Veni Vidi Vici - Madonna Nas
Madonna life was so crazy
You've been through a lot
I tell you stories some times you know
Seemed like yesterday I was a baby on the street
I took a holiday I was stepping to the beat
I had to pay my rent on the lower east side
I threw my tag around let B-boys take me for a ride
I started writing songs I kinda got into the groove
They tried to criticize my every single move
But then I realized I had nothing left to lose
It took me by surprise when I became the news
I was fearless like a renegade
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said
I came I saw I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
I expressed myself came like a virgin down the aisle
Exposed my naked ass and did it with a smile
And when it came to sex I know I walked the borderline
And when I struck a pose all the gay boys lost their minds
I justified my love I made you say a little prayer
They had me crucified you know I had to take it there
I opened up my heart I learned the power of goodbye
I saw a ray of light
Music saved my life
I was fearless like a renegade
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said
I came I saw I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
In 1994 I came through the door
With that born beats versus scratches
Verbally murdered rappers
My mom's from the Carolina's pops from Natchez
And QB's where I started flowing
But I was scared the cops was kick my apartment door in
Had a baby girl by a crazy girl then I got married
Heavily accosted that ended in a bad divorce
I know how to pick 'em don't I
Never gave a f**k about public pressure
Or the ridicule of two bigger dudes
Now who's the fool
And I ain't never been happier no lie
I'm just you humble servant I'm Nas
If y'all burn down Ferguson I'ma riot
My life cannot be compared to anybody
Any trapsters and rappers
Any politicians beauticians a musician
Anybody so I'm anybodies
Many coffins heads or tails
Penny tosses either dead or in jail
Not many options on the block I came from
And I turned to a rap messiah spit rapid fire
And I roll right back to the block I came from
Fearless like a renegade
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said
I came I saw I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Oh ohhhhhh oh
I came I saw I conquered
Madonna on the track
Nas in the back
