0:00Sweeeet
0:04And still there's pain pain pain pain pain
0:07If I would have grew up to be a doctor
0:09My nephews would have grew up to do the
0:11Same same same same same same
0:16But since I grew up through the game
0:17And my influence is the same
0:19And my therapy is music
0:20They ask if you ashamed ashamed
0:22Ashamed ashamed ashamed ashamed
0:25And though I wish I could separate the two things
0:27I cannot so my answer to you remains
0:29I can walk down the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles
0:32And be so satisfied when I look myself in the eyes
0:35No shame no Sir
0:37Just big boats I'm tearin the coast up
0:40Tight coupes like I'm wearin' the roadster
0:43For any coupe bearhuggin the holster
0:45HOV' alright al right
0:47And it may not be what you call perfect but
0:49But it's my life uh
0:51The life uh uh the life uh uh the life
0:55Once again it's the life
0:56So I make no apologies crooked policies
0:59So a G a ni**a gotta be
1:01We playing for property no Monopoly
1:03So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me
1:07They say the child shall lead
1:08So I take it far as I can and then we shall see
1:12Shall we dance with the devil for a beat
1:14I pray to God I ain't got two left feet
1:17Do the hustle put ki's in the street
1:19Then I'm ballroom dancing
1:20Ke ke'in in the suite
1:22Sweet BB's on the feet
1:24TV's in the seat enemies on the creep
1:29It's so corrupt
1:30Soak it up it's a lesson every f**k up
1:33One day you're up
1:34Next day you're down
1:35Long as you stay the same it'll come back around
1:38HOV' alright alright
1:40And it may not be what you call perfect but
1:42But it's my life uh
1:43The life uh uh the life uhuh the life
1:47Once again it's the life
1:49I'm even better
1:50I'm eating better
1:51Best thing about it is
1:52My niggas eating together
1:54With each endeavor we reaching levels
1:57Niggas ain't seen in like forever

2:01I can't vouch for you
2:03If you ain't a part of this

2:17So fly with no fear of the flight uhh
2:21So if y'all hear my plight
2:22And if you think you can make it this far without a fight
2:25Couple mistakes here and there
2:27Not always right but I'm always real
2:29That's how I sleep at night
2:30HOV' alright alright
