Veni Vidi Vici - Madonna
Madonna Life is so crazy You've been through a lot I'll tell your story sometimes, you know Seem like yesterday, I was a baby on the street I took a holiday, I was steppin' 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 my muse I was fearless like a renegade I had a feeling that I can't explain I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do) I came, I saw, I conquered I was constant as the northern star I had a fire burning in my heart I never gave up fighting in the dark I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go) Ooh I came, I saw, I conquered I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle Exposed my naked ass, and I 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 mind 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 good-bye I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (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 (whatcha do) I came, I saw, I conquered I was constant as the northern star I had a fire burning in my heart I never gave up fighting in the dark I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go) Ooh, 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 gonna 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 And I know how to pick 'em, don't I? Never gave a fuck about public pressure Or the ridicule of two bigaloos 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 And trappers, and rappers Any politicians, beauticians, a musician Anybody, so I'm anybodies Many coffins, heads or tails Penny tosses, we 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 I was fearless like a renegade I had a feeling that I can't explain I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do) I came, I saw, I conquered I was constant as the northern star I had a fire burning in my heart I never gave up fighting in the dark I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go) Ooh I came, I saw, I conquered
