Jay-z - In My Lifetime (Remix) lyrics
It's the thought of a ride that make my eyes wide I'm caught up
I'm trying to make all of my dreams materialize so I sorta
Say my goodbyes to the straight and narrow
I found a new route you bout to see my life change
I make the means justify the ends I make the cream
Materialize keys to a Benz and so I'm rolling
For now holding down the fort who's controlling?
The ground's gotta blow em, yep, y'all shoulda told em
Uh, my first felony's approaching, copped my first key
Took a freeze, now I'm frozen
I bought a black Mac, I'm outta control
Losing bankrolls on blackjack, you gotta know
It always crossed my mind that Feds be tapping the lines like Gregory Hines
Still on the phone discussing my biz like it could never be mines
I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs, and the rights
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
I'm like the bass with the ass, splashing cold cash
The Big Willie get you chilly when I pass, brr
Is it, just a mirage all these girls thanking God
Is this, world my world, am I the star of stars?
Baby pimped out, I'm getting too large and smoking cigars
All chicks is hollering 'bout chica, the whole city's buzzing
Wasn't checking for me a dozen or so, months ago
Now I'm all they know, I'm a person
Letting the Cristal's breathe at the Barnacle Bar
Under my sleeve, vernacular, 50 G's
I'm talkin big cheese, you gotta be down to dig these, uh
Give me a rush like you wouldn't believe, my head's about to bust
Accelerating what drives me, hope I don't gotta die
To see, see I can't lie to me
I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
Uhh, from the beginning see we never seen the ending
Running up in all the women, all the linen, all the jewels, huh
We sported Pele's, gold diamonds and Pirelli's
Sports cars, the good life'll give you a belly but that's cool
As I, zone in the Al Capone, watch me
'Cause the Medusa's head on Versace turned me to stone
Now my poems just ain't poems, they bloody, when I recite em
Bones get disconnected like the phones
Now, I'm a hardened criminal with game
Like the Garden, all my pen-pals life controlled by the warden
Still the drill makes me blind to the fact
I could do real time, I'm a prisoner, of my crimes
Know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights
Now I'm, incarcerate for my life
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?
Scratched "In my lifetime"
