Sweet Life Lyrics - Janelle Monae

Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life 

All the darkness, scattered out of sight 

I've been waiting on this for some time 

Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind 

When my back's against the wall then I react 

The point of no return, hey it ain't no comin' back 

Ask me what the difference is, I got everything they lack 

And I really touched that bag, see I really had a sack 

I done been to Hell and back, I seen Lucifer himself 

I seen niggas pawn their souls cause they ain't got nothin' left 

Fuck all that hopin' and wishin', my nigga, play your position 

I know you thought I wasn't lookin' but I was payin' attention 

No you can't see through my shades, just know I'm smilin' inside 

It's like the old me deceased, I'm kinda glad that I died 

This that new and improved, this that I'm in the mood 

You know he don't like to lose so why y'all fuckin' with dude? 

Hey look it could be that Pac in me, or maybe my prophesy 

Won't let you drive me crazy, it's like I studied psychology 

Ask me my occupation, I say I live for a livin' 

Now what you see when you see me? I did alright for a villain 

My sweet life

Sweet life, oh my, you turn this to life 

All the darkness, scattered out of sight 

I've been waiting on this for some time 

Now that it's here, I'm gonna rewind 

I guess the haters ain't so bad after all 

I'm lookin' forward to my haters comin' after y'all 

Boy you sure had me fooled, you should've been an actor, dawg 

My success, it make you jump like you've been drinkin' alcohol 

Yeah I'm 'bout to go so hard, I'ma make these niggas sick 

Ain't no neutral, what's your side? I'ma make you niggas pick 

Hey I don't know everything, I just know what I know 

Why would you follow them niggas? They don't even know where to go 

Won't see me do no complainin', maybe some rearrangin' 

Now let's get this understood, sometimes some change can be good 

Could be good, could be great, your destiny or your fate 

If I wasn't a ghetto prophet I'd still be movin' the weight 

Yeah you know when I'm winnin', you see me out and i'm grinnin' 

Been chasin' paper since Monday, that's 7 days I've been sinnin' 

Count your tests and blessings cause they're all God-given 

Like it's the big magic question, how did I dodge prison?
