I need to recruit all the soldiers
All of God's soldiers We at war... We at war with society, racism, terrorism But most of all...we at war with ourselves (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me, with me, with me, with me, with me) You know what the mid-west is? Young and Restless Where restless (niggas) might snatch your necklace And next these (niggas) might jack your Lexus Somebody tell these (niggas) who Kanye West is. I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is. Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless Try to catch it ... it's kind of hard Getting choked by detectives yeah yeah now check the method. They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us Saying We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit what's the basis? We ain't going no where but got suits and cases. A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis. My momma used to say only Jesus can save us. Well momma I know I act a fool But I'll be gone til November. I got packs to move I hope. Chorus (2x) (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now. (Jesus walks) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong (Jesus walks with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long (I want Jesus) To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the scrimpers... (Jesus walks with them!) To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea... (Jesus walks with them!) Now hear ye hear ye wanna see thee more clearly I know He hear me when my feet get weary Cause we're the almost nearly extinct We rappers is role models we rap we don't think I ain't here to argue about his facial features Or here to convert atheists into believers I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus So here go my single dawg radio needs this They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus That means guns, sex, lies, videotape But if I talk bout God my record won't get played Huh? Well if this take away from my spins Which will probably take away from my ends Then I hope it take away from my sins And bring the day that I'm dreamin 'bout Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out... (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now. (Jesus walks) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong (Jesus walks with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long (I want Jesus) |

Featuring Lupe Fiasco
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Back when they thought pink polos would hurt the Roc, Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed. I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox. Now let's go. Take 'em back to the plan... Me and my mama hopped in the U-Haul van. Any pessimists I ain't talk to them, Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment. Let's take 'em back to the club. Least about an hour I would stand on line, I just wanted to dance. I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance. I just wanted to shine. Jay's favorite line: "Dog, in due time" Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am" A hip hop legend, I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven. I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Back when Gucci was the shit to rock, Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop, I would do anything to say "I got it," Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket. Before anybody wanted K-West beats, Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC. Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going on an aeroplane, And I don't know if I'll be back again. Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, But when she came to kick it, things became different. Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. I'm trying to write my wrongs, But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song. Now, I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the Third. Here like ear till I'm beer on the curb Peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's. But, before you say another word, I'm back on the block like a man on the street. I'm trying to stop Lion like I'm Mumm-Ra, But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat. Engarde, Touche Lupe cool as the unthawed, But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge. Come as correct as a porn star, In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car. So, I represent the first. Now, let me end my verse right where the horns are like I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky We back at home, baby Sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high Sky, Sky high I'm, I'm sky high Yeah! Keep it rollin' Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home! |

Wake up, Mr. West!
Kanye West Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah. And I heard 'em say Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today From the Chi, Like Tim, it's a Hardaway Till this is in the name of love, like Robert say Before you ask me to go get a job today, Can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage? And I know the government administer aids, So I guess we just pray like the minister say Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cause Things we seein' on the screen not ours But these niggas from the hood, so these dreams not far Where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars But they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it, uh. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way. Kanye West They say people in your life for seasons And anything that happen is for a reason And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin' And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin' In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him. It's alive, I feel him breathin' Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin' And put them lottery tickets just to tease us My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down, So now my little cousin smokin' them cigarettes now His job try to claim that he too niggerish now Is it cause his skin blacker than licorice now? I can't figure it out, sick of it now. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way. With every worthless word we get more far away And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest, baby It hurts, but it may be the only way. |

