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 or mirrors in Versailles
And be so satisfied when I look a myself in the eyes
No shame
No sir
Just big boats and tearing the coast up
Tight coupe like I'm wearing the roadster
For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster
Hov, alright, alright
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 nigga gotta be
We playing for property
No monopoly
So I'll pass 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-keing in the suite
Sweet
BB's on the feet
TV's in the seat
Enemies on the creep
It's so corrupt
Soak it up
It's a lesson, never fuck up
One day you're up
Next day you're down
Long as you stay the same it will come back around
Hov, alright, alright
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
I'm even better
I'm eating better
Best thing about it is my niggas eating together
With each endeavor
We reaching levels
Niggas ain't seen in like forever
I'm Hyman Roth I make 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 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 a fight
Couple mistakes here and there
Not always right
But I'm always real
That's how I sleep at night
Hov, alright, alright
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
If I would have grew up to be a doctor
