[Kanye West]
2
It's like I wanna spit something written
3
But keep forgetting
4
So I guess it's from the heart from the start
5
Played my part
6
Seemed like I just wasn't reaching the charts
7
5000 hours, rewritting Power
8
Over and over
9
Some nights sober, some nights gone off the Henny as usual
10
So unusual to be in this position
11
Everything I say everybody tryna diss 'em
12
Everybody playin him, truth be told
13
The last -gga ever let the truth be told
14
And oh Mos Def ran to my home
15
And said they gon have yo ass gone
16
Light jokes, you keep playin with them white folks
17
Cant even take the piss
18
They gon' test your urine
19
Cut all the sponsorship for the touring!
20
"Where the Dark Fantasy tour at Ye?"
21
I dont know, ask, ask Hennesy (thats Coca-Cola)
22
Say 'he aint clean enough'
23
but rappers aint mean enough?
24
Enough lashes like I aint seen enough
25
On the real, this is like the Neo-Emmitt Till
26
Whistling- Get yo f-cking ass killed
27
Lets keep this shit real!
28
Now who the realest
29
Everybody feel this
30
And everyday of my life, people try to tell me that I hate the whites
31
Cuz I said wats right
32
I go to sleep and deal wit it every night
33
And wake up every morning
34
And walk to the liquor store or coffee store shop on the Mersa wats worser?
35
Its no verse that would reverse the-
36
In print or in cursive
37
They curse the name, or maybe call me Kane
38
Lets have a 'toast for the douche bags'
39
Then people wanna talk about me on blogs because I like clothes like look at this fag
40
Thats what I have to deal wit real shit
41
Yall dont even understand, what it take to be a real man
42
A black man interested in art, speaking from the heart and playin' my part
43
All this illuminati talk, like my first hit single wasnt 'Jesus Walks'
44
For many years, these aint rhymes these is muthaf-cking tears
45
They playin' wit -ggas careers
46
Felt like I'm the only real -gga here
47
From my last breath
48
They kicked me out the awards and my -gga Diddy left
49
Then they even set Beyonce up to give the Award back
50
Didn't even know I afford that
51
And she rode the wave as I rode the slave
52
As I felt like a slave as they try to put my shit up in the grave
53
N-gga behave, -gga behave
54
Be the first ?
55
I bet ya no one else would ever say nuttin' and stay frontin'
56
And get up and just perform, Shit is enormous
57
Shout out to Steve Stout, you know what this shit 'bout
58
My whole family, now I'm scared of Grammy's
59
Cause everybody know that Dark Fantasy was the highest rated album in history
60
So I just avoided it, not to be exploited, not to be recorded
61
Cause I cannot afford it, I cannot afford more shit to be in more debt
62
Uh, it's too real for these -ggas, you feel for these -ggas
63
How I feel to be a black man, you say something wrong, nobody understand
64
Money, power, black, opinion, pick two, they would kill ya.
65
[Mos Def]
66
No matter what goes on
67
They may not agree, they may not understand
68
But God got a plan, to put the mic in my hand
69
and his hand and that hand
70
And ideas, and all of theres
71
And the end, everybody up in here, in this atmosphere
72
So make it clear, live long and prosper
73
Much success, even if you wish me the opposite
74
? I stay on my job
75
Try to pray to keep my heart from going harm
76
And I aint perfect, you know that from old me
77
My life is real even when I'm in the movies
78
I'm on the ave, I'm in the cave
79
I buried my Grandmother on Thursday, two weeks ago
80
My life is real, as it ever been
81
To all my friends and even foes
82
Each and every one of those, let em know
83
I shine a globe, even in the dark, stay smart
84
Stay sharp, as a harp played by a musician in this position
85
Feel blessed to make the whole World listen
86
And just glisten without even trying
87
Even when I die, I wont stay dead
88
And its straight off the head, and its straight out the lungs
89
Looking fly, fresh, old man, so young
90
And I'm straight from the slums
91
And never been above so the ba-bum-ba-bum-bum-pum-pum...
92
This thing ups, let us all give some
93
Number one yo, I'm number none, no comparision
94
And make the whole world aware of it
95
Brooklyn in the building we take care of it
96
Peace out to all the Sagittarius
97
And happy birthday Pisces and Aries too
98
And this go out to all area crew
99
And if you come from the 78 scene and you just like me
100
Say it over ?
101
From the present, and the past and the future and beyond
102
Me and Lupe and Kanye we play the song and get it on
