Jay-z - Sweet - a cappella 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 myself in the eyes No shame, no sir Just big boats and tearin the coast up Tight coupes like I'm wearin the roadster For in the coup, bearhuggin the holster Hov alright al-right 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 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 and then we 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'in in the suite Sweet BB's on the feet TV's in the seat, ene-mies on the creep It's so corrupt Soak it up it's a lesson Every f** up One day you're up Next day you're down Long as you stay the same it'll come back around 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 made all my partners rich I can't 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 Businesses 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 Sweet
