Kanye West - Late Registration (2005) by Kanye West (보컬) on maniadb.com

I knew I was gon' see you again
I knew I was gon' see you again.
I knew I was gon' see you again...
Where your goddamn book bag at?
Always carryin' that little book bag.
Nobody wanna see that goddamn 4th grader.
Sit your ass down.
Showin' up late again like he got somethin' else to do.
You don't got nothin' else to do.
You ain't doin' nothin' with your life.
Nothin' with your life.
What do you think this is?
You better look at me when I'm talkin' to you!
You think this shit's easy, don't you?
You think this is promised.
Ain't nothin' promised to you!
Look at my face, do I got a promised face?
You think I would promise you anything?
Kanye! Nigga! Is you snorin' in my class?
Wake up, Mr. West. Wake Up Mr. West!
Mr. West!

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 gotta testify
come up in the spot looking extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
come up in the spot looking extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma 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 locks/The LOX
Now let's go, take 'em back to the plan
Me and my momma hopped
in that U-Haul van
Any pessimists I ain't talk to them
Plus I ain't have no phone
in my apart-a-ment
Let's take 'em back to the club
Least about an hour I stand on line
I just wanted to dance,
I went to Jaboc an hour
after I got my advance, I just wanted to shine
Jay favorite line, dawg in due time
Now he look at me like damn dawg,
you what 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 lookin extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Gotta testify
come up in the spot lookin extra fly
'Fore the day I die, I'ma touch the sky
Now let's take them hi-ah-igh-igh-igh-ighhhh
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock
Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop
I'd 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 niggaz
that much better than me?"
Baby, I'm goin on an airplane
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
Culdn't keep it home,
thought I needed a Nia Long
I'm tryin to right my wrongs
But it's funny them same
wrongs helped me write this song, now
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
Yes, yes, yes, guess who's on third
Lupe steal like Lupin the 3rd
Here like air 'til I'm beer on the curb
Peachfuzz buzz but bid on the verge
Let's slow it down like we're on the syrup
Bottle shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth
But, before you say another word
I'm back on the block like
I'm layin on the street
I'm tryin to stop lion/lyin like I'm Mum-Ra
But I'm not lyin when I'm layin on the beat
En garde, or touche', Lupe cool as the under
But I still feel posessed as a gun charge
to come/cum as correct as a porn star
And a fresh pair steps in my best foreign car
Self, I represent the first
Now let me end my verse right
where the horns are
I gotta testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
You gon' touch the sky baby girl, testify
Come up in the spot lookin extra fly
'Fore the day you die, you gon' touch the sky
We take it 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, uh, sky high
I'm, I'm sky high
Yeah, keep it rollin, yeah
Feels good to be home baby,
feels good to be home

Jamie Foxx
She take my money - well, I'm in need
Yea she's a triflin' friend indeed
Oh, she's a gold digger - way over town
That digs on me

Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit' no broke niggas

Cutie the bomb, met her at a beauty salon
With a baby Louis Vuitton under her underarm
She said, I can tell you rock, I can tell by your charm
Far as girls you got a flock, I can tell by your charm
And your arm, but I'm lookin' for the one. Have you seen her?
My psychic told me she'll have an ass like Serena
Trina, Jeena-fah Lopez, four kids
An' I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Okay, get your kids, but then they got their friends
I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
We all went to din and then I had to pay
If you fuckin' with this girl then you better be paid
You know why? It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend said she used to fuck with Usher
I don't care what none of y'all say, I still love her

(She gives me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger - uh
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit' no broke niggas - uh
(She gives me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger - uh

Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head

18 years...18 years...
She got one of yo kids, got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin' child support for one of his kids
His baby mama car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV any given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was s'pose to buy your shorty TYCO with your money
She went to the doctor got lipo with your money
She walkin' around lookin' like Michael with your money
Should've got that insured, GEICO for your money (money...money)
If you ain't no punk
Holla "We want prenup" (We want prenup!)
Yeah! It's something that you need to have
'Cause when she leave your ass she gon' leave with half
18 years...18 years...
And on her 18th birthday, he found out it wasn't his

(She gives me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger - uh
(When I'm in need)
But she ain't messin' wit' no broke niggas - uh
(She gives me money)
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger - uh

Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down - uh
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head

Now I ain't sayin' you a gold digger, you got needs
You don't want a dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You got out to eat and he can't pay, ya'll can't leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But while ya'll washin', watch him
He gon' make it into a Benz out of that Datsun
He got that ambition, baby, look at his eyes
This week he moppin' floors, next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know this dude's ballin', but yeah that's nice
And they gon' keep callin' and tryin', but you stay right, girl
And when you get on, he leave yo' ass for a white girl.

