They say the child shall lead
I'm even better, I'm eatin' better
So if y'all hear my plight
What you call perfect but, but it's my life
So I make no apologies crooked policies
The life, the life, the life, once again it's, the life
For any coup I'm bear hugging the holster
And be so satisfied when I look at myself in the eyes
Tight coup like I'm wearin' the roadster
I'm Hyman Roth I made all my partners rich
So a G a nigga gotta be
But since I grew up through the game
I can vouch for you if you ain't a part of this
Couple mistakes here and there not always right
So pardon me as I pave my wrist as I parlay my chips
Ke-ke'ing in the suite, sweet BB's on the feet
Hov alright, alright and that may not be
So I take it far as I can we then shall see
Best thing about it is my niggas eatin' together
What you call perfect but, but it's my life
It's so corrupt soak it, it's a lesson never fuck up
Just big boats and tearin' the cost up
Shall we dance with the devil for a beat?
Then I'm ballroom dancin'
Hov alright, alright and that may not be
So fly with no fear of the flight
We playin' our property, no monopoly
So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me
My nephews would have grew up to do the same
I can walk down the hall of mirrors in Versailles
One day you're up, next day you're down
Do the hustle put keys in the street?
The life, the life, the life, once again it's the life
Business like I'm white but I'm not I'm just bright
And if you think you can make it this far without a fight
And my influence is the same and my therapy is music
No shame, no sir
With each endeavor, we reachin' levels
And though I wish I could separate the two things
I pray to God I ain't got two left feet feet
If I would have grew up to be a doctor
Niggas ain't seen in like forever
Hov, alright, alright, American gangster, gangster
What you call perfect but, but it's my life
The life, the life, the life, once again it's the life
TV's in the seat enemies on the creeps
Hov alright, alright and that may not be
I cannot so my answer to you remains
But I'm always real that's how I sleep at night
They ask if you ashamed
Long as you stay the same, it will come back around
