LYRICS

"CARNIVAL OF VENICE"

Les

I'm tryna see the best of things

Lace my girl, 5 carats in her ring

Get my moms a crib, my pops a new whip

When it's all said and done - stack a mil for my kids

Work hard, play hard, stack dough, live well

Get away

Stay on an island in my own hotel

Got my little sister proud - like, check him out

She happy I put a pool in her house - she love to swim

I'm known for my taste in ladies

Plus a Murcielago and a pair of twin grey Mercedes

Staties leave me alone when I cruise the expressway

Can't touch me the community loves me

I'm on the news shaking hands

Had to give back

Salvation Army get a hundred grand

And - I own a company of which I'm the chair

I'm the boss, El Jefe premiere

And I'm knowin' they stare

When they see me at the Rolex store

On the low - the rose gold cost a hundred and 4

That's a house on the arm, couple cars on the wrist

Yea - success served cold is a remarkable dish

When they see me, yea - they might stand around for a photo

Watch for a king, got a crown for a logo

Owe it all to God, so the greatest, I thank

The whole team gettin' green, celebrate at the Bank

Yea- that volcano flow slow burn thru your stereo

You know what the business is, you know the scenario

Black Mozart flow, hated like the Taliban

With a black fur coat made of astrakhan

Thick in the club, man, you know I'ma turn up

Money here to get, homie, you know I'ma earn up

Ace for the entourage, bring the Methuselah

Envy make haters turn green like arugula

Still make a fool of you - 'Pagne (pain) in a gold bottle

Stunt hard these lames need a role model

Shorty with the pretty face that's my plus one

Feature presentation - word to Suss One

Gold on the wrist - no time for the gimmicks

Living a self-made "Sweet Dream" Annie Lennox

Class in session, hope you all in attendance

Puttin' the mask on for the Carnival of Venice

+yeudy Ezequiel Ocumares Christopher Ryan doesn't want to sell his music via a store like itunes as they take most of the money and the artists usually just get a very small part of the margin.

actually, it's more like *be good *be nice *do well kind of lyric? kind of ironic considering rap is supposed to reactionary or more or less politically incorrect?

Not even that, he doesn't even talk about his journey; he just talks about the money, women, fame, etc, that he can indulge in now. If anything, the fact that he's come so far to get to this point and has nothing to talk about is sad. You'd think he'd have wisdom to share and a message to spread. Nada. What will his "success" mean in the end? Rolex watches & bitches? Apparently nothing that can transcend and become immortal as art should.

ever thought that this song represents his rise from rags to riches? Look at his past, and tell me that somebody with that past would not talk about what he is talking about.
