Sweet

[Produced by Diddy, Sean C & LV]

[Verse 1]

Sweeeet... and still there's pain (pain, pain, pain...)

If I would have grew up to be a doctor

My nephews would have grew up to do the same (same, same...)

But since I grew up through the game

And my influence is the same

And my therapy is music

They ask if you ashamed (ashamed...)

And though I wish I could separate the two things

I cannot so my answer to you remains

I can walk down the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles

And be so satisfied when I look myself in the eyes

No shame, no sir

Just big boats and tearing the coast up

Tight coupes like I'm wearing the roadster

For any coupe, bear-hugging the holster

[Chorus]

Hov', alright al-right

And it may not be what you call perfect, but

But it's my life (uh)

The life (uh-uh), the life (uh-uh), the life

Once again it's the life

[Verse 2]

So I make no apologies, crooked policies

So a G a nigga gotta be

We playing for property, no Monopoly

So I'll pass go and let my nephew follow me

They say the child shall lead

So I take it far as I can and then we shall see

Shall we dance with the devil for a beat

I pray to God I ain't got two left feet

Do the hustle put keys in the street

Then I'm ballroom dancing

Ke-ke'in in the suite

Sweet, BB's on the feet

TV's in the seat, ene-mies on the creep

It's so corrupt

Soak it up, it's a lesson, every fuck up

One day you're up

Next day you're down

Long as you stay the same it'll come back around

[Chorus]

Hov', alright al-right

And it may not be what you call perfect, but

But it's my life (uh)

The life (uh-uh), the life (uh-uh), the life

Once again it's the life

[Verse 3]

I'm even better

I'm eating better

Best thing about it is

My niggas eating together

With each endeavor, we reaching levels

Niggas ain't seen in like forever

I'm Hyman Roth, so made all my partners rich

I can't vouch for you

If you ain't a part of this

So pardon me as I pave my wrist, uh

As I parlay my chips

Hov', alright al-right

American gangster, gangster

Businesses like I'm white

But I'm not, I'm just bright

So fly with no fear of the flight, uhh

So if y'all hear my plight

And if you think you can make it this far without a fight

Couple mistakes here and there

Not always right, but I'm always real

That's how I sleep at night

[Chorus]

Hov', alright al-right

And it may not be what you call perfect, but

But it's my life (uh)

The life (uh-uh), the life (uh-uh), the life

Once again it's the life

[Outro]

Sweeeet...
