[Intro: Beyoncé]

Who wants that perfect love story anyway, anyway?

Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché

Who wants that hero love that saves the day anyway?

Cliché, cliché, cliché, cliché

What about the bad guy goes good, yeah?

An innocent love I'm misunderstood, yeah?

Black hour glass, our glass

Toast to clichés in a dark past

Toast to clichés in a dark past

[Verse 1: Jay-Z]

Boy meets girl, girl perfect woman

Girl get to bustin' before the cops come running

Chuck the deuces, chugging D'USSÉ, ugh

Fuck what you say, boys in blue say

[Bridge: Beyoncé]

I don't care if we on the run

Baby, long as I'm next to you

(Uhuu)

And if loving you is a crime

Tell me why'd I bring out the best in you

Why

[Refrain: Beyoncé]

I hear sirens while we make love

Loud as hell, but they don't know

They're nowhere near us

I will hold your heart and your gun

I don't care if they come, no

I know it's crazy but

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

They can take me

Now that I found the places that you

Take me

Without you I got nothing to lose

[Verse 2: Jay-Z]

I'm an outlaw, got an outlaw chick

Bumping 2Pac, on my outlaw shit

Matching tats, this Ink don't come off

Even if rings come off, if things ring off

My nails get dirty, my past ain't pretty

My lady is, my Mercedes is

My baby momma harder than a lot of you niggas

Keep it 100, hit the lottery niggas

You ain't about that life ain't gotta lie to me, nigga

You know it's till the death, I hope it's obvi to niggas

Ugh

Cross the line, speak about mine

I'ma wave this TEC, I'm a geek about mine

Touch a nigga where his rib at, I click clack

Push your mothafuckin' wig back, I did that

I been wilding since a juvi, she was a good girl

'til she knew me, now she is in the drop bustin' Uey's, screaming

[Chorus: Beyoncé]

They can take me

Now that I found the places that you

Take me

Without you I got nothing to lose

[Verse 3: Jay-Z]

Deeper than words, beyond right

Die for your love, beyond life

Sweet as a Jesus piece, beyond ice

Blind me baby with your neon lights

Ray Bans on, police in sight

Oh, what a beautiful death, let's both wear white

If you go to heaven and they bring me to hell

Just sneak out and meet me, bring a box of L's

She fell in love with the bad guy, the bad guy

What you doing with them rap guys, them rap guys

They ain't see potential in me girl, but you see it

If it's me and you against the world, then so be it

[Bridge: Beyoncé]

I don't care if they give me life

I get all of my life from you

(Uhuu)

And if loving you had a price

I would pay my life for you

[Refrain: Beyoncé]

I hear sirens while we make love

Loud as hell, but they don't know

They're nowhere near us

I will hold your heart and your gun

I don't care if they come, no

I know it's crazy but

[Outro: Beyoncé]

I don't care I'll never give it up

Give it up, give it up, give it all away

No I swear I'll never give it up

Give it up, give it up, give it all away

I don't care I'll never give it up

Give it up, give it up, give it all away

No I swear I'll never give it up

Give it up, give it up, give it all away

(Without you I got nothing to lose)
