[Intro: Rick Ross]
Uh, I love that smoke and that fellatio
Ah, she make my dreams come true
Shawty make my dreams come true, yo

[Verse 1: Rick Ross]
I seen her in the pretty car
I seen her pretty ponytail
When she pulled up to the crib
I seen her pretty pair of heels
So I hit her with my street game
No, I never ever say my name
I did hit her with the phone number
Looking in her eyes, recognize when I run up on you
Pull her shirt, once again, shawty, will this work?
I'm a different type of n***a coming from the dirt
Big truck, bruised up, sucking on her neck
Need a n***a to invest so I wrote a check
My dick rock hard, baby, seeing your success
Freaky n***a pull a yacht, out fucking on the deck
She said I ate her pussy, if I did then I forgot
Or was it a beautiful lie?

[Chorus: Rick Ross & Estelle]
Or was it a beautiful lie?
Or was it a beautiful lie?
Or was it a beautiful lie?
If I ate her pussy then I forgot
She told me a beautiful lie, uh (Lie)
Shawty told me a beautiful lie, uh (Beautiful lie)
Shawty told me a beautiful lie, uh (Beautiful lie)
And that was something she would do a lot
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
Shawty told me she was 22
I'm the perfect type of n***a just to run into
305, chillin' for a month or two
Five star condo to feel comfortable
Collins Ave, lookin' like the old Birdman
Or out in Durban, n***a let your fur hang
Bird gang, saw 20 of 'em e'ry day
I took her shopping, she was slacking on her purse game
Blowing 20 then I'm out
Not outta money, let the driver know just when to bounce
Stop by Tootsies for the crab cakes
Lap dance by a bitch who stay on Backpage
Walking through the door and everybody know her name
Dirty game, baby girl a familiar face
She say the way I make her feel, she wanna change her life
Or is it a beautiful lie? Uh

[Chorus: Rick Ross & Estelle]
She told me a beautiful lie, uh (Lie)
She told me a beautiful lie, uh (Beautiful lie)
She told me a beautiful lie (Beautiful lie)
N***a name in the sky 'til the day I die

[Bridge: Estelle & Wale]
You ain't gotta lie no more
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie, oh
You don't believe yourself
I know that you don't believe yourself
Beautiful lie, lie, -ie, -ie
Beautiful lie-ie-ie, -ie, -ie
We believe what we wanna believe
You ain't gotta lie no more
You ain't gotta lie
Lexicon legend, Ralph, mm
[Verse 3: Wale & Estelle]
Kick game ain't the same, what's your name baby?
Do me a favor, get your legs out the way and uh
I'm getting chains but I do not change
Or I got them whips, chains, everything Christ' Grey baby
Fifty shades of black, white and one night
Put an arch in your back, I'm running in your life
Right, when your man don't be right
Why have a Coke can when you can have some Dom P right?
Yeah, it's only right, double M is intact
No hyperbole either, it's gonna hurt when I'm working them thighs
Screaming, you thinking I'm doing permanent damage
And I leave it, you breathin' like you was running some track
Breath, breath, something to catch
Kitten catch your tongue, while you cum, you catching a cramp
Catch Z's, catch O's, catch 'em again
Then I wake up in the morning like, "Fuck am I at?"
Huh? Where the fuck am I at?
Hey, yeah, where the fuck am I at?
Ay, what the fuck did we do?
Shoulda told your friend to come through
Mmm, uh, where the fuck am I at? (Lie)
Where the fuck am I at? (Beautiful lie)
What the fuck did we do? (Beautiful lie)

[Outro: Estelle & Wale]
You ain't gotta lie no more
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie (Come)
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie (Beautiful lies to me)
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie (Lie, beautiful lie, ah)
Beautiful lies to me, it's alright, it's alright, yeah
Beautiful lies to me, ahh, ahh
Beautiful lies to me, to me, to me
You ain't gotta lie no more
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie
Beautiful lie, beautiful lie
