Veni Vidi Vici Song Lyrics
Madonna
Life is so crazy
You've been through a lot
I'll tell you stories sometimes, you know?
Seemed like yesterday
I was a baby on the street, I took a holiday
I was steppin' to the beat, I had to pay my rent
On the Lower East Side, I threw my tag around
Let B-boys take me for a ride, I started writing songs
I kinda got into the groove, they tried to criticize
My every single move, but then I realized
I had nothing left to lose, it took me by surprise
When I became the news (whoa)
I was fearless like a renegade
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
I came, I saw, I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered (yeah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
(Talk to 'em, talk to 'em)
I expressed myself
Came like a virgin down the aisle, exposed my naked ass
And I did it with a smile, and when it came to sex
I knew I walked the borderline
And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind
I justified my love, I made you say a little prayer
They had me crucified, you know I had to take you there
I opened up my heart, I learned the power of goodbye
I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (music saved my life)
I was fearless like a renegade
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
I came, I saw, I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered (uh)
In 1994 (what?)
I came through the door with that born beats versus scratches
Verbally murdered rappers (murdered, murdered, murdered)
My mom's from the Carolina's, pops from Natchez
And QB's where I started flowing, but
I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in (uh)
Had a baby girl by a crazy girl
Then I got married, heavily accosted
That ended in a bad divorce, I know how to pick 'em, don't I?
Never gave a fuck about public pressure
Or the ridicule, I'm too big to lose
Now who's the fool?
And I ain't never been happier, no lie
I'm just your humble servant, I'm Nas
If y'all burn down Ferguson, I'ma riot
My life cannot be compared to anybody
Any trapsters (trappers), any rapper (rapper)
Any politician, beautician, a musician
Anybody, saw many bodies
Many coffins, heads or tails
Penny tosses, either dead or in jail
Not many options on the block I came from
And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire
And I roll right back to the block I came from (one)
I was fearless, like a renegade (try to tell 'em)
I had a feeling that I can't explain
I didn't listen to what people said (whatcha do?)
I came, I saw, I conquered
I was constant as a northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark (yeah)
I came, I saw, I conquered (let's go)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I came, I saw, I conquered
Madonna on the track
Nas in the back
