Jay-z Beach Chair Lyrics

Beach Chair Lyrics

Life is but a dream to me, I don't wanna wake up

30 odd years, been 'bout havin' my cake up

So I'm 'bout my paper, 24/7, 365

366 in a leap year



I don't know why we here, since we gotta be here

Life is but a beach chair

Went from havin' shabby clothes to crossin' over Abbey Road

Hear my angel singin' to me, '€œAre you happy, Hov?'€?



I just hope I'm hearin' right, karma's got me fearin' like

Colleek are you prayin' for me, for me?

See, I got demons in my past, so I got daughters on the way

If the prophecy's correct, then the child shall have to pay



For the sins of her father, so I barter my tomorrows

Against my yesterdays and hope that she'll be okay

And when I'm no longer here to shade her face from the glare

I give up my share of Carol's daughter and a new beach chair



  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave



 (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

 (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave



Life is but a dream to me, gunshots sing to these

Other guys but lullabies, don't mean a thing to me

I'm not afraid of dyin', I'm afraid of not tryin'

Every day hit every wave like I'm Hawaiian



I don't surf the net, no, I never been on MySpace

Too busy lettin' my voice vibrate

Carvin' out my space, in this world of fly girls

Cutthroats and diamond cut ropes, I twirls



Benzes 'round corners where the sun don't shine

I let the wheels give a glimpse of hope and one's grind

Son said, "Hov, how you get so fly?"

I said from not bein' afraid to fall out the sky



My physical's a shell, so when I say farewell

My soul'll find an even higher plain to dwell

So fly, you shall, so have no fear

Just know that life is but a beach chair



  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



Life is but a dream, can't mimic my life

I'm the thinnest cut slice in a cut, the winner's cup

Well, winter's rough enough to interrupt life

That's why I'm both saint and sinner, nice



This is Jay, everyday, no compromise

No compass comes wit this life, just eyes

So to map it out, you must look inside

Sure books can guide you but your heart defines you



Chica, the corazon is what brought us home

The great shape like Heidi Klum, m*** I am on

Permanent vaca', life is but a beach chair

Song's like a Hallmark card until you reach here



So 'til she's here and she's declared

The heir, I will prepare

A blueprint for you to print, a map for you to get back

A guide for your eyes, so you won't lose scent



I make it stink for you to think, I ink these verses

Full of prose so you won't get conned out of two cents

My last will and testament I leave my heir

My share of Roc-A-Fella Records and a shiny new beach chair



  (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



 (I hear my angels sing)

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



Life is just a dream and they don't wanna wake up, wake up

Life is just a dream and they don't wanna leave

  (Life is but a dream)



I hear my angels sing

I hear my angels sing

I hear my angels sing
