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