Veni Vidi Vici - Madonna Nas

Madonna life was so crazy

You've been through a lot

I tell you stories some times you know

Seemed like yesterday I was a baby on the street

I took a holiday I was stepping 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

I was fearless like a renegade

I had a feeling that I can't explain

I didn't listen to what people said

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

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

I expressed myself came like a virgin down the aisle

Exposed my naked ass and did it with a smile

And when it came to sex I know I walked the borderline

And when I struck a pose all the gay boys lost their minds

I justified my love I made you say a little prayer

They had me crucified you know I had to take it there

I opened up my heart I learned the power of goodbye

I saw a ray of light

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

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

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

In 1994 I came through the door

With that born beats versus scratches

Verbally murdered rappers

My mom's from the Carolina's pops from Natchez

And QB's where I started flowing

But I was scared the cops was kick my apartment door in

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 f**k about public pressure

Or the ridicule of two bigger dudes

Now who's the fool

And I ain't never been happier no lie

I'm just you humble servant I'm Nas

If y'all burn down Ferguson I'ma riot

My life cannot be compared to anybody

Any trapsters and rappers

Any politicians beauticians a musician

Anybody so I'm anybodies

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

Fearless like a renegade

I had a feeling that I can't explain

I didn't listen to what people said

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

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered

Oh ohhhhhh oh

I came I saw I conquered
