In My Lifetime (remix) Lyrics

In My Lifetime (remix)

[Jay Z] 

 It's the thought of a ride that make my eyes wide I'm caught up 

 I'm trying to make all of my dreams materialize so I sorta 

 say my goodbyes to the straight and narrow 

 I found a new route you bout to see my life change 

 I make the means justify the ends I make the cream 

 materialize keys to a Benz and so I'm rollin 

 For now holdin down the fort who's controllin? 

 The ground's gotta blow em, yep, y'all shoulda told em 

 Uhh, my first felony's approachin, copped my first key 

 Took a freeze, now I'm frozen 

 I bought a black Mac, I'm outta control 

 Losin bankrolls on blackjack, you gotta know 

 it always crossed my mind that Feds be tappin the lines like Gregory Hines 

 Still on the phone discussin my biz like it could never be mines 

 I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs, and the rights 

 Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life 

 

 Chorus: 

 

 What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life? 

 *scratched "In my lifetime"* 

 What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life? 

 *scratched "In my lifetime"* 

 

 [Jay-Z] 

 I'm like the bass with the ass, splashin cold cash 

 The Big Willie get you chilly when I pass, brrrrrr 

 Is it, just a mirage all these girls thankin God 

 Is this, world my world, am I the star of stars? 

 Baby pimped out, I'm gettin too large and smokin cigars 

 All chicks is hollerin bout chica, the whole city's buzzin 

 wasn't checkin for me a dozen or so, months ago 

 Now I'm all they know, I'm a person 

 Lettin the Cristal's breathe at the Barnacle Bar 

 Under my sleeve, vernacular, 50 G's 

 I'm talkin big cheese, you gotta be down to dig these, uhh 

 Give me a rush like you wouldn't believe, my head's about to bust 

 Acceleratin what drives me, hope I don't gotta die 

 to see, see I can't lie to me 

 I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights 

 Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life 

 

 Chorus 2X 

 

 [Jay-Z] 

 Uhh, from the beginning see we never seen the ending 

 Running up in all the women, all the linen, all the jewels, huh 

 We sported Pele's, gold diamonds and Pirelli's 

 Sports cars, the good life'll give you a belly but that's cool 

 as I, zone in the Al Capone, watch me 

 cause the Medusa's head on Versace turned me to stone 

 Now my poems just ain't poems, they bloody, when I recite em 

 Bones get disconnected like the phones 

 Now, I'm a hardened criminal with game 

 Like the Garden, all my penpals life controlled by the warden 

 Still the drill makes me blind to the fact 

 I could do real time, I'm a prisoner, of my crimes 

 Know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights 

 Now I'm, incarcerate for my life 

 

 Chorus 5X to fade