(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head get down
(I gotta leave)
Get down girl, go 'head

Let me hear that back....

I brought you brothers here to start our own fraternity
Broke Phi Broke, we ain't got it.
Broke Phi Broke (we ain't got it)
No, we have no money
We are sharin' jeans.
If I go outside, I got the only clothing on.
How many cars do we own? (None!)
How many cars do we own? (None, sir!)
Should we let our woman go and be with the cat in the car?
Yes, we will.
Why? Because we can't afford gas. Say it with me!
(We can't afford no gas!)
Say it!
(We can't afford no gas!)
So we ain't drivin'!

Drive slow homey
Drive slow homey
Ya never know homey
might meet some hoes homey
Ya need to pump your
brakes and drive slow homey
My homey Mali used to stay
29th and May
One of my best friends
from back in the day
Down the street form Calumet
a school full of stones He
nicknamed me K Rock
so they'd leave me alone
Bulls jacket with his hat
broke way off
Walk around the
mall with his radio face off
Plus he had the
spinner from his
Dayton's in his hand
Keys in his hand
reason again to let you
know he's the man
Back when we rocked
Alesis he had
dreams of Caprice's
Drove by the
teachers even more
by police's How he
get that cash today
his father passed away
Left him with a little
somthin 16 he was stuntin
Al B Sure nigga with the
hair all wavy
Hit lakeshore girls
go all crazy
Hit the freeway go at
least bout 80
Boned so much that summer
even had him a baby
See back back then then
if you had a car
You were the Chi town
version of Baby
And I was just virgin a baby
One of the reasons
I looked up to him crazy
I used to love to
play my demo tape
when the system yanked
Felt like I was amost signed
when the shit got cracked
We'll take a Saturday and
just circle the mall
They had the
Lincoln's and Aurora's
we were hurting them all
And there was a lot of
flirting involved But dawg
fuck all that flirting
I'm trying get in some draws
So put me on with
these hoes homey's
He said don't
rush to get grown
drive slow homey
Drive slow homie
Drive slow
Ya never know homey
about these hoes homey
Ya need to pump your
breaks and drive slow homey
What It do
I'm posted up in the
parking lot my trunk wavin'
The candy gloss is
immaculate and
simply amazing
Them elbows poking wide
on that Candy lac
Trunnk open screens on
neons lit with pit relax
I'm on a mission for dime
piece's and sexy ladies
Allow me to introduce you
to my CL Mercedes
It's a star studded event
when I valet park
Open up my mouth and sunlight
illuminates the dark
You see them 4's crawlin
you see them screens fallin
The disco ball in my mouth
insinuates I'm ballin
I'm leanin on a switch
sittin crooked in my slab
But I could still catch
boopas if I drove a cab
A young Houston hard hitter
all about the scrilla
Riding some candy coated
crawlin like a caterlippar
I'm tippin on those 4's
I'm jamming off this screw
I'm lookin for them hoes
baby what it do
Drive slow homey
Turn your hazard lights on
when you see them hoes
Drive slow homey
If you ridin around the city
with nowhere to go
Drive slow homey
Live today cuz tomorrow
you never know
Ya never know homey
might meet some hoes homey
Ya need to pump your
brakes and drive slow homey
My cars like the movies
my cars like the crib
I got more TV's in
here then where I live
make no sense
but baby I'm the shit
And everything I flip
you know is something
I got the custom grill
I got the Brabus rims
I got the baller
genetics baby that's evident
You see a player flicking
and you ain't convinced
That you should and kiss it
just a little bit
I wear my custom kicks
I got my Jesus chain
My canaries is gleaming
though my angle wings
They see me hoes
acting like they seen a king
With that mean lean smoking
on the finest Cali green
My wood grain oak
I'm riding on vogues
My cylinder quiet
like tip toes
I sold O's
and this I know
When you see them hoes
little homey drive slow

Drive slow homey

Drive slow homey
Ya never know homey
might meet some hoes homey
Ya need to pump your
brakes and drive slow homey
Drive slow homey

