Lyrics by:Ariel Rechtshaid/Madonna/Maureen McDonald/Thomas Pentz/Toby Gad
Composed by:Madonna/Thomas Pentz/Ariel Rechtshaid/Maureen McDonald/Toby Gad
Madonna life is so crazy
You been through a lot
Gotta tell your story sometimes you know
Seemed like yesterday I was a baby on the street
I took a holiday I was steppin' 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 the northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Talk to 'em talk to 'em
I expressed myself
Came like a virgin down the aisle
Exposed my naked ass
And I 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 mind
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 the northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
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 Carolinas
Pop's from Natchez
And QB's where I started flowin'
But I was scared the cops gon' 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 fuck about public pressure
Or the ridicule I'm too big to lose
Now who's the fool?
And I never been happier no lie
I'm just your humble servant I'm Nas
If y'all burn down Ferguson I'ma riot
My life cannot be compared to anybody
Any trappers any rapper
Any politician beautician or musician
Anybody saw many bodies
Many coffins heads or tails
Penny tosses either that or 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
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 the northern star
I had a fire burning in my heart
I never gave up fighting in the dark
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Ooh
I came I saw I conquered
Madonna on the track
Nas in the back
