Jay-z Allure Lyrics

Allure Lyrics

Young! For life
Once again it's the life, yessss
(I don't know why, I..
get so high on)
It's intoxicatin man, y'all don't know why you do what you
do
(Get so high on, get so high - high off the life)

[Verse
One]
The allure of breakin the law
Is always too much for me to ever
ignore
I gotta thing for them big body Benzes, it dulls my senses
In love
with a V-Dub engine
Man I'm high off life, fuck it I'm wasted
Bey Venay
kicks, or them Marvin Kaye wrists
My women friend get tennis
bracelets
Trips to Venice, get they winters replaced with
the sun, it
ain't even fun no more I'm jaded
Man, it's just a game, I just play it to
play it
I put my feet in the footprints left to me
Without sayin a word,
the ghetto's got a mental telepathy
Man my brother hustled so,
naturally
Up next is me, but what perplexes me
Shit I know how this movie
ends, still I play
the starrin role in "Hovito's Way"

[Chorus]
It's
just life, I solemnly swear
To change my approach, stop shavin coke
Stay
away from hoes, put down the toast
Cause I be doin the most.. oh no!
But
every time I felt that was that, it called me right back
It called me right
back, man it called me right back - oh no!

[Verse Two]
I'm like a
Russian mobster, drinkin distilled vodka
'Til I'm under the field with
Hoffa, it's real
Pillow-top him like a toupee
Mix the water, with the
soda
Turn the pot up make a souflee
All of y'all can get it like
group-ays in your 2-way
I'm livin proof that crime do pay
Say hooray to
the bad guy, and all the broads
puttin cars in they name for the stars of
the game
Puttin 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train
All
in the name of love
Just to see that love locked in chains and the family
came
over the house to take back, everything that they claimed
Or even
the worst pain is the distress
Learnin you're the mistress only after that
love gets slain
And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to
mistrust
Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain
But the allure of the
game, keeps callin your name
To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your
pain
To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes
We all
hustlers, in love with the same thang

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
I
never felt more alive than ridin shotgun
In Cline's green 5 until the cops
pulled guns
And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need
what the
game did to my pulse, with no results
And you can treat your nose and still
won't come close
The game is a lightbulb with eleventy-million volts
And
I'm just a mark, addicted to the floss
And doors lift from the floor and the
tops come off
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
Even if it means
lives is lost..
And I can't explain why, I just love to get high
Drink
life, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink
three times
I may not even be alive
How mean James Dean couldn't escape
the allure
Dyin young, leavin a good lookin corpse
Of
course

[Chorus]

Once again it's the life
I said it's the
life
Once again it's the life - oh no!
(I don't why I) why I (get so high
on)
get so (get so high on) uh-huh
(get so high - high off the
life!)
Hahahahahahaha - woo!
