Lucky
S Jay Lyrics

How can you fairly assess something from the outside looking in?
It's impossible to fully understand something without experiencing it firsthand.

There's gotta be them times you'll be wrong, nah mean?
Even if you think you understand something from the outside, you're bound to be wrong at times.

How can a motherfucker go round and hate a nigga
It's absurd to hate someone you've never met or don't even know.

He never even met, that he don't even know and shit?
It's ridiculous to hold hatred towards someone who is a stranger to you.

I think this rap shit is all beef
The music industry is often filled with drama and conflict.

Y'all don't even know every day I'm living with stress
People don't realize the constant stress and pressure that comes with fame.

Got up out the streets you think a nigga could rest
Even if you leave the streets, you can't escape the stress and danger that comes with wealth and fame.

Can't even enjoy myself at a party unless
Even at a party, there's a constant need to be on guard and cautious.

I'm on the dance floor hot ass vest
To protect yourself, you need to be constantly armored.

You think I'm freakin' these chicks right?
People assume that celebrities are constantly sleeping around.

Try not to brush against they chest

At the funeral parlor, drippin' tears on my sleeve

Knowing one day I'ma have to flip, c'mon

And you have to kill a nigga and your wrist don't lock

And niggas see you in the street, pretend to be friendly

But I know any type of success breeds envy
