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 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) I came I saw I conquered (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) 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 ***, 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 your little prayer They had me crucified, you know I had to take it there I opened up my heart, I learned the power of good-bye I saw a ray of light, music saved my life (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 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 (Let's go) (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) I came I saw I conquered (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-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 Carolina's, pops from Natchez And QB's where I started flowing 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 And I know how to pick 'em, don't I?
