Streets Is Watching movie - In My Lifetime (Remix) lyrics
rate meSong by Jay-Z<br /><br>
[Jay-Z]<br>
It's the thought of a ride that make my eyes wide, I'm caught up<br>
I'm trying to make, all of my dreams materialize, so I sorta<br>
say my goodbyes to the straight and narrow<br>
I found a new route, you bout to see my life change<br>
I make the means justify the ends, I make the cream<br>
materialize keys to a Benz, and so I'm rollin<br>
For now, holdin down the fort, who's controllin?<br>
The ground's gotta blow em, yep, y'all shoulda told em<br>
Uhh, my first felony's approachin, copped my first key<br>
Took a freeze, now I'm frozen<br>
I bought a black Mac, I'm outta control<br>
Losin bankrolls on blackjack, you gotta know<br>
it always crossed my mind that Feds be tappin the lines like Gregory Hines<br>
Still on the phone discussin my biz like it could never be mines<br>
I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs, and the rights<br>
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life<br>
<br>
[Chorus:]<br>
<br>
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?<br>
[scratched "In my lifetime"]<br>
What's the meaning, what's the meaning of life?<br>
[scratched "In my lifetime"]<br>
<br>
[Jay-Z]<br>
I'm like the bass with the ass, splashin cold cash<br>
The Big Willie get you chilly when I pass, brrrrrr<br>
Is it, just a mirage all these girls thankin God<br>
Is this, world my world, am I the star of stars?<br>
Baby pimped out, I'm gettin too large and smokin cigars<br>
All chicks is hollerin bout chica, the whole city's buzzin<br>
wasn't checkin for me a dozen or so, months ago<br>
Now I'm all they know, I'm a person<br>
Lettin the Cristal's breathe at the Barnacle Bar<br>
Under my sleeve, vernacular, 50 G's<br>
I'm talkin big cheese, you gotta be down to dig these, uhh<br>
Give me a rush like you wouldn't believe, my head's about to bust<br>
Acceleratin what drives me, hope I don't gotta die<br>
to see, see I can't lie to me<br>
I know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights<br>
Still my blood flows ice, it's just my life<br>
<br>
[Chorus 2X]<br>
<br>
[Jay-Z]<br>
Uhh, from the beginning see we never seen the ending<br>
Running up in all the women, all the linen, all the jewels, huh<br>
We sported Pele's, gold diamonds and Pirelli's<br>
Sports cars, the good life'll give you a belly but that's cool<br>
as I, zone in the Al Capone, watch me<br>
cause the Medusa's head on Versace turned me to stone<br>
Now my poems just ain't poems, they bloody, when I recite em<br>
Bones get disconnected like the phones<br>
Now, I'm a hardened criminal with game<br>
Like the Garden, all my penpals life controlled by the warden<br>
Still the drill makes me blind to the fact<br>
I could do real time, I'm a prisoner, of my crimes<br>
Know the price, know the risk, know the wrongs and the rights<br>
Now I'm, incarcerate for my life<br>
<br>
[Chorus 5X to fade]<br>
<br>