I'm on my way home
They say home is where the hate is,
my dome is where fate is
I stroll where souls get lose like Vegas
Seen through the eyes of rebel glasses
Pray to God that my arms reach the masses
The young smoke grass in grassless jungles
Rubber band together in cashless bundles
We wear strugglin chains,
divided only hustle remains
Makin sense of it we hustle for change
Revolution ain't a game it's another name,
for life fightin
Someone to stay in they corner like Mike Tyson
Heights fightin for hits to heighten they hell
Don't he know he could only get as high as he fell
Show money becomes bail,
relationships become jail
Children are unhailed
I wish love was for sale,
Behold the Pale - Horse"
got me trapped like R. Kel',
I bail and it

Might not be such a bad idea if I never...
never went home again"
I'm on my way home"
I left three days ago,
but no one seems to know I'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
home is filled with pain and it
Might not be such a bad idea if I never...
never went home again

That's that
crack music nigga
That real black music nigga

How we stop the
black panthers

When our heroes and
heroines got hooked
on heroin
Crack raised the murder
rate in DC and Maryland
We invested in that

Merril Lynch
And we been hangin from
the same tree ever since
Sometimes I feel the music

So we cook it cut it

The fiends cop it

We ain't sure man
Put the CD on your toungue

That's that

They wanna pack us all
in a box like styrofoam
Who gave Saddam anthrax
George Bush got the answers
Back in the hood

type of chemical
Am and Hammer baking soda
Raised they own quota
Writin when our soldiers
ran for the stove cuz
Cuz dreams of being
Hova went from bein a
brokeman ta bein a dopeman
Ta bein a president

This dark dixon has become
America's addiction those
who ain't even black use it
we gonna keep back in up
this here crack music

I know it's past
visiting hours
But can I please
give her these flowers
The doctor dont wanna
take procedures
He claim my heart
can't take the anastesia
It'll send her body
into a seizure
The little thing by the
hospital bed it'll
stop beeping
Hey chick
im at a lost for words
What do you ay at this time
Remember when I was nine
Tell her everything
gone be fine
But i'd be lying
the family crying
They want her to live
and she trying
I'm argueing like what
kind of doctor can we fly in
You know the best medicine
go to people thats paid
If Magic Johnson got a
cure for AID's
And all the broke
muthafuckers past away
You tellin me if
my grandma was in the NBA
Right now she'd be ok
But since she was
just a secretary
Working for the church
For thirty five years
Things sposed to stop
right here
My grandfather tryin to
pull it together
he strong
Thats where I get my
confidence from
asked the nurse did you
do the research
She ask me
can you sign some t shirts
Bitch is you smokin reefer
You dont see that we hurt
But still
I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait
for a sunny day
through your eyes
Can't wait for the
clouds to break
They outside of the
emergancy room room
You can feel my heart
beat beat beat
If she gone pull through
We gone find out soon
But right now she
sleep sleep sleep
My mama say they say
she could pass away any day
Hey chick
what these doctors
know anyway
Let me see the X rays
I ain't no expert
I'm just hurt
Cousin Kim took off for work
Plus my Aunt
Shirley Aunt
Beverly Aunt
Claire and Aunt Jean
So many Aunties
we could have an Auntie team
Feel like Amerie
Its this one thing
When they said
that she made it
You see the eyes gleam
I think we at an
all time high
To get there we run
we fly we drive
Coz with my family we
know where home is
So instead of sending
flowers We the roses
I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait
for a sunny
seeing it through your eyes
Can't wait for the
clouds to break
Who brings the sunshine

I smile
The roses come to see me
And I can't wait
for a sunny day
through your eyes
Can't wait for the
clouds to break

I always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
me down me down
one day
they tried to bring me down

ALways knew that one day
they'd try to bring me down
way down
they'd try to bring me down
We gon' to mass today
we have to pray
Besides what the pastor say
I have to say
Since Pac passed away
Most you rappers don't even
deserve a track from me
You see
if you evern wanted to
ever be anything
There'd always be somebody
that shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters
that's the way it is
Hater niggaz marry hater
bitches and
have hater kids
But they gon'
have to take my life
'fore they take my drive
'Cause when I was
barely livin
that's what kept me alive
Just the thought
that maybe it could be
better than what we
at at this time
Make it out of this grind
'fore I'm out of my mind
And get some lee way on the
he say she say
You girl don't like me
how long has she been gay
Spanish girls say
No able ingle
And everybody want to run
to me for their SINGLE
It's funny how these wack
niggaz need my help
Wasn't around
when I couldn't feed myself
Dog If I was you I wouldn't
feel myself
Dog If I was you
I'd kill myself
Made a mill myself
and I'm still myself
And I'ma look in the mirror
if I need some help
Ask me from the heart
y'all all frontin
Everybody feel a way about K
but at least y'all
feel somethin
Why you come here
I bet it only it was

