Nice work if you can get it And you can get it if you try The man who only lives for making money Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny Likewise the man who works for fame There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name The fact is, the only work

I feel like, the world mine Just bow down, the world mine I'ma let you live, the world mine This world mine Yeah I like that, boi Nigga fuck your time niggga I waited my whole life to be the man of the hour

We need a miracle a miracle a miracle man I’m comfortable with who I am I’m comfortable with my cynical stance Miracle man (miracle man) Beware hysteria I’ll get another lover baby just like you Livin' our life

Go home again Go back to your friends Go back and repair your heart He was a boy Who felt like a man She was a girl From a far away land Far more beautiful Than the picture in his hand

Don't you be fake with me You can be honest with me Who could relate to me? Don't go near me like it's Vegas Man this life ain't no vacation (Don't you be fake with me) (You could be on this brigade) I made it out the city quick Mom finally proud of me

You with your switchblade posse I'll get my guns from the south We'll take to the yard like a cock fight For kicks, who's struttin' now? Huff men don't take no nonsense He's here to rectify He's got his black belt buckle And the red mans fire in his eyes

To have you hear what I have to say Help me help you, I'm down on my knees If you need me so much then why did you leave You needed a reason, you needed too much. You can lean on me, but don't lean On me like I'm your crutch. So, who do you trust now

You're my man of war And the worms will come for you Drift all you like From ocean to ocean Search the whole world But drunken confessions And hijacked affairs Will just make you more alone

A stranger no more Take my hand I'm a stranger in paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in paradise If I stand starry-eyed That's the danger in paradise For mortals who stand beside an angel like you I saw your face as I ascended

Like a man who has two hearts Can there be peace No release always the same I won't come here again Both of them worlds apart Both of them play their part you know Like a man who has two wives His life the becomes alibis Nobody asks him why you know
