[1st Verse:]
Sweet!
And still there's pain

If I would have grew up to be a doctor, my nephew 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, 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 coup like I'm wearing the roadster,

For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster.

[Chorus:]

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


[2nd Verse:]
So I make no apologies

Crooked policies
So a G a ^!$$% 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-ke'ing 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 $#&@ up
One day you're up, next day you're down
Long as you stay the same, it will come back around


[Chorus]


[3rd Verse:]
I'm even better, I'm eating better
Best thing about it is, my ^!$$%s eating together

With each endeavor
We reaching levels, ^!$$%s 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, ganster, 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

[Chorus]
