you ownHate a nigga like that faggot, get your ownHate that i can't roam the street without the clip and chromeKnowing one day im'a have to flip, c'monYou know the shit don't stop 'til the crist don't popAnd you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't lockI'm trapped the whole worlds against me in fact,It aint no turning back. bring it onHate the price of fame cause it cost too muchCan i live without y'all niggas saying i floss too much?Hate the way you make this hate flow all through usSteady looking for flaws through us.... lucky meChorus: karen anderson, jay-zYou only know what you see,You dont understand what it takes to be meYou 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 arrivedI see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)Nigga see you in the street, pretend to be friendlyBut i know any type of success breeds envyI know in the back of your mind your conjuring ways to hen meLeave my friends in a circle pouring out hennyBut g's is heaven bound so how i'm gon' receiveAnything y'all pour to the ground next time throw it upAnd ain't nothing changed so even in my afterlife i show it upDont grieve for me my art remainsLike a dart from the speaker to your heartSpiritually through the portal now my words as a mortalPlan to leave without a fight i plant a seed i give lifeThough i can't see past the girls greed to call her wifeNext time your thinking heist better be preciseCause i'm fully prepared. one of us is gon' leave hereI have no regrets even though i wanna see growMy godsons boogie, sonny and rimoChorus x 4
