Jay-z Sweet Lyrics

Sweet Lyrics

Sweet

And still there's pain



If I would have grew up to be a doctor

My nephews would have grew up to do the same

But since I grew up through the game

And my influence is the same and my therapy is music

They ask if you ashamed



And though I wish I could separate the two things

I cannot so my answer to you remains

I can walk down the hall of mirrors in Versailles

And be so satisfied when I look at myself in the eyes



No shame, no sir

Just big boats and tearin' the cost up

Tight coup like I'm wearin' the roadster

For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster



Hov alright, alright and that may not be

What you call perfect but, but it's my life

The life, the life, the life, once again it's the life



So I make no apologies crooked policies

So a G a nigga gotta be

We playin' our property, no monopoly

So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me



They say the child shall lead

So I take it far as I can we then shall see

Shall we dance with the devil for a beat?

I pray to God I ain't got two left feet feet



Do the hustle put keys in the street?

Then I'm ballroom dancin'

Ke-ke'ing in the suite, sweet BB's on the feet

TV's in the seat enemies on the creeps



It's so corrupt soak it, it's a lesson never fuck up

One day you're up, next day you're down

Long as you stay the same, it will come back around



Hov alright, alright and that may not be

What you call perfect but, but it's my life

The life, the life, the life, once again it's, the life



I'm even better, I'm eatin' better

Best thing about it is my niggas eatin' together

With each endeavor, we reachin' levels

Niggas ain't seen in like forever



I'm Hyman Roth I made all my partners rich

I can vouch for you if you ain't a part of this

So pardon me as I pave my wrist as I parlay my chips



Hov, alright, alright, American gangster, gangster

Business like I'm white but I'm not I'm just bright

So fly with no fear of the flight



So if y'all hear my plight

And if you think you can make it this far without a fight

Couple mistakes here and there not always right

But I'm always real that's how I sleep at night



Hov alright, alright and that may not be

What you call perfect but, but it's my life

The life, the life, the life, once again it's the life

Sweet
