Lost+Viva La Vida (Live) - Jay-Z/Coldplay
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I've stopped
Doesn't mean I'm across
Just because I'm hurting
Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserved
No better and no worse
I just got lost
Every river that I tried to 'cross
Every door I ever tried was locked
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Uhh
With the same sword they knight you
They gon' good night you with
Yeah that's only half if they like you
That ain't even the half what they might do
Don't believe me ask Michael
See Martin see Malcolm
See Biggie see Pac see success and it's outcome
See Jesus see Judas
See Caesar see Brutus see success is like suicide
Suicide this is suicide
If you succeed prepare to be crucified
Uh
Media meddles
Niggaz sue you you settle
Every step you take they remind you you ghetto
So it's tough being Bobby Brown
To be Bobby then you have to be Bobby now
The question is is to have had and lost
Better than not having it all
Because it dough
You shine just waiting 'til the shine wears off
Woah
Oh and I'm just waiting 'til the shine wears off
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the mornin' I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
Ooh
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing
Now the old king is dead long live the king
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
Discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Until now dream sometimes to feel so far
Away oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin'
Roman cavalry choirs are singin'
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Huu
Mmm huuu
Mmm
