Veni Vidi Vici

[00:01.41] Madonna
[00:04.05] Life is so crazy
[00:07.20] You've been through a lot
[00:10.64] I'll tell you stories sometimes, you know?
[00:13.13]
[00:20.02] Seemed like yesterday
[00:21.57] I was a baby on the street, I took a holiday
[00:25.21] I was steppin' to the beat, I had to pay my rent
[00:28.63] On the Lower East Side, I threw my tag around
[00:31.82] Let B-boys take me for a ride, I started writing songs
[00:35.33] I kinda got into the groove, they tried to criticize
[00:38.71] My every single move, but then I realized
[00:42.44] I had nothing left to lose, it took me by surprise
[00:45.48] When I became the news (whoa)
[00:47.50] I was fearless like a renegade
[00:50.68] I had a feeling that I can't explain
[00:54.08] I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
[00:58.05] I came, I saw, I conquered
[01:00.94] I was constant as a northern star
[01:04.59] I had a fire burning in my heart
[01:07.95] I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
[01:11.91] I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
[01:15.40] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:18.86] I came, I saw, I conquered (yeah)
[01:22.22] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[01:25.62] I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
[01:28.91]
[01:34.34] (Talk to 'em, talk to 'em)
[01:35.68] I expressed myself
[01:36.94] Came like a virgin down the aisle, exposed my naked ass
[01:40.58] And I did it with a smile, and when it came to sex
[01:43.74] I knew I walked the borderline
[01:45.64] And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind
[01:49.09] I justified my love, I made you say a little prayer
[01:52.49] They had me crucified, you know I had to take you there
[01:55.95] I opened up my heart, I learned the power of goodbye
[01:59.44] I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (music saved my life)
[02:02.91] I was fearless like a renegade
[02:06.13] I had a feeling that I can't explain
[02:09.56] I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
[02:13.55] I came, I saw, I conquered
[02:16.45] I was constant as a northern star
[02:19.81] I had a fire burning in my heart
[02:23.36] I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
[02:27.30] I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
[02:30.79] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:34.26] I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
[02:37.68] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[02:41.07] I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
[02:43.82] In 1994 (what?)
[02:45.72] I came through the door with that born beats versus scratches
[02:49.37] Verbally murdered rappers (murdered, murdered, murdered)
[02:51.76] My mom's from the Carolina's, pops from Natchez
[02:54.14] And QB's where I started flowing, but
[02:56.06] I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in (uh)
[02:58.61] Had a baby girl by a crazy girl
[03:00.56] Then I got married, heavily accosted
[03:02.68] That ended in a bad divorce, I know how to pick 'em, don't I?
[03:05.66] Never gave a fuck about public pressure
[03:07.55] Or the ridicule, I'm too big to lose
[03:09.03] Now who's the fool?
[03:10.34] And I ain't never been happier, no lie
[03:12.70] I'm just your humble servant, I'm Nas
[03:15.98] If y'all burn down Ferguson, I'ma riot
[03:18.64] My life cannot be compared to anybody
[03:21.09] Any trapsters (trappers), any rapper (rapper)
[03:22.93] Any politician, beautician, a musician
[03:25.58] Anybody, saw many bodies
[03:27.41] Many coffins, heads or tails
[03:29.26] Penny tosses, either dead or in jail
[03:30.55] Not many options on the block I came from
[03:33.56] And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire
[03:36.82] And I roll right back to the block I came from (one)
[03:39.05] I was fearless, like a renegade (try to tell 'em)
[03:42.13] I had a feeling that I can't explain
[03:45.52] I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
[03:49.54] I came, I saw, I conquered
[03:52.40] I was constant as a northern star
[03:55.90] I had a fire burning in my heart
[03:59.31] I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
[04:03.32] I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
[04:06.93] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[04:10.19] I came, I saw, I conquered
[04:13.28] Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[04:17.28] I came, I saw, I conquered
