Allure Lyrics - The Black Album - Jay-z

Young! It's da life... 

Once again it's da life! Yess. 

(I don't know why... I get so high on) 

It's intoxicatin man... y'all don't know why you do what you do 

(Get so high on(Yess). get so high(C'mon) - high off the life) 

[Verse 1: Jay-Z] 

The allure of breakin' the law 

It's always too much for me to ever ignore 

I gotta thing for them big body Benzes... it dulls my senses 

I'm in love with a V-dub engine 

Mann I'm high off life- fuck it, I'm wasted 

Bathing Ape kicks, Audemar Piguet wrists 

My women friend get tennis bracelets 

Trips ta Venice, get their winters replaced with... 

The sun, it aint even fun no more, I'm jaded 

Man it's just da game, I just play it to play it 

Put my feet in the footprints left to me 

Without sayin' a word, the ghettos got a mental telepathy 

Man my brother hustled, so naturally, up next is me 

But what perplexes me 

Shit I know how this movie ends, still I play 

the starrin role in "Hovito's Way"

[Chorus] 

It's just life, I solemnly swear 

To change my approach, stop shavin coke 

Stay away from hoes, put down the toast 

Cause I be doin the most. oh no! 

But every time I felt that was that, it called me right back 

It called me right back, man it called me right back - oh no! 

[Verse Two] 

I'm like a Russian mobster, drinkin distilled vodka 

'Til I'm under the field with Hoffa, it's real 

Peel the top up like a toupee 

Mix the water, with the soda 

Turn the pot up make a souflee 

All of y'all can get it like group-page on your 2-way 

I'm livin proof that crime do pay 

Say hooray to the bad guy, and all the broads 

puttin cars in they name for the stars of the game 

Puttin 'caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train 

All in the name of love 

Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came 

Over the house to take back, everything that they claimed 

Or even the worst pain is the dis-tress 

Learnin you're the mis-tress only after that love gets slain 

And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mis-trust 

Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain 

But the allure of the game, keeps callin your name 

To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain 

To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes 

We all hustlers, in love with the same thang

[Chorus] 

[Verse Three] 

I never felt more alive than ridin shotgun 

In Cline's green 5 until the cops pulled guns 

And I tried to smoke weed to give me the fix I need 

what the game did to my pulse, with no results 

And you can treat your nose and still won't come close 

The game is a lightbulb with eleventy-million volts 

And I'm just a moth, addicted to the floss 

And doors lift from the floor and the tops come off 

By any means necessary, whatever the cost 

Even if it means lives is lost. 

And I can't explain why, I just love to get high 

Drink life, smoke the blueberry sky, blink twice 

I'm in the blueberry 5, you blink three times 

I may not even be alive 

I mean James Dean couldn't escape the allure 

Dyin young, leavin a good lookin corpse 

'Course 

[Chorus] 

Once again it's the life! 

I said it's the life! 

Once again it's the life - oh no! 

(I don't why I) why I (get so high on) 

get so (get so high on) uh-huh 

(get so high - high off the life!) 

Hahahahahahaha - woo!
