Buckwild - Lucky Me lyrics

[Intro: Jay Z] How can you fairly a**ess something from the outside looking in? There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong, nah mean? How can a mutha f**a go round and hate a n***a He never even met that he dont even know and sh**? I think this rap sh** is all beef [Verse 1: Jay Z] Y'all dont even know every day I'm living with stress Got up out the streets you think a n***a could rest Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless I'm on the dance floor, hot-a** vest You think I'm freakin' these chicks right? I try not to brush against they chest You get a lawsuit for sh** like that, I feel trapped Swear to everything when I leave this earth It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the dirt You could try me f**a but when I squeeze it hurts, fine We'll lose two lives, yours and mines Gimme any amount of time don't let Ms. Carter grieve At the funeral parlor drippin' tears on my sleeve Told the judge didn't budge it was him or me And I ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as charged Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God And pray hard none of my nephews wanna be stars...Lucky me [Hook: Karen Anderson] You only know what you see You don't understand what it takes to be me [Verse 2: Jay Z] I hate all girls with ulterior motives That's why I'm 20+ years old, no sons no daughters Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters Hear the hate in my voice right? I hate that you noticed n***as wanna strip to the bone for sh** you own Hate a n***a like that f*ggot, get your own Hate that I can't roam the street without the clip and chrome Knowing one day Im'a have to flip, c'mon You know the sh** don't stop 'til the Cris' don't pop And you have to k** a n***a and your wrist don't lock I'm trapped the whole worlds against me in fact It ain't no turning back. Bring it on Hate the price of fame cause it cost too much Can I live without y'all n***as saying I floss too much? Hate the way you make this hate flow all through us Steady looking for flaws through us.... Lucky me [Hook: Karen Anderson] [Bridge: Jay Z] Since I was 4 years old, I been told, everything that glitters ain't gold And now that I've arrived I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold [Verse 3: Jay Z] n***a see you in the street, pretend to be friendly But I know any type of success breeds envy I know in the back of your mind your conjuring ways to hem me Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny But G's is heaven bound so how I'm gon' receive Anything y'all pour to the ground next time throw it up And ain't nothing changed so even in my afterlife I show it up Don't grieve for me my art remains Like a dart from the speaker to your heart Spiritually through the portal now my words is immortal Plan to leave without a fight I plant a seed I give life Though I can't see past the girl's greed to call her wife Next time you're thinking heist better be precise Cause I'm fully prepared. One of us is gon' leave here I have no regrets even though I won't see grow My godson Boogie, Sonny and Remo [Hook: Karen Anderson] [Bridge: Jay Z]
