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 can not 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 tearing the coast up Tight coup like I'm wearing the roadster For any coup it hugging the holster HOV alright alright And that may not be what you call perfect but But its my life The life The life the life Once again its the life So I make no apologies crooked policies So a G a n***a gotta be We playing for property no monopoly So I'll pa** 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 Do the hustle put keys in the street Then I'm ballroom dancing Ke-ke'ing in the suite SWEET Bb's on the feet Tv's on the seat Enemies on the creep Its so corrupt Soak it up its a lesson Never f** up One day you're up Next day you're down Long as you stay the same It'll come back around Hov alright alright And that may not be what you call perfect but But its my life The life The life the life Once again its the life I'm even better I'm eating better Best thing about it is My n***as eating together With each endeavor we reaching levels n***as ain't seen in like forever I'm Hyman Roth I make 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 fight Couple mistakes here and there Not always right But I'm always real That's how I sleep to night Hov alright alright And that may not be what you call perfect but But its my life The life The life the life Once again its the life