I need to recruit all the soldiers
All of God's soldiers We at war... We at war with society, racism, terrorism But most of all...we at war with ourselves (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me, with me, with me, with me, with me) You know what the mid-west is? Young and Restless Where restless (niggas) might snatch your necklace And next these (niggas) might jack your Lexus Somebody tell these (niggas) who Kanye West is. I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is. Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless Try to catch it ... it's kind of hard Getting choked by detectives yeah yeah now check the method. They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us Saying We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit what's the basis? We ain't going no where but got suits and cases. A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis. My momma used to say only Jesus can save us. Well momma I know I act a fool But I'll be gone til November. I got packs to move I hope. Chorus (2x) (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now. (Jesus walks) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong (Jesus walks with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long (I want Jesus) To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the scrimpers... (Jesus walks with them!) To the victims of welfare feel we living in hell here, hell yea... (Jesus walks with them!) Now hear ye hear ye wanna see thee more clearly I know He hear me when my feet get weary Cause we're the almost nearly extinct We rappers is role models we rap we don't think I ain't here to argue about his facial features Or here to convert atheists into believers I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers The way Kathy Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus So here go my single dawg radio needs this They said you can rap about anything except for Jesus That means guns, sex, lies, videotape But if I talk bout God my record won't get played Huh? Well if this take away from my spins Which will probably take away from my ends Then I hope it take away from my sins And bring the day that I'm dreamin 'bout Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out... (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now. (Jesus walks) And I don't think there's nothing I can do to right my wrong (Jesus walks with me) I wanna talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long (I want Jesus) |

Kanye West Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah. And I heard 'em say Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today From the Chi, Like Tim, it's a Hardaway Till this is in the name of love, like Robert say Before you ask me to go get a job today, Can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage? And I know the government administer aids, So I guess we just pray like the minister say Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cause Things we seein' on the screen not ours But these niggas from the hood, so these dreams not far Where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars But they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it, uh. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way. Kanye West They say people in your life for seasons And anything that happen is for a reason And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin' And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin' In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him. It's alive, I feel him breathin' Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin' And put them lottery tickets just to tease us My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down, So now my little cousin smokin' them cigarettes now His job try to claim that he too niggerish now Is it cause his skin blacker than licorice now? I can't figure it out, sick of it now. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way.

Featuring Lupe Fiasco
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Back when they thought pink polos would hurt the Roc, Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed. I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox. Now let's go. Take 'em back to the plan... Me and my mama hopped in the U-Haul van. Any pessimists I ain't talk to them, Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment. Let's take 'em back to the club. Least about an hour I would stand on line, I just wanted to dance. I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance. I just wanted to shine. Jay's favorite line: "Dog, in due time" Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am" A hip hop legend, I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven. I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Back when Gucci was the shit to rock, Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop, I would do anything to say "I got it," Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket. Before anybody wanted K-West beats, Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC. Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going on an aeroplane, And I don't know if I'll be back again. Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, But when she came to kick it, things became different. Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. I'm trying to write my wrongs, But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song. Now, I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the Third. Here like ear till I'm beer on the curb Peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's. But, before you say another word, I'm back on the block like a man on the street. I'm trying to stop Lion like I'm Mumm-Ra, But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat. Engarde, Touche Lupe cool as the unthawed, But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge. Come as correct as a porn star, In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car. So, I represent the first. Now, let me end my verse right where the horns are like I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky We back at home, baby Sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high Sky, Sky high I'm, I'm sky high Yeah! Keep it rollin' Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home! |

The drama, people suing me, I'm on T.V. talking like it's just you and me. I'm just saying how I feel man, I ain't one of the Cosby's I ain't go to the Hill man I guess the money should've changed him, I guess I should've forgot where I came from. La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right la, la, la, la then you cant tell me nothing right Excuse Me, is you saying something? Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing You can't tell me nothing Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing. Let up the suicide doors. This is my life homey, you decide yours. I know that Jesus died for us, But I couldn't tell you who decide wars. So I parallel double parked that muthafucker sideways Old folks talking bout back in my day But homey this is my day. Class started 2 hours ago, oh am I late? You know I already graduated And you can live through anything if Magic made it. They say I talk with so much emphasis, They're so sensative.

J A Y, and 'Ye so shy Now he won't even step to his idol to say hi Standin' there like a mime and let the chance pass by, Back of my mind, "he could change your life" With all these beats I did, at least let him hear At least you can brag to your friends back at the gig But he got me out my mama' crib Then he helped me get my mama a crib Big brother was B.I.G.'s brother Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother Who was hip hop brother, who was No I.D.' friend No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin, begin Let the story begin, the story begin If you feel the way I feel, why don't you wave your hands? Fresh off the plane, I'm off the base line Nothin' handed out, I'm 'bout to take mine 'Round the same time of that 'Blueprint 1' And these beats in my pocket was that blueprint for him I played my little songs in that old back room, He'd bop his head and say, "Damn, oh, that's you?" But by the 'Black Album', I was blackin' out Partyin' S.O.B.s and we had packed the crowd Big brother got a show up in Madison Square And I'm like, "Yeah, yeah, we gon' be there!" But not only did I not get a chance to spit it Carlene told me I could buy two tickets I guess big brother was thinkin' a little different And kept little brother at bay, at a distance But everything that I felt was more bogus Only made me more focused, only wrote more potent Only thing I wanna know is why I get looked over I guess I'll understand when I get more older Big brother saw me at the bottom of the totem Now I'm on the top and everybody on the scrotum My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother Used to be Dame and Biggs' brother, Who was hip hop brother, who was No I.D.' friend No I.D., my mentor, now let the story begin, begin Let the story begin, begin If you feel the way I feel, why won't you wave your hands?

