Lucky Me
Big Sean Lyrics

Lucky me
I feel fortunate

If they want my spot, then they gotta come for me
I'm determined to protect my position

Just know I want this shit more than whatever it is you want from me
I desire success more than anything

And the only thought at night that comforts me is starving whoever's hunting me
I find solace in knowing my enemies struggle

Shit, lucky me, to be rich in a world where nothing's free
I consider myself fortunate to be wealthy in a world where everything has a price

And separated from hell by one degree
I am only one step away from a disastrous situation

Surrounded by niggas who did first degree
I am surrounded by friends who have committed serious crimes

And the other ones that never got they first degree, sheesh
And others who never even completed their education, damn

Lucky me (nigga), yeah, I done slashed hoes like I'm Slash on some rockstar shit
I feel lucky that I've had numerous sexual encounters like a rockstar

Even bought Slash old crib, that's rockstar as it gets
I even purchased the former residence of the famous musician Slash, that's as rockstar as it gets

And had my hands on the R&B legends you couldn't handle
I have had intimate relationships with R&B icons that others couldn't handle

Whether you do music or not, you wish you could sample
Even if you are not involved in music, you would envy the experiences I've had

And I had to live through the scandals, public humiliations, and breaks up on camera
I had to endure scandals, public embarrassments, and the end of relationships in front of the cameras

It's a living nightmare when your dream girl has to get canceled
It's a terrible experience when the person you are infatuated with faces public criticism and backlash

And you gotta delete all the photos and shit like you never Instagrammed it
And you have to remove all the photos and memories as if they never existed

And you get off track but somehow you gotta stay transit, ha
And even when you lose focus, you still have to keep moving forward

Man, lucky me
I feel fortunate

I was diagnosed with a heart disease at nineteen
I was diagnosed with a heart condition when I was only nineteen years old

Could barely stand on my feet
I could hardly remain upright

Doctor said they had to cut it open, put a pacemaker on it to put it back on beat
The doctor recommended surgery to implant a pacemaker and restore a normal heartbeat

'Til my mama took me to holistic doctors and they prescribed me magnesium for two weeks
But my mother took me to alternative medicine practitioners who prescribed magnesium supplements for a two-week period

Went back to the regular doctors and they said
When I returned to conventional doctors, they said

"Huh, damn, looks like we don't need to proceed"
"Hmm, well, it seems we don't need to perform the surgery"

That's how I know that western medicine weak
This experience made me realize the limitations of Western medicine

Man lucky me, to be the chosen one
I feel fortunate to be selected for a special purpose

And saved for the special occasions like I was Opus One
Saved for significant moments, just like a rare and valuable wine

You know and I'ma live forever like Walt Disney, the frozen one
I believe I will live on eternally, like Walt Disney, who is cryogenically preserved

Done flew so many times past the limit, I didn't even know it was one
I have exceeded the boundaries so often that I wasn't even aware they existed

And faced our problems head on when they told us to run
I confronted our difficulties directly when others advised us to flee

And ran it up in the city where no one would come
I achieved success in a city that others overlooked

One that had literally died but then came back alive
A city that seemed lifeless but experienced a resurgence

And that's the furthest thing that I know from over and done
And that's the complete opposite of being finished and completed

And I don't even have to say it, you know where I'm from, bitch
I don't need to state it explicitly, you already know my hometown, damn

Lucky me, lucky who? Lucky true
I feel fortunate, lucky who? Lucky true

It's a wonder what prayer, working smart, and love can do
It's amazing what can be achieved through prayer, intelligence, and love

And y'all got an efficient and humble crew
And you have a capable and modest team

And you got a long list of the things y'all wanna do
And you have an extensive list of goals you wish to accomplish

Shit, who who knows? Lucky me can turn into lucky you
Who knows? My good fortune can also bring good fortune to you

We turn nothing to something so much, it's nothing new
We have a knack for turning nothing into significant achievements, it's not a new concept

I know lady luck so well, I swear that's like my bottom bitch, number two
I am very familiar with luck, it's almost like my trustworthy assistant, the second in command

Doing what we love and choose with lots to lose and more to prove
We pursue our passions with great risks and a relentless drive to prove ourselves

