Artist: Jay-Z Album: Magna Carta... Holy Grail Song: Jay Z Blue Typed by: Nickolye16@aol.com [Intro: sample taken from the movie "Mommie Dearest"] "I work and work 'til I'm half-dead and I hear people saying, 'She's getting old.' And what do I get? A DAUGHTER, who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her as she cares about ME~!" {*Notorious B.I.G.*} "Uhh" [Jay-Z] Let's do this for these babies Mercedes, truck, fuck, houses on acres Blatant ballin on HD Mm, y'all need to step up y'all AV Mm, life changed again I was already takin off, my flight changed again Slight change of winds {"Uhh"} It's barely 12 noon and my wife changed again Baby need Pampers Daddy need at least three weeks in the Hamptons Please don't judge me Only hugged the block, I thought my daddy didn't love me My baby gettin chubby Cue that Stevie Wonder music, aww +Isn't She Lovely+? Now I'm starin at her, prayin that things don't get ugly And I'm stuck in that old cycle like wife leaves hubby Fuck joint custody I need a joint right now, just the thought alone fucks with me [Chorus: Jay-Z] High on life - I could die from the fall Imagine if I hit the floor Apologies in order, to Blue Ivy my daughter If it was up to me, you would be with me Sort of like Daddy Dearest [sample from "Mommie Dearest"] "Don't FUCK with me fellas! This ain't my first time at the rodeo." [Jay-Z] + {Biggie sample} {"Uhh... uhh"} I dream filthy {"My moms and pops"} mixed me with Jamaican {"Rum and whiskey"} Uh, what a set off {"What a set off"} And I know I'm not perfect baby I done been through so much trauma it gon' be hard to reverse it With some doctors and some nurses maybe Teach me how to treat a lady, open doors on the 'cedes This relationship shit is complicated All I know is we ain't speakin every day, I fuckin hate it And, I don't wanna duplicate it I done seen my mom and pop drive each other muh'fuckin crazy And I got that nigga blood in me {"Uhh"} I got his ego and his temper, all that's missin is the drugs in me [Chorus] [sample from "Mommie Dearest"] "No... no, no... no, wire, hangers, EVER!!" [Jay-Z] Father never taught me how to be a father, treat a mother I don't wanna have to just repeat another, leave another baby with no daddy, want no mama drama, I just wanna take her back to a time when everything was calmer Out in Paris on the terrace watchin the Eiffel Tower and the Ferris wheel, yet and still nothin could prepare us for the beauty that you be, Blue be Lookin in your eyes is like a mirror, have to face my fears Cheer up, why can't you just be happy without these back and forth thoughts? You too much like your daddy Badly I just wanted to spent more time with him Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him Now I got my own daughter, taught her how to take her first steps Cut the cord, watch her take her first breath And I'm tryin and I'm lyin if I said I wasn't scared But in life or death if I ain't here Apologies in order, to Blue Ivy my daughter If it was up to me, you would be with me Sort of like Daddy Dearest