And we know, New Jack City gotta keep my brother, But to be number one, I'ma beat my brother. On that 'Diamonds' remix, I swore I'd spaz Then my big brother came through and kicked my ass Sibling rivalry only I could see It was the pride in me that was drivin' me At the Grammys I said, "I inspired me" But my big brother who I always tried to be When I kicked the flow, it was like pick and roll 'Cause even if he gave me the ROC, it's give and go I guess being styled was more of a slam dunk And my shit was more like a finger roll But I had them singles, though And them hoes at the show gonna mingle yo, hey, ya'll know I told Jay I did a song with Coldplay Next thing I know, he got a song with Coldplay Back of my mind, I'm like "Damn, no way" Translate Espanol, "No way, Jose" Then I went and told Jay Brown Should have known that was gonna come back around Should have talked to you like a man, should have told you first But I told somebody else and that's what made shit worse My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother So here's a few words from your kid brother If you admire somebody, you should go ahead and tell 'em People never get the flowers while they can still smell 'em A idol in my eyes, god of the game Heart of the city, Roc-A-Fella chain Never be the same, never be another number one Young Hov', also my big brother My big brother was B.I.G.'s brother Used to Be Dame and Biggs' brother Who was hip hop brother, who was No I.D.' friend No I.D., my mentor, and that's where the story ends Don't kill this shit |

Don't ever fix your lips like collagen To say something when you gon' end up apologin'. Let me know if it's a problem man, Alright man, holla then. La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right la, la, la, la then you can't tell me nothing right Excuse Me, is you saying something? Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing You can't tell me nothing Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing. Let the champagne splash, let that man get cash, Let that man get past. You don't need a stop to get gas, If he can move through the rumors, he can drive off the fumes cause How he move in a room full of nos? How he stay faithful in a room full of hoes? Must be the pharaohs, he in tune with his soul, So when he buried in a tomb full of gold. Treasure. What's you pleasure? Life is a, uh, depending how you dress her. So if the devil wear Prada, Adam Eve wear Nada, I'm in between, but way more fresher. With way less effort, 'cause when you try hard, That's when you die hard. Ya homies looking like "Why God?" When they reminisce over you, my god. La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right la, la, la, la then you cant tell me nothing right Excuse Me, is you saying something? Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing You can't tell me nothing Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing. |

