Ryan Leslie - Beautiful Lie Lyrics

yeah, you gotta love paris!*
shorty fine i see a future in her face
i said i’m at the le meurice
she looked at me & said “after-party, your place”
wow – now that’s a five star evenin

let’s hit the suite for some 5 star treatment
lights off, music on, heavy breathin’
round three, man, i’m over achievin’
and she lovin’ the way i’m winnin, hey
i’m caked up wit mo’ checks i’m getting paid
we wake up it’s mo’ sex & minute maid
that’s the rockstar life – i live it, baby
ain’t no tellin where i’ma go, man

carefree livin’ lovin’ every moment
i leave the buildin tip a hundred to my doorman
now i’m in the gullwing pedal to the floor, man, ugh
and if you’re feelin how i’m feelin put your hands to the sky
‘cause we only gon’ get this moment one chance in our lives
and we all wanna believe in a beautiful lie
a beautiful lie

yeah, i’m on my j-o-b
shorty eyening me like a drug, man, she way od
i ain’t pay to get in this club, homie, they owe me

i used to be the underdog ralph macchio

now u see me stuntinn in the club with a versace ho
and she gon’ ride for me do or die
and she be killinn these b*tches assisted suicide
that mean they killinn themselves when she slide thru
i mean, look at her – you would want to die too!
and you don’t need no other reason
than the way she be rockinn furs out of season
i leave the spot – tell the valet gimme my keys, man
my shorty hot – you should get you one of these, man

Ryan Leslie Ft. Morelos Fe - This Time Lyrics

Ryan Leslie Ft. Morelos Fe - This Time Lyrics

what if we could do it all again
then i promise you that i would, i would
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right
she the type of girl i’d take a picture with a friend
who’s something like a model cause she’s something like a tan
just to prove the point that she is just as fine as her
… clothes too defining her, beautiful, beautiful
make me feel, make me feel, like everything
like everything i’m either way i planned and nothing’s missing
if we could work it out then it would be perfect
but you be jessie james that aren’t really there
and you’ll be after things that aren’t really there
but you’ll find them, and you’ll find them someday

girl if we could do it all again
then i promise you that i would, i would
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right

i’ll be telling you everything you wanna hear
then you’ll be telling me that i’m the only one you need
but i know what you’re after, and you know what i’m after
now we know what we’re after
this time will be better than the last time
so slow, so slow
and you know i keep you with me everywhere i go
but i’ll be back, i’ll be back again and make it better
make it better, i’ll be back again to make it better

girl if we could do it all again
then i promise you that i would, i would
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right
this time i would do it right, and this time i would do it right.

Ryan Leslie - Glory Lyrics

Ryan Leslie - Glory Lyrics

listen, they tried to put me in a box, the urban dude,
i miss the festivals, ..
they never really understood what i was trying to do,
and had me feeling… kinda blue!
i flipped the switches and put the rock star in my show,
went overseas and had ‘em …
they’re looking funny i was bad with a bad with a black band
eating everybody in the game….!
the only issue is not a game,
i’ve got these kids looking at me, saying what a shame!
he’s so underrated, he should have solved more
should have had a number one record with his own…
look at his life show, look how we touch ‘em keys,
look at ‘em girls scream when he fall to his knees!
look how we boys… when he tell a story,
i guess i had to spill my guts so i could get my glory!

listen!
have you ever seen such determination?
despite all, i’m still a theme for the adulation.
everything i ever wrote i did it form the heart
never had a top ten but you still respect my art.
i’m in the club and they still send me free bottles,
they still push that chief out far with a super model.
it’s my reality, this ain’t no show, brother
go check my girl on the february vogue cover!
catch me ripping through the city in that silver…
screaming oh, that’s fine, leslie here, they know it’s me!
i’m not ashamed at all, in fact i love my story,
no matter what it takes i wanna keep my glory!

sh-t!
the glory, give it to me!
oh, oh! (x2)

you asked me why i’m rapping,
well i give you the reason,
the same reason you’re hating when you should be believing!
it’s in your heart to hate; it’s in my heart to win,
so yeah, i’m rapping now, let the hating begin!
i’ll write my own records, write my own checks,
wonder which will… which city i’m calling home next!
one thing i know for sure, one thing is mandatory,
i owe it all to god, i give it all to glory!

sh-t!
the glory, give it to me!
oh, oh! (x2)
i’mma get my glory,
give it to me! (x2)

Ryan Leslie - Joan Of Arc Lyrics

Ryan Leslie - Joan Of Arc Lyrics

i wake up to detect messages in my email
this what i get for messin’ wit pretty females
it’s a crazy life – yeah it’s a mad world
where good dudes will betray you over a bad girl

and bad girls’ll take advantage of good dudes
smear your name in the press and call it good news
oh he hot now? oh he blowin’ up?
call the cops – restraining order for showin’ up

if i was you i’d be seeing if i was ok
we had a problem you didn’t call me the whole day
your girlfriend picked up the phone and hung up on me
who is she to do that – she don’t even know me

f* the “he say she say”,
the ‘blame game’ blasting kanye on the freeway
i called my mother up for advice she said son, you should hold your heart
girls play the victim so well – joan of arc
chorus

i took a chance on romance, i loved you
and now that it burns, still i yearn to touch you
and the question is
who gon’ love you like i love you, baby
who gon’ love you like i love you, now?
who gon’ love you like i love you, baby, baby
verse 2

listen, i know you must be mad look how you lost it
you should work it out wit me tho i’m the one who caused it
i should’ve cleaned the skeletons from my closet
drivin’ to my apocalypse with 400 horses

drop dead gorgeous – unfair advantage
you deserve an emmy award for all your antics
caught up in a battle of curse word semantics
tryna find our way back home from atlantis

you had your father call me – zero empathy
reading about your new first date like it’s meant for me
tryna stay focused on winnin’ – yeah, hold my course
meanwhile you infiltrated my heart – a trojan horse

they say in love and war – all’s fair
but when you break up and go out – yeah, they all stare
obfuscating the real reason we’ve grown apart
you played the victim so well – joan of arc
chorus
verse 3

tryna figure out what the past meant
and since when a birthday gift is harassment
a rose gold bracelet nothing subliminal
you called your lawyer up said my actions were criminal

and now as i’m sittin with a pad in this motherf*ckin holding cell
i’m thinking how could you do this to me? you cold as hell
a young emperor exiled – bonaparte
everything i fought for, lost – joan of arc
chorus
