[00:05.51]Sweet!
[00:05.76]And still there's pain
[00:08.33]If I would have grew up to be a doctor, my nephew would have grew up to do the same
[00:16.64]But since I grew up through the game, and my influence is the same
[00:21.33]And my therapy is music, they ask if you ashamed
[00:25.33]And though I wish I could separate, two things,
[00:28.01]I cannot, so my answer to you remains
[00:30.14]I can walk down the hall or mirrors, in Versailles
[00:32.83]And be so satisfied when I look a myself in the eyes
[00:35.89]No shame, no sir, just big boats and tearing the coast up
[00:41.08]Tight coup like I'm wearing the roadster,
[00:43.58]For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster.
[00:46.20]Hov, alright, alright
[00:47.77]And that may not be
[00:49.08]What you call perfect
[00:50.14]But, but it's my life
[00:51.77]The life, the life, the life
[00:55.45]Once again it's the life
[00:56.95]So I make no apologies
[00:57.95]Crooked policies
[00:58.39]
[01:00.41]So a G a ***** gotta be
[01:02.23]We playing for property, no monopoly
[01:04.35]So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me
[01:08.04]They say the child shall lead,
[01:09.54]So I take it far as I can, and then we shall see
[01:12.60]Shall we dance with the devil, for a beat
[01:15.17]I pray to God I ain't got two left feet
[01:17.85]Do the hustle, put keys in the street
[01:20.04]Then I'm ballroom dancing, ke-ke'ing in the suite
[01:23.16]Sweet.
[01:23.98]BB's on the feet, TV's in the seat
[01:26.54]Enemies on the creep
[01:29.79]It's so corrupt
[01:31.16]Soak it up
[01:32.04]It's a lesson, never ***** up
[01:33.54]One day you're up, next day you're down
[01:35.97]Long as you stay the same, it will come back around
[01:38.42]Hov, alright, alright
[01:39.16]And that may not be
[01:41.66]What you call perfect
[01:43.10]But, but it's my life
[01:44.41]The life, the life, the life
[01:48.10]Once again it's the life
[01:49.48]I'm even better, I'm eating better
[01:51.79]Best thing about it is, my *****s eating together
[01:54.67]With each endeavor
[01:55.85]We reaching levels, *****s ain't seen in like forever
[01:59.85]I'm hyman roth I make all my partners rich
[02:02.60]I can vouch for you, if you ain't a part of this
[02:05.42]So pardon me as I pave my wrist
[02:08.41]As I parlay my chips, Hov!
[02:10.41]Alright, alright, American Gangster, ganster, business like I'm white
[02:15.79]But I'm not, I'm just bright
[02:18.35]So fly with no fear of the flight
[02:21.48]So if y'all hear my plight
[02:23.41]And if you think you can make it this far without a fight

[02:28.72]But I'm always real, that's how I sleep at night
[02:31.35]Hov, alright, alright
