[00:12.246][Verse 1]
[00:14.039]Listen
[00:15.001]Ave Maria, I hold onto my rosary
[00:16.788]We come and go like we leaves
[00:18.927]As it was written, shall it be done?
[00:20.553]I was born in the Croix-des-Bouquets slums
[00:22.692]Light a candle, it's my birthday
[00:24.317]No velvet, just a dirt cake
[00:26.040]Cemetery was my play pen
[00:28.178]Come meet my imaginary friends
[00:29.787]My daddy, he Haitian like Basquiat father
[00:31.512]So every time I write, I'm painting a picture
[00:33.644]Some family took a boat to get to Brooklyn
[00:35.670]But they never made it, I cried me a ocean
[00:37.282]I went from boys to men overnight
[00:39.083]So hard to say goodbye on a flight
[00:40.852]Two twins look like God's pillars
[00:43.013]First time seen the skyscraper
[00:44.649]Tall woman with a big torch, welcome to Liberty New York
[00:48.385]God city with the devil's alley
[00:50.528]Keep the crucifixion 'cause the demon on me
[00:52.157]Headed to projects, where we made it
[00:54.232]We don't gotta walk to the well, got a faucet, a toilet, a bed, and a sheet
[00:57.424]Crowd around a oven just for the heat
[00:59.862][?] life could be bittersweet
[01:01.447]I'm Kool G with the symphony
[01:03.429]Best friend standing next to me
[01:05.058][?]
[01:07.198]Mīkhāʼēl with the angels
[01:08.817][?] like he Michael
[01:10.542]Never knew he was mental to [?] but wanted de Niro, yeah
[01:11.435]
[01:12.442][Chorus]
[01:14.246]Things change, stay the same
[01:15.951]Stand still as the Earth spins
[01:18.045]Cold world, codeine
[01:19.654]Prom queen, prom fiend
[01:21.800]She leans, party girl
[01:23.414]Wake up in the underworld
[01:25.113]In the City of Angels
[01:27.230]Demons, lovers
[01:28.907]Killers, sinners, tell me who you are
[01:29.824]
[01:30.692][Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
[01:46.010]Uh, Ave Maria, hold onto my rosary, I'm keeping it close to me
[01:54.412]Working my sorcery
[01:55.238]I need love like Courtney, most importantly
[01:57.778]Santa Maria got blood on my rosary
[01:59.793]But that's how it's supposed to be
[02:02.356][?] culture
[02:03.074]I walk out of the delivery room with blood all over me
[02:04.380]I love you [?] like Mother Theresa
[02:06.089]And every time I pray, I never forget her
[02:07.887]My daddy a heathen, he beat on my momma
[02:09.586]So every time I see her face, I kiss it
[02:11.325]They love you [?]
[02:12.173]Cannot come between me and money, but commas
[02:14.322]I don't need the drama, you don't need violence
[02:16.868]Highway to heaven, I'm calling the driver
[02:18.480]I went from boys to man overnight
[02:19.711]Now ask all these boys who the prototype
[02:21.522]I light up some wedding cake, smoke a slice
[02:23.240]Got all this money, can't wed no wife
[02:25.002]Light a candle, it's my birthday
[02:26.733]No party, it's a workday
[02:28.435]Gotta work harder, that's a cliche
[02:30.149]And there's no tomorrow, said that yesterday
[02:31.839]And [?] can be bittersweet
[02:33.592]No company for the misery
[02:35.350]I just light me a [?] take me straight to Sicily
[02:39.050]Feeling free like a bird
[02:40.726]No words, Kenny G
[02:42.482]Never knew I was mental 'til I shot myself on acidentally
[02:43.299]
[02:44.174][Chorus: Lil Wayne]
[02:45.376]But things change, stay the same
[02:47.486]Stand still as the Earth spins
[02:49.135]Cold world, ice cream
[02:50.869]Prom queen, prom fiend
[02:52.527]She leans, party girl
[02:54.176]Wake up in the underworld
[02:55.907]In the City of Angels
[02:58.056]Demons, lovers
[02:59.275]Beginners, finessers
[03:01.436]Tell me who you are
