Yeah it's magic Uhh, Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz And it's a Heavy D product you bastards Come on Ha hey yo stop playing man This is real serious Ha (It's the rock) yeah yo
[Jay-Z] Post Postatono, Hov' hanging with Bono You too can live like Salvatore Ferragamo And you too can cool out poolside after Delano And you too flow like you was out of your mind yo And who knew dude who loved apple pies from McDonald's Would soon be the boss of the Big Apple, ya know And who knew dude would play ball for the NBA Would make a mistake on the who know it stayed still in the way Who knew that would be his last shot, who drew up that play They giveth and they taketh life is cruel that way But even a broken clock is right at least two times a day You could have turned Guns into Roses like two times today Now there'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 Its safe when you play with skills, good luck could happen Let's go
(C'mon) It's the Roc [repeat 4X] That's right
[Jay-Z] It got to 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 I turned in all my rap chips I'm earning my bachelors While 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 riches through trafficking Through rappining whatever's happening Roc-a-wear I'm the young black Ralph Lauren Every time I get out they put me right back in The Michael Corleone of the microphone The Michelangelo of flow I paint pictures with poems I gather no moss like a rolling stone Case the Grim Reaper visits my home, nigga I'm gone c'mon
(C'mon) It's the Roc [3X] (C'mon) That's right (C'mon)
[Lenny Kravitz: repeat 2X] Life is all about Guns and Roses Bittersweet like friends and foes Some get left behind, some get chosen Just like life, Guns and Roses
[Jay-Z] Tote, more Guns then Roses, foes is, visibly shook of the invisible book, let's go Flowers need water to grow, it gotta rain And in order to experience joy you need pain Every time a baby is born, somebody 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 cloud comes 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 To turn that into something you gotta learn from Jay You will get return in your investment if attention you pay let's go
(C'mon) It's the Roc [3X] (C'mon) That's right (C'mon)
[Lenny Kravitz: repeat 2X] Life is all about Guns and Roses Bittersweet like friends and foes Some get left behind, some get chosen Just like life, Guns and Roses