Ain't runnin' from nothing but haven't lost sight of the finish line
We are not avoiding challenges, but we also keep our ultimate goal in mind

That we been runnin' to, lil' bitch
The finish line that we have been striving towards, damn

This Detroit fuckin' 2
This represents the second phase of my journey in Detroit

My thoughts is all black, yeah, I'm back to the roots
My mindset is focused and resolute, I'm returning to my origins

Fuck your white flag, ho, I don't want no truce
I reject any offers of surrender or compromise, I don't want peace

And we all in the huddle they like, it's on you
And when we gather, they look to me for leadership and direction

Mmm, lucky me, pressure's what I eat
Mmm, I feel fortunate, I thrive under pressure

Ain't no roses at my feet, just the blood on the concrete, look
There are no accolades or rewards waiting for me, just the harsh realities and sacrifices of my journey

The mission is covert, I stuck to the code and you don't know the code word
My mission is secretive, I remain loyal to my principles and you are unaware of the secret language and protocol

Once they turn me up and just know that it's over
When they amplify me and enhance my presence, understand that I will dominate

My soul is on soulless, surrounded by angels and soldiers on soldiers
I feel disconnected and indifferent, yet I am supported by loyal friends and protectors

World turn me cold, game turned me colder
The world has made me callous, the industry has made me even more cold-hearted

Sittin' court-side lookin' like I'm finna be the fuckin' future owner
Sitting courtside, appearing as if I'm destined to become the future owner

Cup runneth over and she coming over
I have an abundance of opportunities and women are seeking to be with me

And she told me that her lil' bro wanna be me when he older
And she confided in me that her younger brother idolizes me and wants to be like me when he grows up

Look, I ain't gon' hold you, though
Look, I won't lie to you

Put in my family, I feel like Utopia
Taking care of my family makes me feel like I'm in paradise

Falling in love with a slut is my phobia
I have a fear of falling in love with promiscuous individuals

My whole team first class, so it ain't no coaching us
My entire team is top-notch, we don't require any guidance

Whoa there, don't go there, now slow down lil' brody, I know you don't know me
Hold on, don't take it there, now calm down, young brother, you don't really know me

I buffed up my chest up, I feel like Hulk Hogan, I walk in the building like everybody owe me
I puff out my chest, feeling as strong as Hulk Hogan, and enter the room with a sense of entitlement

Move heaven on earth, this shit feel like erosion
I am capable of achieving great things, it feels monumental

The don, I'm the king, I'm consulting the soldiers
I am the leader, I am the king, guiding and advising my loyal followers

You talk to me nice and not real, I'm insulted
If you speak to me in a flattering but insincere manner, it offends me

I bet on myself, ain't no way my hands folded
I have confidence in myself, I am not giving up

What's a limitation? Fuck your validation, I don't gotta figure, God flow got it renovated
I don't believe in restrictions, I don't need your approval, I don't have to figure it out because my divine talent has elevated it

Demon slayer and bitch slayin', legendary it's insulated
I conquer my inner demons and conquer women, I am legendary and protected

Two guards outside barricaded while I'm serenading
Two bodyguards protectively stand outside while I engage in romantic activities

Paradise covein' while I'm strokin', pussy tight I'm claustrophobic
I find pleasure in intimate encounters while feeling overwhelmed by the tightness, as if in a small space

She do damn down and devoted, got me wondering what's her motives
She is loyal and dedicated, but I question her true intentions

Remember my feelings don't mean shit to none of my goals
I prioritize my goals over my emotions

So I gotta stay focused, this city is soulless, this shit get too vulgar
So I must remain focused, this city lacks soul, and things can become too explicit

Seen bodies wrapped up in them white sheets, no COVID
I have witnessed lifeless bodies covered in white sheets, unrelated to the current pandemic

Prayin' hands, prayin' hands
Symbolizing prayer and supplication

Say amen, got a lot of to do
Let us pray, I have many tasks to accomplish

But she gon' wait on me (wait on me)
But she will patiently wait for me

Legendary shit, lucky me
I am involved in remarkable and legendary endeavors, I feel fortunate
