JAY Z Blue
JAY Z Lyrics

Let's do this for these babies
Let's make it big for our children

Mercedes truck, fuck, houses on acres
I'm living the luxurious life with my expensive cars and properties

Blatantly ballin' on HD
I'm living so extravagantly that it's captured in high definition for all to see

Y'all need to step up y'all AV
Others need to keep up and improve their own audio-visual equipment to match my success

Life changed again I was already taking off
My life was already on the rise, but it changed even more

My flight changed again
My travel plans were adjusted again

Slight change of winds
The circumstances around me slightly shifted

It's barely 12 noon and my wife changed again
My wife's mood or behavior has already shifted so early in the day

Baby need Pampers
My child needs a diaper change

Daddy need at least three weeks in the Hamptons
I, as a father, need a vacation for at least three weeks in the Hamptons

Please don't judge me, only hugged the block
Don't criticize me for spending time in my old neighborhood

I thought my daddy didn't love me
I used to think my father didn't care about me

My baby getting chubby
My child is gaining weight

Cue that Stevie Wonder music, aww isn't she lovely
Playing Stevie Wonder's song 'Isn't She Lovely' to celebrate my beautiful child

Now I'm staring at praying that things don't get ugly
I'm worrying and praying that things don't go wrong in my life

And I'm stuck in that old cycle like wife leaves hubby
I'm repeating a pattern where a wife leaves her husband

Fuck joint custody
I hate the idea of sharing custody of my child

I need a joint right now
I need marijuana to help me relax and cope

High on life
Feeling ecstatic about my life

I could die from the fall
Risking everything even though I could lose everything

Imagine if I hit the floor
Imagining the worst case scenario where I lose everything

Apologies in order
I owe apologies

To Blue Ivy my daughter
To my daughter Blue Ivy

If it was up to me
If I had the choice

You would be with me
My daughter would be with me

Sort of like daddy dearest
Like the saying 'daddy knows best'

I dream filthy (my mom and pops) mixed me with Jamaican
I have had lustful thoughts (about my parents) and I come from Jamaican heritage

(Rum and whiskey) what a set off (what a set off)
Drinking rum and whiskey sets off my behavior

And I know I'm not perfect baby
I understand that I have flaws

I been through so much trauma
I have experienced a lot of difficult events in my life

It gonna be hard to reverse it
It will be difficult to change the mental and emotional impact of those events

With some doctors and some nurses maybe
I might need help from medical professionals to overcome my traumas

Teach me on how to treat a lady
I want to be taught to respect women

Open doors on the 'Cedes
I am a gentleman who opens the car doors for women

This relationship shit is complicated
Having a romantic relationship is difficult

All I know is we ain't speaking everyday
I know that we are not talking every day

I fucking hate it
I despise this situation

I don't wanna duplicate it
I don't want to repeat this pattern

I seen my mom and pop drive each other motherfuckin' crazy
I have seen my parents drive each other crazy

And I got that nigga blood in me
I have the same attitude and temper as my father

I got his ego and his temper
I inherited my father's arrogance and short temper

All is missing is the drugs in me
I don't have my father's drug addiction, but I still have his negative traits

Father never taught me how to be a father, treat a mother
My own father never taught me how to be a parent, especially to mothers

I don't wanna have to just repeat another leave another
I don't want to repeat the pattern of fathers leaving their children

Baby with no daddy want no mama drama
Children without fathers don't want their mothers to be dramatic

I just wanna take her back to a time when everything was calmer
I want my child to experience a peaceful time in her life

Out in Paris on a terrace watching the Eiffel Tower
Imagining a peaceful time with my child in Paris

And a Ferris wheel yet and still, nothing could prepare us
Even in moments of joy, life always has surprises

For the beauty that you be Blue be
My daughter Blue Ivy is incredibly beautiful

Looking in your eyes is like a mirror, have to face my fears
When I see my daughter, I can see my own flaws and fears

Cheer up, why can't you just be happy
I want my daughter to be in good spirits and feel happy

Without these back and forth thoughts, you too much like your daddy
I worry that my daughter's behavior and attitude resemble mine too closely

Badly I just wanna spent more time with him
I really want to spend more time with my father

Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him
Unfortunately, life prevented me from having more time with my father

Now I got my own daughter, taught her how to take her first steps
Now I have my own child and watched her take her first steps

Cut the cord watch her take her first breath
I was there when my child took her first breath

And I'm trying and I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared
I'm doing my best, but I'm afraid too

But in life and death if I ain't here
Even if I'm not around in life or after death
