First you love me and I let you in Made me feel like I was born again You empowered me, you made me strong Built me up, and I could do no wrong I let down my guard I fell into your arms Forgot who I was I didn’t hear the alarms Now I’m down on my knees Alone in the dark I was blind to your game You fired a shot in my heart PRE-CHORUS:
Took me to heaven, let me fall down Now that it’s over, I’m gonna carry on Lifted me up and watched me stumble After the heartache, I’m gonna carry on CHORUS:
Living for love, I’m living for love Not giving up I’m gonna carry on living for love I’m living for love, not gonna stop Love’s gonna lift me up I could get caught up in bitterness But I’m not dwelling on this crazy mess I found freedom in the ugly truth I deserve the best, and it’s not you You’ve broken my heart But you can’t break me down Not falling apart Once was lost, now I’m found Picked up my crown, put it back on my head I can forgive, but I will never forget
Take my sins and wash them away Teach me how to pray I’ve been stranded here in the dark Take these walls away I’ve been swimming in the ocean ‘til I almost drowned Give me something I can believe in Teach me how to pray PRE-CHORUS:
And we can do drugs, and we can smoke weed, and we can drink whiskey Yeah, we can get high, and we can get stoned And we can sniff glue, and we can do E And we can drop acid Forever be lost, with no way home CHORUS:
Yeah, we can run and we can hide But we won’t find the answers If you go down, then you’ll get help along the way But if you wanna save your soul, then we should travel all together And make the devil pray Oooh save my, oooh save my, oooh save my Devil’s here to fool ya Mother Mary, can’t you help me? ‘Cause I’ve gone astray All the angels that were around me have all flown away The ground beneath my feet’s getting warmer Lucifer is near Holding on, but I’m getting weaker Watch me disappear
Maybe it was all too much Too much for a man to take Everything’s bound to break sooner or later, sooner or later You’re all that I can trust Facing the darkest days Everyone ran away We’re gonna stay here We’re gonna stay here PRE-CHORUS:
Ah-ah-ah-ah I know you’re scared tonight Ah-ah-ah-ah I’ll never leave your side CHORUS:
When it all falls, when it all falls down I’ll be your fire when the lights go out When there’s no one, no one else around We’ll be two souls in a Ghosttown When the world gets cold, I’ll be your cover Let’s just hold onto each other When it all falls, when it all falls down We’ll be two souls in a Ghosttown Tell me how we got this far Every man for himself Everything’s gone to hell We gotta stay strong We’re gonna hold on This world has turned to dust All we’ve got left is love Might as well start with us Singing a new song, something to build on (PRE-CHORUS) (CHORUS)
(PRE-CHORUS) (PRE-CHORUS) (CHORUS)

NAS:
Madonna, life is so crazy You’ve been through a lot I’ll tell you stories sometimes, y’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 CHORUS:
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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) (x3) 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 knew I walked the borderline And when I strike a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind I justified my love, I made you say a little prayer Had me crucified, you know I had to take you there I opened up my heart I learned the power of good-bye I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (CHORUS) NAS:
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 flowin’ But I was scared the cops was gonna 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 ain’t 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 keep a man 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
(CHORUS) NAS:
Madonna on the track Nas in the back

I’ll light a candle here in the dark Making my way to your heart I’ll cast a spell that you can’t undo Till you wake up and you find that you love me too (x2) I’ll be the bride that is married to life You are the day, I am the night Weave you a blanket of silver and gold I’ll keep you warm, do as I’m told I need your strength, it will keep me from harm I’ll be your queen, safe in your arms Don’t want to get to the end of my days Saying I wasn’t amazed (CHORUS x2)

I lived my life like a masochist Hearing my father say “Told you so, told you so Why can’t you be like the other girls?” I said, “Oh no, that’s not me And I don’t think that it’ll ever be” Thought I belonged to a different tribe Walking alone, never satisfied, satisfied Tried to fit in but it wasn’t me I said, “Oh no, I want more That’s not what I’m looking for” CHORUS:
So I took the road less traveled by And I barely made it out alive Through the darkness somehow I survived Tough love, I knew it from the start Deep down in the depth of my rebel heart I spent some time as a narcissist Hearing the others say “Look at you, look at you!” Trying to be so provocative I said, “Oh yeah, that was me” All the things I did just to be seen Outgrown my past and I’ve shed my skin Letting it go and I’ll start again, start again Never look back, it’s a waste of time I said, “Oh yeah, this is me And I’m right here where I wanna be” I said, “Hell yeah, this is me Right where I’m supposed to be” (CHORUS x2)
