[00:02.25]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)
