JAY-Z - Politics as Usual lyrics

You know how we do roc-A-Fella forever

You can catch me
Skatin' through your town, puttin' it down
Y'all relatin' no waitin'
I'll make your block infrared
Hot: I'm like Satan
Y'all feel a nigga's struggle
Y'all think a nigga love to
Hustle behind the wheel
Tryin' to escape my trouble
Kids stop they greetin' me
I'm talking sweet to keys
Cursin' the very God that brought
This grief to be
My life is based on sacrifices
Jewels like Isis
And fools that think I slip, you fuck around
You get your guys hit
They built me to be filthy
On some I do-or-die shit, for real
The price of leather's got me
Deeper than ever and
Just think, winter's here, I'm
Tryin' to feel mink, nig-ga

Politics as usual

I took my Frito to Tito in the district
Blessed me with some VS
Somethings I can live with: stop frontin'
And for the dough I raise
Gotta get shit appraised
No disrespect to you
Make sure your word is true
I'm takin' wages down in Vegas
Just in case Tyson
Have a major night off, that's clean money
The tax write-off
You ain't seen money in your life, when it
Comes to this cheese y'all
Like Three Blind Mice
I'm smokin' bros who pump Willie, I expose
The furthest you Chiles been is the Poconos
My portfolio reads: leads to Don Corleone
Nigga please
10-year felon, heavy on the wrist
I faze yous with the diamond flooded Jesus
And blind your facials
For life sharight, Jigga, I keep it tight
Nig-ga

Politics as usual

You feel my triumph never - feel my pain
I'm lyin' low in the leathers, I am
The best that's ever came
The game changes like my
Mind just ain't right rewind get this dough
I guess it ain't your night
Suckin' me in like a vacuum, I remember
Tellin' my family: "I'll be back
Soon" that was December
'85 and Jay-Z rise 10 years later
Got me wise still can't
Break my underworld ties
I wear black a lot, in the Ac', act a lot
Got matchin' VCR's, a huge Magnavox
Ten inch, green like spinach
Pop wines that's vintage
It's a lot of big money in my sentence
Hittin' towards a mil', lip a
Written I kill like that
Check baby one-two cat, yeah, I do that
Ain't no stoppin' the champagne from poppin'
The drawers from droppin'
The law from watchin' - I hate 'em

Politics as usual
