Lyrics
Yeah, it's magic, huh
Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz
And it's a Heavy D production, you bastards
Come on, huh
Ayo stop playing man, huh
This is real serious, huh
It's the Roc, yeah
Yo, yo, let's go
Post-Post-Italo, Hov' hanging with Bono
You too can live like Salvatore Ferragamo
And you too can cool out poolside at the Delano
If you too flow like you was out of your mind, yo
'Cause who knew dude that loved apple pies from McDonald's
Would soon be the boss of the Big Apple? Ya know
And who knew dude that played ball for the NBA
Would make a mistake on the Who Knew It Stakes, throw it away?
Who knew that'd be his last shot? Who drew up that play?
They giveth and they taketh, life is cruel that way
But even the broken clock is right at least two times a day
You coulda turned guns into roses like two times today
Now here's something you gotta say two times to Jay
I got my shades on, waiting for the sun to shine my way
Got my boom box, suntan lotion, waiting for action
They say when you play with skills, good luck'll happen, let's go
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), let's rock (Come on)
Things got too hot so I jumped off in this rap shit
You got it criss-crossed, ain't no turning me backwards
Too many district attorneys concerned with the actions
Of one individual, he's criminally attached-ed
I turned in all my rap chips, I'm earning my bachelor's
By dating all the models and actresses
I'm learning all the potholes in every single barrio
Trying not to mess up my axis, kid
On the road to the riches through trafficking
Through rapping and whatever's happening
Rocawear, I'm the young black Ralph Lauren
Every time I get out, they pull me right back in
The Michael Corleone of the microphone
The Michaelangelo of flow, I paint pictures with poems
I gather no moss like a rolling stone
In case the Grim Reaper visit my home, nigga, I'm gone, come on
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), let's rock (Come on)
Life is all about guns and roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes is
Some get left behind, some get chosen
Just like life, guns and roses
Life is all about guns and roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes is
Some get left behind, some get chosen
Just like life, guns and roses
Tote more guns than roses
Poses visibly shook of the invisible bully, let's go
Flowers need water to grow, we gotta rain
In order to experience joy, you need pain
Every time a baby is born, somebody's slain
You know the saying, somebody's loss is another's gain
The sun comes out when the water goes down the drain
A rainbow, then the clouds come out, we do it again
Everything evens up, you just wait
Even a garbage can gets a steak
You ain't even a garbage can, you have faith
But when it turns your way, before it turns away
You gotta turn that into something, you gotta learn from Jay
You get return on your investment if attention you pay, let's go
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), it's the Roc
Come on (Come on), let's rock (Come on)
Life is all about guns and roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes is
Some get left behind, some get chosen
Just like life, guns and roses
Life is all about guns and roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes is
Some get left behind, some get chosen
Just like life, guns and roses
Life is all about guns and roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes is
Some get left behind, some get chosen
Just like life, guns and roses
Life is all about guns and roses