Diamonds are forever
They won't leave in the night I've no fear that they might Desert me Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... Close your eyes and imagine, feel the magic Vegas on acid, Seen through Yves St. Laurent glasses And I've realized that I've arrived, cuz It take more than a magazine to kill my Vibrate does he write his own rhymes, so sort of I think 'em That mean I forgot better shit than you ever thought up Damn, is he really that caught up? I ask if you talkin' bout classics, do my name get brought up? I remember I couldn't afford a Ford Escort or even a four-track recorder so its only right that I let the top drop on a drop-top Porsche - its for yourself that's important If you're a stripper named Porscha and you get tips from many men Then your fat friend her nickname is Minivan Excuse me, That's just the Henny, man, I smoke, I drink, I'm supposed to stop I can't because Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... I was sick about awards Couldn't nobody cure me Only playa that got robbed but kept all his jewelry Alicia Keys tried to talk some sense to them 30 minutes later seems there's no convincing them What more could you ask for? The international asshole Who complains about what he is owed? And throw a tantrum like he is three years old You gotta love it though somebody still speaks from his soul And wouldn't change by the change, or the game, or the fame, When he came, in the game, he made his own lane Now all I need is y'all to pronounce my name Its Kanye - But some of my plaques - they still say Kane Got family in the D, Kin-folk from Motown Back in the Chi - them folks ain't from Motown Life movin' too fast I need to slow down Girl ain't give me no ass, ya need to go down Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) My father Ben said I need Jesus So he took me to church and let the water wash over my ceaser Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) The preacher said we need leaders Right then my body got still like a paraplegic You know who you can call you gotta best believe it The Roc stand tall and you would never believe it Take your diamonds and throw 'em up like you bulimic Yea the beat cold but the flow is anemic After debris settles and the dust get swept off Big K pick up where young Hov left off Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off I dropped my new shit, it sound like the best of A&R's lookin' like "Pssh we messed up" Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up Bottle after bottle 'till we got messed up In the studio, where really though, yea he next up People askin' me if I'm gon' give my chain back That'll be the same day I give the game back You know the next question dog "Yo, where Dame at?" This track the Indian dance to bring our reign back "What's up with you and Jay, man, are y'all ok man?" They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen R-r-r-right here stands a-man With the power to make a diamond with his bare hands... Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) The Roc is still alive every time I rhyme. Forever ever? Forever ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever? Ever, ever?...... Diamonds are forever (forever, forever) Diamonds are forever (forever, forever, forever) |

Featuring Lupe Fiasco
I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Back when they thought pink polos would hurt the Roc, Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed. I felt like Bad Boy's street team, I couldn't work the Lox. Now let's go. Take 'em back to the plan... Me and my mama hopped in the U-Haul van. Any pessimists I ain't talk to them, Plus, I ain't have no phone in my apartment. Let's take 'em back to the club. Least about an hour I would stand on line, I just wanted to dance. I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance. I just wanted to shine. Jay's favorite line: "Dog, in due time" Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am" A hip hop legend, I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven. I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day I die, I'm a touch the sky Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Now let's take 'em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world Back when Gucci was the shit to rock, Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop, I would do anything to say "I got it," Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket. Before anybody wanted K-West beats, Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC. Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, Like "Man, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I'm going on an aeroplane, And I don't know if I'll be back again. Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, But when she came to kick it, things became different. Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. I couldn't keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. I'm trying to write my wrongs, But it's funny them same wrongs helped me write this song. Now, I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the Third. Here like ear till I'm beer on the curb Peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup Bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's. But, before you say another word, I'm back on the block like a man on the street. I'm trying to stop Lion like I'm Mumm-Ra, But I'm not lying when I'm laying on the beat. Engarde, Touche Lupe cool as the unthawed, But I still feel as possessed as a gun charge. Come as correct as a porn star, In a fresh pair of steps and my best foreign car. So, I represent the first. Now, let me end my verse right where the horns are like I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky You gonna touch the sky baby girl! Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly 'Fore the day you die, You gonna touch the sky We back at home, baby Sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high I'm, I'm sky high Sky, Sky high I'm, I'm sky high Yeah! Keep it rollin' Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home! |

Wake up, Mr. West!
Kanye West Uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh, yeah. And I heard 'em say Nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today From the Chi, Like Tim, it's a Hardaway Till this is in the name of love, like Robert say Before you ask me to go get a job today, Can I at least get a raise on the minimum wage? And I know the government administer aids, So I guess we just pray like the minister say Abu Akhbar be throwin' some hot cause Things we seein' on the screen not ours But these niggas from the hood, so these dreams not far Where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars But they can't cop cars without seein' cop cars I guess they want us all behind bars, I know it, uh. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way. Kanye West They say people in your life for seasons And anything that happen is for a reason And niggas gun-clappin' and keep to squeezin' And gran' keep prayin' and keep believin' In Jesus, and one day that she'll see him. It's alive, I feel him breathin' Claimin' money is the key, so keep on dreamin' And put them lottery tickets just to tease us My Aunt Pam can't put them cigarettes down, So now my little cousin smokin' them cigarettes now His job try to claim that he too niggerish now Is it cause his skin blacker than licorice now? I can't figure it out, sick of it now. And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow, today And I heard 'em say, nothin's ever promised tomorrow today But we'll find a way. Adam Levine And nothin's ever promised tomorrow today And nothin' lasts forever, but be honest baby It hurts, but it may be the only way.