Diamonds are forever
They're

stimulate or tease me
They won't

Have no fear
that they might
Desert me
Diamonds are forever
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
If you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever
The ROC is still alive
Forever ever For ever ever

Ever ever ever ever

Good Morning

People lose hands

Little was known
of Sierra Leone
And how it connect
to the diamonds we own
When I speak of Diamonds
in this song
I ain't talkin bout the
ones that be glown Im talkin
bout Rocafella my home
my chain
These aint conflict diamonds
is they Jacob don't
lie to me mayne
See a part of me sayin'
keep shinin'
How
when I know of the blood
diamonds
Though it's thousands of
miles away
Sierra Leone
connect to what we
go through today
Over here its a drug
trade we die from drugs
Over there they die
from what we buy from drugs
The diamonds
the chains
the bracelets the charmses
I thought my
Jesus Piece was so harmless
'til I seen a picture of
a shorty armless
And here's the conflict
Its in a black person's soul
to rock that gold
Spend ya whole life
tryna get that ice
On a polar rugby it
look so nice
How could somethin' so wrong
make me feel so right
right
fore I beat myself up
like Ike
You could still throw ya
Rocafella diamond tonight
'cause
Diamonds are forever
Throw ya diamonds in the sky
If you feel the vibe
Diamonds are forever
The ROC is still alive
Everytime I rhyme
Forever ever For ever ever

Ever ever ever ever

People askin' me

That'll be the same day

The chain remians
the gang is in tact
The name is mine
I'll take blame for that
The pressure's on but guess
who ain't gon' crack
Pardon me
I had to laugh at that
How could you falter
when you're the rock of
gibralter
I had to get of the boat so
I could walk on water
This ain't no tour
order this is nothin to me
Difficult takes a day
impossible takes a week
I do this in my sleep
I sold Kilos of coke
I'm guessin' I can sell CD's
I'm not a buisness man
I'm a buisness man
Let me hand my buisness damy
Kanyeez you got me
Freeway and Foxy
YG' Teairra Mari
Petey watch me
Bleek could be one hit away
his whole career
As long as I'm alive
he's a millionaire
And even if I die he's
in my will somewhere
So he can just kick back
and chill somewhere
yeah
He don't even have
to write rhymes
Dynasty like my money last
three lifetimes
Shirley Bassey was in the
rear sayin exactly
What I was sayin practically
me whole carreer
The diamond is forever
I been mindin' this forever
Now the Louis Vuitton
Don's
timin' couldn't be better
People lined up to see the
Titanic sinkin'
Instead we rose from the
ash like a phoenix
If you waitin' for the end
the dynasty signed
And what seemed like forever
is a mighty long time
I'm young bitches

Goodnight

Really Doe
You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that yak, I wanna fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hpnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothin to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimpin' get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major.

Kanye West
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.

Feeling better than some head on a sunday afternoon
Better than a chick that say yes to soon
Until you have a daughter, that's what I call karma
And you pray to god she don't grow breasts too soon.
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
Niggas hats broke off that's how we grow up
Why else you think shorty's write rhymes just to blow up?
Get they first car and then IRS show up
He ain't never had shit but he had that nine
Nigga come through flickin' and he had that shine
Put two and two together in a little bad weather
Gon' be a whole family on that funeral line
Ask the reverend was the strip club cool if my tips help send a pretty girl through school
That's all I want like wino's want they good whiskey
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me.

Really Doe
You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and

Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
Turn nothin' to something now pimpin' that's a savior
Best things are green now pimpin' get your paper
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
Too low thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major.

Nas
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.
We major? Come on, homie, we major.

Nas
I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
First line, should it be about the hos or the ice?
Four-four's or black christ? Both flows would be nice
Rap about big paper or the black man's plight
At the studio console asked my man to the right
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
He said, Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic
Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel
Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed
Now I'm a free agent
And I'm thinking it's time
To build my very own Motown
Cuz rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s
And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed
I survived the livest niggas around
Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke.

