I'm no longer confused but don't tell anybody. I'm about to break the rules but don't tell anybody. I got something better than school but don't tell anybody. My daddy would kill me so don't tell anybody. He wants me to get a good ass job just like everybody. He ain't walked in my shoes, I'm just not everybody.

[Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all... It All Falls Down (And When it All Falls Down Who You Gonna Call Now?) Im Tellin You All... It All Falls Down (Cmon Cmon And When It Falls Down)
[Kanye West] Man I promise I'm so self conscious That's why you always see me with a least one of my watches Rollies and pasha's done drove me crazy I can't even pronounce nothing, yo pass that versace Then I spent $400 bucks on this Just to be like nigga you ain't up on this And I can't even go to the grocery store With out some ones that are clean and a shirt with a team It seems we living the American Dream But the people highest up got the lowest self esteem The prettiest people do the ugliest things For the road to the riches and the diamond rings We shine because they hate us floss because they degrade us We trying to buy back our 40 acres And for that paper look how low we'll stoop Even if you in a benz you still a nigga in a coup
[Chorus]
[Kanye West] I say fuck the police thats how I treat them We buy our way out of jail but we can't buy freedom We buy a lot of clothes but we don't really need them Things we buy to cover up whats inside Cuz they made us hate ourself and love they wealth Thats why shorty's holla where the ballas at? Drug dealer's buy Jordan's crackhead buy crack And the white man get paid off of all of that But I ain't even gonna act holier than thou Cause fuck it I went to Jacob with 25 thou Before I had a house and I'll do it again Cause I wanna be on 106 and park pushing a Benz I wanna act ballerific like its all terrific I got a couple of past due bills I won't get specific I got a problem with spending before I get it We all self conscious, I'm just the first to admit it
[Syleena Johnson] Oh when it all... It All Falls Down (And When it All Falls Down Who You Gonna Call Now?) Im Tellin You All .. It All Falls Down (Cmon Cmon And When It Falls Down)
Oh .... Yah ... Watcha Gonna Do When It All Falls Down?

(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)
When it comes to being true, at least true to me (That's right, it's what I do, c'mon) One thing I found (Uh-huh), one thing I found Oh no you'll never let me down, (No I never let you down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down)
[Jay-Z] Yo, yo first I snatched the streets, then I snatched the charts First I had they ear, now I have they heart Rappers came and went I've been here from the start I seen them put it together Watch them take it apart See the rovers roll up with ribbons I see them re poed, re sold then re driven So when I reload, he holds number one positions When you hot, I'm hot And when your feet cold, mines are sizzlin It's plain to see Niggas can't fuck wit me Cuz ima be that nigga for life This is not an image This is God given This is hard livin Mixed wit Cristal sippin It's the most consistent, Hov Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and Nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggas visiting It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordon of rap I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy

[Kanye West] Get up I get down for my grandfather who took my momma Made her sit in that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sitins And with that in my blood I was born to be different Now niggas can't make it to ballots to chose leadership But we can make it to Jacobs or to the dealership That's why I hear new music and I just don't be feelin it Racism still alive, they just be concealin it But I know they don't want me in the damn club They even make me show ID to get up inta Sam's Club I did deal dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed That why I've baptized these 3 or 4 times But in the land where niggas praise Yukons and getting paid Its gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your way Nothin sad as that day my girl father passed away So I promise to Mr. Raney, I'm gonna marry your daughter And you know I gotta thank you for they way that she was brought up And I know that you were smiling when you seen the car I bought her And you sent tears from heaven when you seen my car get balled up, but I can't complain what the accident did to my left eye Cuz look what an accident did to Left Eye First Aaliyah, now Romeo must die I know I got angels watchin me from the other side
When it comes to being true, at least true to me One thing I found, one thing I found Oh no you'll never let me down, Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down)
[J.Ivy] We're all here for a reason on a particular path You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental That's why I'm instrumental Vibrations is what I'm into Yeah, I need my loot by rent day But that ain't what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte I'm tryina "Give us us free" like Cinque I can't stop, that's why I'm hot Determination, dedication, motivation I'm talking to you, my many inspirations When I say it I can't, let you or self down If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest rift And you slipped off the side and clenched on to your life in my grip I would never, ever let you down And when these words are found Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love That's why my breath is felt by the deaf And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind I, too, dream in color and in rhyme So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth A touch of God rains out
[Kanye West] Take'em to church
When it comes to being true, at least true to me One thing I found, one thing I found Oh no you'll never let me down, Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down) Get up I get (down)

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!"

(In background) Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall For chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all Through the fire, through whatever come my way For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way... Right down to the wire, even through the fire

(In background) Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall For chance to be with you I'd gladly risk it all Through the fire, through whatever come my way For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all the way... Right down to the wire, even through the fire

This is family business And this is for the family that can't be with us And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in us That's why I spit it in my songs so sweet Like a photo of your granny's picture Now that you're gone it hit us Super hard on Thanksgiving and Christmas, this can't be right Yeah you heard the track I did man, this can't be life Somebody please say grace so I can save face And have a reason to cover my face I even made you a plate, soul food, know how Granny do it Monkey bread on the side, know how the family do it When I brought it why did the guard have to look all through it? As kids we used to laugh Who knew that life would move this fast? Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass? And look, you tell me you ain't did it, then you ain't did it And if you did, then that's family business

Rain, rain, rain go away Let the sun come out and all the children say Rain, rain, rain go away Let the sun come out and all the children say
I woke up early this mornin' with a new state of mind A creative way to rhyme without usin' knives and guns Keep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to God And keep your face to the risin' sun All my niggas from the Chi, that's my family dog And my niggas ain't my guys, they my family dog I feel like one day you'll understand me dog You can still love your man and be manly dog You ain't got to get heated at every house warmin' Sittin' here, grillin' people like George Foreman Why Uncle Ray and Aunt Sheila always performin'? The second she storm out, then he storm in Y'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunion And drink some wine like Communion And act like everything fine and if it isn't We ain't lettin' everybody in our family business

나스(Nas)의 <Poppa Was A Playa>가 그의 곡이었다니. 카니에 웨스트(Kanye West)의 홈페이지를 둘러보던 나는 연신 놀라움을 금치 못하고 있었다. '오, 다시 들어보니 약간 그런 느낌이 오는데?'라고 혼자 중얼거리며 그동안 소문만 무성했던 고스트-프로듀싱의 실체를 다시 한번 실감하던 순간이었다. 그러고 보니 카니에 웨스트가 정말 뜨긴 떴나보다. 선배 눈치 볼 것 없이 이제는 당당히 자신의 곡을 자신의 곡이라 말할 수 있을 뿐더러, 어릴 적 동경하던 시카고 프로듀서 노 아이디(No ID)의 아성을 훌쩍 뛰어넘어 커먼(Common)과도 합작을 하는 위치에 올랐기 때문이다. 몇 년 간의 무명 시절을 거쳐 제이-지(Jay-Z)의 클래식 앨범 [The Blueprint]를 통해 일약...
