Madonna |
[00:04.55] |
Life is so crazy |
[00:07.85] |
You've been through a lot |
[00:11.18] |
I'll tell you a story sometimes, y'know? |
[00:20.29] |
Seemed like yesterday, I was a baby on the street |
[00:23.48] |
I took a holiday, I was steppin to the beat |
[00:26.82] |
I had to pay my rent, on the Lower East Side |
[00:30.34] |
I threw my tag around, let b-boys take me for a ride |
[00:33.81] |
I started writing songs, I kinda got into the groove |
[00:37.06] |
They tried to criticize, my every single move |
[00:40.55] |
But then I realized, I had nothing left to lose |
[00:43.76] |
It took me by surprise, when I became the news |
[00:47.34] |
I was fearless, like a renegade |
[00:50.75] |
I had a feeling, that I can't explain |
[00:54.20] |
I didn't listen, to what people said |
[00:57.71] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[01:01.05] |
I was constant, as a northern star |
[01:04.37] |
I had a fire, burning in my heart |
[01:07.73] |
I never gave up, fighting in the dark |
[01:11.43] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[01:15.40] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[01:18.60] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[01:22.18] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[01:35.62] |
I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle |
[01:38.66] |
Exposed my naked ass, and I did it with a smile |
[01:42.08] |
And when it came to sex, I know I walked the borderline |
[01:45.35] |
And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind |
[01:48.80] |
I justified my love, I made you say your little prayer |
[01:52.27] |
They had me crucified, you know I had to take it there |
[01:55.67] |
I opened up my heart, I learned the power of good-bye |
[01:59.13] |
I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (music saved my life) |
[02:03.03] |
I was fearless, like a renegade |
[02:05.73] |
I had a feeling, that I can't explain |
[02:09.15] |
I didn't listen, to what people said |
[02:13.15] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[02:16.34] |
I was constant, as a northern star |
[02:19.33] |
I had a fire, burning in my heart |
[02:22.69] |
I never gave up, fighting in the dark |
[02:26.62] |
I came I saw I conquered (Let's go) |
[02:30.93] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[02:34.20] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[02:37.64] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[02:40.94] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[02:44.41] |
In 1994, I came through the door |
[02:47.16] |
With that born beats versus scratches |
[02:49.08] |
Verbally murdered rappers |
[02:50.94] |
My mom's from the Carolina's, pops from Natchez |
[02:54.55] |
And QB's where I started flowing |
[02:56.13] |
But I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in |
[02:58.24] |
Had a baby girl by a crazy girl, then I got married |
[03:01.72] |
Heavily accosted, that ended in a bad divorce |
[03:04.00] |
And I know how to pick 'em, don't I? |
[03:06.03] |
Never gave a fuck about public pressure |
[03:07.57] |
Or the ridicule of two big a lo Now who's the fool? |
[03:10.20] |
And I ain't never been happier, no lie |
[03:12.48] |
I'm just you humble servant, I'm Nas |
[03:15.53] |
If y'all burn down Ferguson, I'ma riot |
[03:18.87] |
My life cannot be compared to anybody |
[03:20.59] |
Any trapsters, and rappers |
[03:22.99] |
Any politicians, beauticians, a musician |
[03:25.68] |
Anybody, so I'm anybodies |
[03:27.46] |
Many coffins, heads or tails |
[03:29.23] |
Penny tosses, we either dead or in jail |
[03:30.92] |
Not many options on the block I came from |
[03:33.44] |
And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire |
[03:36.78] |
And I roll right back to the block I came from |
[03:39.48] |
I was fearless, like a renegade |
[03:42.35] |
I had a feeling, that I can't explain |
[03:45.64] |
I didn't listen, to what people said |
[03:49.57] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[03:52.55] |
I was constant, as a northern star |
[03:55.95] |
I had a fire, burning in my heart |
[03:59.14] |
I never gave up, fighting in the dark |
[04:03.08] |
I came I saw I conquered (Let's go) |
[04:06.85] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[04:10.24] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[04:13.69] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[04:16.98] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[04:20.58] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[04:23.82] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[04:27.33] |
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) |
[04:30.68] |
I came I saw I conquered |
[04:33.22] |
Madonna on the track |
[04:35.30] |
Nas on back |
