Part II
Jay-Z&Beyonce Lyrics

Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway
Why would anyone want a cliché, predictable love story?

Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché
It's overused and uninteresting.

Who wants that hero love that saves the day, anyway
Why do people find the heroic love story so appealing?

What about the bad guy goes good, yea
What if the villain turns out to be a good person?

And the missing love that's misunderstood, yea
Why not explore the story of a misunderstood love?

Black hour glass, our glass toast to clichés in a dark past
Let's acknowledge that clichés are part of our history.

Boy meets girl
A classic love story trope.

Girl perfect women
The girl is ideal and flawless.

Girl get the bustin' before the cops come running uh
The girl is ready to fight before the authorities arrive.

Chucking deuces, chugging D'USSE
Drinking and throwing up peace signs.

Fuck what you say, boys in blue say uh
Ignoring the police and their orders.

I don't care if we on the run
Even if we're running from the law, it doesn't matter.

Baby as long as I'm next to you
As long as we're together, everything is okay.

And if loving you is a crime
Even if being in love with you is against the law.

Tell me why do I bring out the best in you
Why do you feel like a better person when you're with me?

I hear sirens while we make love
The law enforcement is nearby, but we don't care.

Loud as hell but they don't know
We're being loud, but the police don't realize we're here.

They're nowhere near us
The authorities are not close enough to catch us.

I will hold your heart and your gun
I will protect you and your weapons.

I know it's crazy but
Even though this is insane.

I'm an outlaw, got an outlaw chick
I'm a rebel, and my girl is too.

Bumping 2Pac, on my outlaw shit
Listening to 2Pac, who was an outlaw in his own right.

Matching tatts, this ink don't come off
We have matching tattoos that are permanent.

Even if rings come off
Even if we're not together anymore.

If things ring off
If there's trouble.

My nails get dirty
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.

My past ain't pretty, my lady is, my Mercedes is
I have a dark past, but my girlfriend and car are beautiful.

My baby momma harder than a lot of you niggas
My ex-girlfriend is tougher than most men.

Keep it 100, hit the lottery niggas
Be honest with me, tell me the truth.

You ain't about that life ain't gotta lie to me, nigga
If you're not really experienced in this lifestyle, don't pretend to be.

You know it's 'til the death, I hope it obvi' to niggas
We're loyal to each other until the end, and I hope that's obvious.

Uh cross the line, speak about mine
If you talk about my personal life, there will be consequences.

I'mma wave this TEC, I'm a geek about mine
I'm going to show off my firearm, and I'm passionate about my possessions.

Touch a nigga where his rib at, I click clat
If you touch me in a vulnerable spot, I'll shoot you.

Push your ma'fucka wig back, I did that
I'm capable of violently attacking someone.

I been wilding since a juvi'
I've been reckless since I was young.

She was a good girl till she knew me
I've turned my girlfriend into a bad girl by association.

Now she is in the drop bustin' U-ies screaming
She's driving around recklessly, making sharp turns, and shouting.

Deeper then words, beyond right
Our love is beyond what can be expressed in words or is morally right.

Die for your love, beyond life
I would be willing to die for you, and our love transcends this life.

Sweet as a Jesus piece, beyond ice
Our love is precious and priceless.

Blind me baby with your neon lights
Your love is so bright that it blinds me.

Ray Bans on, police in sight
Wearing sunglasses while being watched by the police.

Oh, what a beautiful death
Dying would be beautiful if we died together.

Let's both wear white
We should dress alike at our funeral.

If you go to heaven and they bring me to hell
If you end up in heaven and I end up in hell.

Just sneak out and meet me, bring a box of L's
Meet me outside of heaven with cigarettes.

She fell in love with the bad guy, the bad guy
You fell in love with me, the rebellious guy.

What you doing with them rap guys, them rap guys
Why are you wasting time with other rappers?

They ain't see potential in me girl, but you see it
Other people didn't believe in me, but you did.

If it's me and you against the world, then so be it uh
If it's just us two against everyone else, that's okay.

I don't care if they give me life
Even if I'm sentenced to life in prison.

I get all of my life from you
My happiness comes from being with you.

And if loving you had a price
Even if being in love with you cost me something.

I would pay my life for you
I would die for you.

I don't care I'll never give it up
I'm never going to give up on you.

No I swear I'll never give it up
I promise to always fight for our love.

(Without you I got nothing to lose)
If I lose you, I have nothing else to lose.
