Blue Lyrics - Jay-Z (Magna Carta… Holy Grail Album)

 [Intro]

I work and work 'till I'm half-dead.

And I hear people saying, "She's getting old."

And what do I get? A daughter.

Who cares as much about the beautiful dresses I give her.

As she cares about me.

[Verse 1]

Let's do this for these babies

Mercedes truck, fuck

Houses on acres

Blatantly ballin' on HD

Y'all need to step up y'all AV

Life changed again I was already taking off

My flight changed again

Slight change of winds

It's barely 12 noon

And my wife changed again

Baby needs Pampers

Daddy needs at least three weeks in the Hamptons

Please don't judge me, only hugged the block

I thought my daddy didn't love me

My baby getting chubby

Cue that Stevie Wonder music, aww isn't she lovely

Now I'm staring at praying that things don't get ugly

And I'm stuck in that old cycle

Like wife leaves hubby

Fuck joint custody

I need a joint right now

Just the thought alone fucks with me

[Hook]

High on life

I could die from the fall

Imagine if I hit the floor

Apologies in order

To Blue Ivy my daughter

If it was up to me

You would be with me

Sort of like daddy dearest

[Interlude]

Don't fuck with me fellas. This ain't my first time at the rodeo.

[Verse 2]

I dream filthy (my mom and pops) mixed me with Jamaican

(Rum and whiskey) what a set off (What a set off)

And I know I'm not perfect baby

I been through so much trauma

It gonna be hard to reverse it

With some doctors and some nurses maybe

Teach me on how to treat a lady

Open doors on the 'Cedes

This relationship shit is complicated

All I know is we ain't speaking everyday

I fucking hate it

I don't wanna duplicate it

I seen my mom and pop drive each other motherfuckin' crazy

And I got that nigga blood in me

I got his ego and his temper

All is missing is the drugs in me

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

Father never taught me how to be a father

Treated mother I don't wanna have to just repeat another leave another

Baby with no daddy want no mama drama I just wanna

Take her back to a time when

Everything was calmer

Out in Paris on a terrace

Watching the Eiffel Tower

And a Ferris wheel yet and still

Nothing could prepare us

For the beauty that you be Blue be

Looking in your eyes is like a mirror

Have to face my fears

Cheer up

Why could you just be happy

Without these back and forth thoughts

You too much like your daddy

Badly I just wanna spent more time with him

Sadly life wouldn't let me get around with him

Now I got my own daughter

Taught her how to take her first steps

Cut the cord watch her take her first breath

And I'm trying and I'm lying if I said I wasn't scared

But in life and death

If I ain't here

[Hook]
