Jay-Z - Allure lyrics

Album: The Black Album (2003)

Young! It is da life...
Once again it is da life! Yess..
(I do not know why...I get so high on)
It is intoxicatin man...y´all don´t know why you do what you do
(Get so high on(Yess).. get so high(Come on) - high off the life)

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

The allure of breakin´ the law
It is always too much for me to ever ignore
I´ve got to thing for them big body benzes... it dulls my senses
I am in love with a V-dub engine
Mann I am high off life- f*ck it, I am wasted
Bey Venay kicks or them Marvin Kaye wrists
My women friend get tennis bracelets
Trips ta Venice, get their winters replaced with...
The sun, it ain´t even fun no more, I am jaded
Man it is just da game, I just play it to play it
Put my feet in the footprints left to me
Without sayin´ a word, the ghettos got a mental telepathy
Man my brother hustled, so naturally, up next is me
But what perplexes me
Shit I know how this movie ends, still I play
the starrin role in "Hovito´s Way"

[Chorus]
It is just life, I solemnly swear
To change my approach, stop shavin coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
Cause I be doin the most.. oh no!
But every time I felt that was that, it called me right back
It called me right back, man it called me right back - oh no!

[Verse Two]
I am like a Russian mobster, drinkin disuntiled vodka
´Til I am under the field with Hoffa, it is real
Pillow-top him like a toupee
Mix the water, with the soda
Turn the pot up make a souflee
All of y´all can get it like group-ays in your 2-way
I am livin proof that crime do pay
Say hooray to the bad guy, & all the broads
puttin cars in they name for the stars of the game
Puttin ´caine in they bras & their tomorrows on the train
All in the name of love
Just to see that love locked in chains & the family came
Over the house to take back, everything that they claimed
Or even the worst pain is the dis-tress
Learnin you are the mis-tress only after that love gets slain
And the anger & the sorrow mixed up leads to mis-trust
Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain
But the allure of the game, keeps callin your name
To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
To all the Christies in every cities & Tiffany Lanes
We all hustlers, in love with the same thang

[Chorus]

[Verse Three]
I never felt more alive than ridin shotgun
In Cline´s green 5 till the cops pulled guns
And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need
what the game did to my pulse, with no results
And you can treat your nose & still won´t come close
The game is a lightbulb with eleventy-million volts
And I am just a mark, addicted to the floss
And doors lift from the floor & the tops come off
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
Even if it means lives is lost..
And I cannot explain why, I just love to get high
Drink life, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice
I am in the blueberry 5, you blink three times
I may not even be alive
How mean James Dean couldn´t escape the allure
Dyin young, leavin a good lookin corpse
´Course

[Chorus]

Once again it is the life!
I said it is the life!
Once again it is the life - oh no!
(I do not why I) why I (get so high on)
get so (get so high on) uh-huh
(get so high - high off the life!)
Hahahahahahaha - woo!