Feeling better than I ever felt before today
Like better late than never is orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away.

Can I talk my shit again? Can I talk my shit again?
I can't believe I'm back up in this muh'fucker
I'ma be late though
I gotta figga out what I'm finna wear
Yeah
The Roc is definitely in the building
Good music's definitely in the building
I gotta say what's up to Tony Williams
On the vocals, he sings quite beautiful don't you agree? Don't you agree?
And John Brion on the keys right now and Warren Campbell on the keys right now
So they asked me, why you call it "Late Registration" 'ye?
Cause we taking these muh'fuckers back to school.
If you know this part right here, feel free to sing along.

Feeling better than I ever felt before today
If you're feeling good
Like better late than never it's orientation
It's orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
We want you to get used to this.

You can't do what we do, baby.
You can't do what we do, baby.
You can't do what we do, baby.

This was founded years ago
By broke slaves, years ago
Who did not have, years ago
By broke brothas in the 20s, years ago
Who did not have when we could not eat
Hmm, remember that?
Eating all of our cereal with forks because we wanted to save the milk, do you remember that? Hmm?
Do you remember all those Christmases when your Mama walked in the room and pretended she was the tree, huh?
Remember that?

My momma told me

Something to fall back on
You can profit with
But still supported me

Now I feel like there's
things I gotta get
things I gotta do
Just to prove to you
You was getting through
Can the choir please

Can't you see
You're like a book of poetry
Maya Angelou
Nikki Giovanni

Broke, broke, broke phi broke (we ain't got it) Broke, broke, broke phi broke (we ain't got it) Broke, broke broke phi broke (we ain't got it) Broke, broke, broke phi- I've called this private meeting today because there is an imposter among us. There is an imposter among us. This brother right here has been out making beats on the side, yes he has. Pretending he's broke walking amongst us. This brother has been eating every day, can you believe that? Eating every day. Pretending he's with us, he's not one of us. I did not want to believe this, but I walked into the brother Kanye's closet and I found new shoes. I found new shoes! Kanye, would you like to step forward and explain these new shoes?! (stammering) I was-you crazy, I wasn't, I didn't, um, I was just um, I was- No, you speak up, brother! I was gon' stick-I'm tryin to stick to my roots and- What? I wanna stick to my roots, and- What?! You march your new shoes out of here, Kanye. Don't you ever come back in 'em. Don't you ever come back smellin' all good, taking showers and shit like that, all right? We don't appreciate that down here at Broke Phi Broke. What's next?

But it's too late, it's too late
He, gone

You sweat her, and I ain't talkin 'bout a Coogi
You a big L, and I ain't talkin 'bout Cool J
See me at the airport, at least 20 Louis
Treat me like the Prince
and this my sweet brother Numpsay
BROTHER NUMPSAY! Groupies sound too choosy
Take 'em to the show and talk all through the movies
Says she want diamonds,
I took her to Ruby Tuesdays
If we up in Friday's,
I still have it my way

Too late, we, gone - we strivin home
Gone - we ride on chrome
It's too late

Y'all don't want no prob from me
What you rappers could get is a job from me
Maybe you could be my intern, and in turn
I'll show you how I cook up summer, in the win-turr
Aaron love the raw dog,
when will he learn
Caught somethin on the Usher tour he had to "Let it Burn"
Plus he already got three chil'run
Arguin over babysitters like,
"Bitch - it's yo' turn!"
Damn 'Ye, it'd be stupid to ditch you
Even your superficial raps is super official
R-R-R-Roc pastel with Gucci on
With TV's in the ride, throw a movie on
Said he couldn't rap now he at the top with doobie long
Cause the dookie's on any song that they threw me on, gone

We strivin home, gone
I ride on chrome...
We strivin home, gone
Killa, I ride on chrome