Young and Restless Where restless (niggas) might snatch your necklace And next these (niggas) might jack your Lexus Somebody tell these (niggas) who Kanye West is. I walk through the valley where the shadow of death is. Top floor of the view alone will leave you breathless Try to catch it ... it's kind of hard Getting choked by detectives yeah yeah now check the method. They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us Saying We eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast Huh? Y'all eat pieces of shit what's the basis? We ain't going no where but got suits and cases. A trunk full of coke, rental car from Avis. My momma used to say only Jesus can save us. Well momma I know I act a fool But I'll be gone til November. I got packs to move I hope. Chorus (2x) (Jesus walks) God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down (Jesus walks with me) The only thing that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now.

Yeah, breathe in, breathe out If ya iced up, pull ya sleeves out Push a big truck, pull ya keys out Girls go wild and pull ya deez out Breathe in, breathe out Let them hoes fight, pull her weave out If a nigga act up, pull a Desert Eag' out When I pull the piece out niggas like "Peace out!" [Verse 1: Kanye West] Golly, more of that bullshit ice rap I got to 'pologize to Mos and Kweli (probably) But is it cool to rap about gold If I told the world I copped it from Ghana and Mali? (Mali!) First nigga with a Benz and a backpack Ice chain, Cardi lens, and a knapsack Always said if I rapped I'd say somethin' significant But now I'm rappin' 'bout money, hoes, and rims again And it's still about the Benjamins Big faced hundreds and whatever other synonyms Strippers named Cinnamon More chips than Pentium What'cha gon' buy next? Whatever new trend it is I'm tryin' to spend my stacks And I'm so broke I look back like "Damn, was I on crack?" I mean twelve platinum chains, was I on that? What the hell was wrong with me dog? Sing along with my y'all [Hook: Ludacris] Yeah, breathe in, breathe out If ya iced up, pull ya sleeves out Push a big truck, pull ya keys out Girls go wild and pull ya deez out Breathe in, breathe out Let them hoes fight, pull her weave out If a nigga act up, pull a Desert Eag' out When I pull the piece out niggas like "Peace out!" [Verse 2: Kanye West] Now even though I went to college and dropped out of school quick I always had a Ph.D.: a Pretty Huge Dick Ladies tired of gettin' ripped off by guys like this And givin' head is like 'oh well, the shoes and the toothpick' Well, I'm in the club for a limited time Act now and get some action for free-99 Later on I might charge for menage Heard her man was the boss of the floss But she still want to toss me the drawers And it ain't gon' cost me because she my caddy Cuz she grabbed my golf balls in the club And I'm still actin' calm than a mug She asked "Can you drive me and the hunnies to where my Altima was?" While we drive she tellin' me 'bout problems with her man Baby I fully understand Let me help you with a plan While he trickin' off, don't get no rich nigga Give ME some head, that'll really piss him off [inhales] [Hook: Ludacris] Yeah, breathe in, breathe out If ya iced up, pull ya sleeves out Push a big truck, pull ya keys out Girls go wild and pull ya deez out Breathe in, breathe out Let them hoes fight, pull her weave out If a nigga act up, pull a Desert Eag' out When I pull a piece out niggas like "Peace out!" [Verse 3: Kanye West] I blow past low class niggas with no cash In the fo' dash six, bitch you can go ask So when I go fast popo just laugh Right until I run out of gas or 'til I go crash Whatever comes first I'm prepared for the worst Whatever comes second I'll be there with my weapon Pullin' up in the Lexuses, one on both hand So I guess them GSes was ambidextrous Coulda sworn her breasteses was sendin' me messages "K I need a free hand mammogram I got weed, drink, and a Handicam All of which is legal in Amsterdam" So say my name like Candyman And I'ma come and fix you up like the handyman But if you don't need a fix, girl you gotta leave You can't take that all at one time ya gotta breathe [Hook: Ludacris] Yeah, breathe in, breathe out If ya iced up, pull ya sleeves out Push a big truck, pull ya keys out Girls go wild and pull ya deez out Breathe in, breathe out Let them hoes fight, pull her weave out If a nigga act up, pull a Desert Eag' out When I pull a piece out niggas like "Peace out!"
