JAY-Z - Sweet(2007)

[00:00.55] Sweet!
[00:04.89] And still there's pain
[00:07.97] If I would have grew up to be a doctor, my nephew would have grew up to do the same
[00:16.38] But since I grew up through the game, and my influence is the same
[00:19.18] And my therapy is music, they ask if you ashamed
[00:24.80] And though I wish I could separate, two things
[00:27.63] I cannot, so my answer to you remains
[00:29.77] I can walk down the hall or mirrors, in Versailles
[00:32.26] And be so satisfied when I look a myself in the eyes
[00:35.56] No shame, no sir, just big boats and tearing the coast up
[00:40.71] Tight coup like I'm wearing the roadster
[00:43.74] For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster.
[00:45.52] Hov, alright, alright
[00:47.47] And that may not be
[00:48.61] What you call perfect
[00:49.65] But, but it's my life
[00:51.68] The life, the life, the life
[00:55.23] Once again it's the life
[00:55.99] So I make no apologies
[00:57.55] Crooked policies
[00:59.86] So a G a nigga gotta be
[01:01.51] We playing for property, no monopoly
[01:04.08] So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me
[01:07.67] They say the child shall lead
[01:09.19] So I take it far as I can, and then we shall see
[01:12.21] Shall we dance with the devil, for a beat
[01:14.70] I pray to God I ain't got two left feet
[01:17.52] Do the hustle, put keys in the street
[01:19.79] Then I'm ballroom dancing, ke-ke'ing in the suite

[01:35.50] Long as you stay the same, it will come back around
[01:38.04] Hov, alright, alright

[01:41.17] What you call perfect
[01:42.51] But, but it's my life
