Danger Mouse, JAY-Z, The Beatles - Allure lyrics

(Young! It's the life)
(Once again it's the life, yes)
I don't know why, I get so high oh
(It's intoxicating man
Y'all don't know why you do what you do)
Get so high oh, get so high
High off the life

The allure of breaking the law
Was always too much for me to ever ignore
I've got a thing for the big-body Benzes
It dulls my senses
In love with a V-Dub engine
Man, I'm high off life, fuck it, I'm wasted
Bathing Ape kicks, Audemars Piguet wrist
My women-friends get tennis bracelets
Trips to Venice
Get their Winters replaced with
The sunit ain't even fun no more, I'm jaded
Man, it's just a game
I just play it to play it
I put my feet in the footprints left to me
Without saying a word
The ghetto's got a mental telepathy
My brother hustled so, naturally
Up next was me, but what perplexes me
Shit, I know how this movie ends
Still I play
The starring role in "Hovito's Way"

It's just life, I solemnly swear
To change my approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
'Cause I be doing the most (OH NO)
But every time I felt "That was that"
It called me right back
It called me right back
Man, it called me right back (OH NO)

I'm like a Russian mobster
Drinking distilled vodka
Until I'm under the field with Hoffa
It's real peel the top up like a toupée
Mix the water with the soda
Turn the pot up, make a soufflé
All of y'all can get it like
Group page on your 2-way
I'm living proof that crime do pay
Say "hooray" to the bad guy
And all the broads
Putting cars in their name
For the stars of the game
Putting 'caine in their bras and
Their tomorrows on the train:
All in the Name of Love
Just to see that love locked in
Chains and the family came
Over the house to take back
Everything that they claimed
Or even the worse pain is the distress
Learning you're the mistress only after
That love gets slain
And the anger and the sorrow
Mixed up leads to mistrust
Now it gets tough to ever love again
But the allure of the game
Keeps calling your name
To all the Lauras of the world
I feel your pain
To all the Christies in different
Cities and Tiffany Lanes:
We all hustlers in love with the same thing

It's just life, I solemnly swear
To change my approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
'Cause I be doing the most (OH NO)
But every time I felt "That was that"
It called me right back
It called me right back
Man, it called me right back (OH NO)

I never felt more alive than riding shotgun
In Klein's green 5
Until the cops pulled guns
And I tried to smoke weed to give
Me the fix I need - what the game did to my
Pulse - with no results
And you can treat your nose
And still won't come close
The game is a light
Bulb with eleventy-million volts
And I'm just a moth addicted to the floss
The doors lift from the floor
And the tops come off
By any means necessary, whatever the cost
Even if it means lives is lost
And I can't explain why I
Just love to get high
Drink, "life!" smoke the blueberry sky
Blink twice
I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink three times
I may not even be alive
I mean even James Dean
Couldn't escape the allure
Dying young, leaving a good-lookin corpse
Of course

It's just life, I solemnly swear
To change my approach, stop shaving coke
Stay away from hoes, put down the toast
'Cause I be doing the most (OH NO)
But every time I felt "That was that"
It called me right back
It called me right back
Man, it called me right back (OH NO)
