Artist  : Jay-z 
Song : Lucky Me



 Send "Lucky Me" Ringtone to your Cell 

 How can you fairly assess something from the
outside looking in?
There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong. Nah
Mean?
How can a mother f**ka go round and hate a nigga 
he never even met that he dont even know and
shit?
I think this rap sh*t is all beef

Y'all dont even know every day I'm livin with
stress
Got up out the streets you think a nigga could
rest
Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless
I'm on the dance floor hot as* vest
You think I'm freakin' these chicks right?
I'try not to brush against they chest
You get a lawsuit for sh*t like that, I feel
trapped
Swear to everything when I leave this earth
It's gon' be on both feet, never knees in the
dirt
You could try me f**ka but when I squeeze it
hurts, fine
We'll lose two lives, yours and 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 ain't trying to be hard but I'm guilty as
charged
Put my mercy on this court and my faith in God 
And pray hard none of my nephews wanna 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's why I'm twenty plus years 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 wanna strip to the bone for sh*t you own
Hate a nigga like that faggot, get your own
Hate that I can't roam the street without the
clip and chrome
Knowing one day Im'a have to flip, c'mon
You know the sh*t don't stop 'til the Crist don't
pop
And you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't
lock
I'm trapped the whole worlds against me in fact,
It aint 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 years old, I been told, everything
that glitters ain't gold)
You dont understand what it takes to be me 
(And now that I've 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'm gon' receive 
Anything y'all pour to the ground next time throw
it up
And ain't 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 can't see past the girls greed to call
her wife
Next time your thinking heist better be precise
Cause I'm fully prepared. One of us is gon' leave
here
I have no regrets even though I wanna see grow
My godsons Boogie, Sonny and Rimo

[Chorus x 4]
