Jay-Z - Lucky Me lyrics

Album: Vol. 1-In My Lifetime (1997)

How can you fairly ask smth from the outside looking in?
Theres have got to be them times you will be wrong. Nah Mean?
How can a mother f*cka go round a hate a nigga
he never even met that he don´t even know & shit?
I think this rap shit´s all beef

Ya´ll don´t even know everyday I am livin with stress
Got up out the streets you think a nigga could rest
Can´t even enjoy myself at a party unless
I am on the dance floor hot ass vest
You think I am freakin´ these chicks right?
I´try not to brush against they chest
You get a lawsuit for shit like that, I feel trapped
Swear to everything when I leave this earth
It is gon´ be on both feet, never knees in the dirt
You could try me f*cka but when I squeeze it hurts, fine
We will lose two lives, yours & mines
Gimme any amount of time dont let Ms. Carter grieve
at the funeral parlor drippin´ tears on my sleeve
Told the judge didn´t budge it was him or me
and I aint trying to be hard but I am guilty as charged
Put my mercy on this court & my faith in God
And pray hard none of my nephews want to be stars...Lucky Me

[Chorus: Karen Anderson]

You only know what you see,
You dont understand what it takes to be me.

I hate all girls with alterior motives
That is why I am twenty plus yeahrs old, no sons no daughters
Hate putting my life in the hands of fake promoters
Hear the hate in my voice right? I hate that you noticed
Niggas want to strip to the bone for shit you own
Hate a nigga like that faggot, get your own
Hate that I cannot roam the street without the clip & chrome
Knowing one day Im´a have to flip, come on
You know the shit don´t stop ´til the Crist don´t pop
And you´ve to kill a nigga & your wrist don´t lock
I am trapped the whole worlds against me in fact,
It ain´t no turning back. Bring It On
Hate the price of fame cause it cost too much
Can I live without y´all niggas saying I floss too much?
Hate the way you make this hate flow all through us
Steady looking for flaws through us.... Lucky Me
[Chorus: Karen Anderson, Jay-Z]

You only know what you see,
You dont understand what it takes to be me
You only know what you see,
(Since I was 4 yeahrs old, I been told, everything that glitters aint gold)
You dont understand what it takes to be me
(And now that I have arrived
I see those truths unfold before my eyes in this world so cold)

Nigga see you in the street, pretend to be friendly
But I know any type of success breeds envy
I know in the back of your mind your conjuring ways to hen me
Leave my friends in a circle pouring out Henny
But G´s is heaven bound so how I am gon´ receive
Anything y´all pour to the ground next time throw it up
And aint nothing changed so even in my afterlife I show it up
Dont grieve for me my art remains
like a dart from the speaker to your heart
Spiritually through the portal now my words as a mortal
Plan to leave without a fight I plant a seed I give life
Though I cannot see past the girls greed to call her wife
Next time your thinking heist better be precise
Cause I am fully prepared. One of us is gon´ leave here
I´ve no regrets even though I want to see grow
My godsons Boogie, Sonny & Rimo

[Chorus x 4]
