Part II
Jay-Z/Beyoncé Lyrics

Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway
Who truly desires a clichéd, flawless love story?

Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché
It's all just a tired and overused story.

Who wants that hero love that saves the day, anyway
Who wants a stereotypical love story with a white knight saving his damsel in distress?

Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché
It's just another tired, unoriginal story.

What about the bad guy goes good, yea
Have you ever considered a story where the 'bad guy' becomes good?

And the missing love that's misunderstood, yea
A love that is not present, or not understood, could be just as compelling.

Black hour glass, our glass toast to clichés in a dark past
We raise a toast to the clichés of our dark past.

Toast to clichés in a dark past
We celebrate the typical stories of our troubled past.

Boy meets girl
The classic setup for any love story.

Girl perfect women
The girl is seen as perfect, ideal, and unattainable.

Girl get the bustin' before the cops come running uh
The girl is a fearless rebel, not afraid of authority.

Chucking deuces, chugging D'USSE
Making a quick farewell gesture and drinking alcohol.

Fuck what you say, boys in blue say uh
Ignoring what others say, particularly the police.

I don't care if we on the run Baby as long as I'm next to you And if loving you is a crime Tell me why do I bring out the best in you
I don't care if we are running from the law, because being with you brings out the best in me.

I hear sirens while we make love Loud as hell but they don't know They're nowhere near us I will hold your heart and your gun I don't care if they come, no I know it's crazy but They can take me
Even though the police are near, our love persists and I will protect you no matter what.

Now that I found the places that you take, take me Without you I got nothing to lose
I am willing to go wherever you may take me, because without you, I have nothing to lose.

I'm an outlaw, got an outlaw chick Bumping 2Pac, on my outlaw shit Matching tatts, this ink don't come off Even if rings come off If things ring off My nails get dirty My past ain't pretty, my lady is, my Mercedes is My baby momma harder than a lot of you niggas Keep it 100, hit the lottery niggas You ain't about that life ain't gotta lie to me, nigga You know it's 'til the death, I hope it obvi' to niggas Uh cross the line, speak about mine I'mma wave this TEC, I'm a geek about mine Touch a nigga where his rib at, I click clat Push your ma'fucka wig back, I did that I been wilding since a juvi' She was a good girl till she knew me Now she is in the drop bustin' U-ies screaming
I am an outlaw, with a partner who is equally independent and daring. We have matching tattoos, our love is permanent, no matter what happens. I am not afraid to get my hands dirty to protect my past, present and future. My love for my ladies is greater than any other thing. Don't pretend to have a life like mine, it's until I die. I'm willing to do anything to protect what's mine, even harm others.

Deeper then words, beyond right Die for your love, beyond life Sweet as a Jesus piece, beyond ice Blind me baby with your neon lights Ray Bans on, police in sight Oh, what a beautiful death Let's both wear white If you go to heaven and they bring me to hell Just sneak out and meet me, bring a box of L's She fell in love with the bad guy, the bad guy What you doing with them rap guys, them rap guys They ain't see potential in me girl, but you see it If it's me and you against the world, then so be it uh
Our love goes deeper than words, beyond life and death, and is sweeter than any material possession. I am not afraid even when in the presence of police officers. Death is beautiful, and we should celebrate it together. If we end up in different places after we die, let's still find a way to be together. She chose to love me, the 'bad guy', over the judgment of those around her. Our love triumphed in the end, and if we are together, we can overcome any obstacle.

I don't care if they give me life I get all of my life from you And if loving you had a price I would pay my life for you
Even if it means sacrificing everything, I am willing to pay the ultimate price to love you.

I don't care I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away No I swear I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away I don't care I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away No I swear I'll never give it up Give it up, give it up, give it all away (Without you I got nothing to lose)
I will never give up on our love, I will always hold onto it, no matter the cost. My love is my everything, without it I have nothing.
