Chorus: John Legend]

They might say... but they don't know!
6
(They say, They say...)
7
They don't knowwwww
8
[Verse 1: Common]
9
They say a nigga lost his mind
10
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme
11
The thin line between love and hatred
12
I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life
13
They say life is what you make it
14
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it
15
As high as the stakes get when paper get low
16
I be tellin Derick, "Tell Kara get us a show"
17
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low
18
The richest man aint necessarily the nigga wit dough
19
They say "You ripped" "Wow..." Yea, that's what they say
20
My niggaz couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray
21
Paintin a day, wit focused crime, broads, and good wine
22
They say "Dope is sour so it's homework and hood crimes"
23
I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbye
24
They never could say - tell 'em, J
25
[Chorus]
26
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
27
Ahh... The sweet taste of victory
28
Go head and breath it in like antihistamine
29
I know they sayin "Damn, Yay snapped wit this beat!"
30
Fuck you expect? I've got a history
31
Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels!
32
Haters back down, gotta be that steel!
33
I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal!
34
Look how they did D'Angelo ask em how do it feel!
35
My best friends worry bout me
36
Cause they know when you famous/fame-ass
37
And you had made cash the media aims at us and you be up so high
38
if you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash
39
But God don't ever give me nothin I cant handle
40
So please don't ever give me records I cant sample
41
So I could vacate where it aint no channels
42
but it's quite ok for a gangsta to wear sandals
43
They say because of the fame and stardom
44
I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
45
I guess it's messin with my health then
46
And this verse so crazy when I finish
47
I'm just gon check myself in - again
48
[Chorus]
49
[Kanye West:] "Uh!" (hey!)
50
[Verse 3: Common]
51
They say "Dude think he righteous"
52
I write just to free minds, from Stoney to Rikers
53
Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike is
54
On my paper, whether its weed or Isis
55
They say "life is a game," so I play hard
56
Writin for my life cause I'm scared of a day job
57
They say "Sef kept the hood together"
58
I tell the young, "We can't play the hood forever"
59
Play my cards right, they say I went to left
60
They showed me strange love, like I was Mr. F
61
Played chess in this game of, pawns and knights
62
Now I claim "King" like Don, or Frank White
63
They say my life is comparable to Christ's
64
The way I sacrificed, and resurrected, twice
65
They say "The crochet pants and the sweater was wack"
66
Seen "The Corner", now they say "That nigga's back," uh...
67
[Chorus]
