| Lyrics: | Yeah, hah, yeah Roc-A-Fella
We invite you to, somethin epic y'all know?
Well we hustle out
of a sense of, hopelessness
Sort of a desperation
Through that desperation, we 'come
addicted
Sorta like the fiends we accustomed to servin
But we feel we have nothin to
lose
so we offer you, well, we offer our lives, right
What do you bring to the
table?
While I'm watchin every nigga watchin me closely
my shit is butter for the
bread they wanna toast me
I keep my head, both of them where they supposed to be
Hoes'll
get you sidetracked then clap from closed feet
I don't sleep, I'm tired, I feel wired like
codeine, these days
a brother gotta admire from four fiends away
My pain wish it was quick
to see, from sellin 'caine
til brains was fried to a fricaisse, can't lie
At the time it
never bothered me, at the bar
gettin my thug on properly, my squad and me
lack of respect
for authority, laughin hard
Happy to be escapin poverty, however brief
I know this game
got valleys and peaks, expectation
for dips, four percent pertation we stack chips,
hardly
The youth I used to be, soon to see a mill'in
No more, Big Willie my game has grown
prefer you call me William
Illin for revenues, grateful dim the light
channel 7 news,
round seven jewels, hand gettin the mic
Forgettin all I ever knew, convenient amnesia
I
suggest you call my lawyer, I know the procedure
Lock my body can't trap my mind,
easily
explain why we adapt to crime
I'd rather die enormous than live dormant that's how
we on it
Live at the main event, I bet a trip to Maui on it
Presidential suites my
resedential for the weekend
Confidentially speakin in codes since I sense you peekin
The
INXS rental, don't be fooled my game is mental
We both out of town dog, what you tryin to get
into?
Viva, Las Vegas, see ya, later at the crap tables
meet me by the one that starts a G
up
This way no fraud Willie's present gambling they re-up
And we can have a pleasant time,
sippin margaritas
Ge-ge-geyeahhh, can I live?
Can I live?
My mind is infested,
with sick thoughts that circle
like a Lexus, if driven wrong it's sure to hurt you
Dual
level like duplexes, in unity, my crew and me
commit atrocities like we got immunity
You
guessed it, manifest it in tangible goods
Platinum Rolexed it, we don't lease
we buy the
whole care, as you should
My confederation, dead a nation, EXPLODE
on detonation, overload
the mind of a said patient
When it balls to steam, it comes to it
we all fiends gotta do
it, even righteous minds go through this
True this, history school us to spend our money
foolish
Bond with jewellers and, watch for intruders
I stepped it up another level,
meditated like a buddhist
Recruited lieutenants with ludicrous, dreams of
gettin cream
let's do this, against T-D-S
So I keep one eye open like, C-B-S, ya see me
stressed right?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Can I live?
Ha-hah, Roc-A-Fella y'all |