Knock knock, who's there? Killa Cam, Killa who?
Killa Cam, hustler, grinder, gorilla true
Oh my chinchilla blue,
blue you ever dealt with a dealer
Well here's the deal ma we goin to the
No concealin, no ceiling I don't need a roof
Act up, get out, I don't need you poof
Poof, be gone, damn tough luck dag
Dag, niggaz still doin puff puff pass
Pull the truck up fast and I tell 'em
Hey, back in a touched up Jag, shit
Y'all niggaz want Killa Cam, cerebellum
An old man just gon' tell 'em (too late, he, gone)
Then I see how y'all gonna react when I'm (gone)
My last girl want me back then I'm on
Fine stay, you got the grind hey
Came back, read what the sign say (too late, he, gone)
Yes I know you wanna see my demise
Yeah you church boy actin like a thief in disguise
Ain't leavin my side,
see the greed in my eyes
Ask Abby y'all hustle for a week to the Chi, shit
And that ain't leavin alive, please believe me
Gave Weezy a piece of the pie, and
You can ask George or Regina
The whole Westside I explore with the Beemer now

We strivin home, I ride on chrome
Listen homeboy move on
That's your best bet, why's that?
Cause

Uhh, uhh, yo, yo
I been pourin out some liquor for the fact that my pal's gone
And tryin to help his momma with the fact that her child gone
And since we used to bubble like a tub full of Calgon
Guess it's only right that I should help her from now on
But since they got a foul on,
what coulda gone wrong
Now they askin Cons, how long has this gone on
And maybe all this money mighta gone to my head
Cause they got me thinkin money mighta gone to the feds
So I ain't goin to the dread, but he'll go on up to bed
And when I came the next mornin he was gone with my bread
And with that bein said,
I had gone on my instincts
And gone to the spots where they go to get mixed drinks
But lookin back now shoulda gone to the crib
And rented "Gone With the Wind," cause I'da gone about 10
But I had gone with my friend, and we had gone to the bar
And heard a nigga talkin shit so I had gone to the car
And now the judge is tellin me that I had gone too far
And now we gone for 20 years,
doin time behind bars
And since I gone to a cell for some cruddy crimes
I guess I gone to the well one too many times,
cause I'm gone

Uh-uh-uh
Uh-uh-uh uh uh onnn, uh uh-uh onnn
Uh-uh onnn, uh uh-uh I'mmmm
Ah-head of my time, sometimes years out
So the powers that be won't let me get my ideas out
And that make me wanna get my advance out
And move to Oklahoma and just live at my Aunt's house
Yeah, I romance the thought of leavin it all behind
Kanye step away from the lime-
-light, like, when I was on the grind
In the "One, Nine, Nine, Nine"
Before, model chicks was bendin over or
Dealerships asked me Benz or Rover, man
If I could just get one beat on Hova
We could get up off this cheap-ass sofa
What the summer of the Chi got to offer an 18-year-old
Sell drugs or get a job, you gotta play gyro
My dawg worked at Taco Bell, hooked us up plural-fied
A week later the manager count the churros
Sometimes I can't believe it when I look up in the mirrow
How we out in Europe, spendin Euros
They claim you never know what you got 'til it's GONE
I know I got it, I don't know what y'all on
I'ma open up a store for aspiring MC's
Won't sell 'em no dream, but the inspiration is free
But if they ever flip sides like Anakin
You'll sell everything includin the mannequin
They got a new bitch now you Jennifer Aniston
Hold on I'll handle it, don't start panickin, stay calm
Shorty's at the door cause they need more
Inspiration for they life, they souls, and they songs
They said sorry Mr. West is gone!

Diamonds are forever"
"They won't leave in the night,
have no fear that they might"

"Diamonds are forever, forever, forever"
Throw your diamonds in the sky if you feel the vibe
"Diamonds are forever, forever, forever"
The Roc is still alive everytime I rhyme
"Forever..."
Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva,
eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

Close your eyes and imagine,
feel the magic
Vegas on acid,
seen through East St. Laurent glasses
And I realise that I've arrived
'Cause it take more than a magazine
to kill my vibe, does
He write his own rhymes,
sort of, I think 'em
That mean I forgat better
shit than you ever thought of
Damn, is he really that caught up
I ask, if you talk about clasics
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 Porche
It's spoilin' yourself thats important
If you striper name Porcha
and you get tips from many men
Then your fat friend, her nickname is mini-van
Excuse me, that's just the Henni, 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"
The Roc is still alive everytime I rhyme
"Forever..."
Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva,
eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

I was sick about awards,
couldn't nobody cure me
Only player that got robbed
and kept all his jewlery
Alicia Keys tried talk some sense in him
Thrity minutes later saw his note convincin' him
What mo' could you ask fo'
The international asshole
Who complained about what he is owed
And throw a tantrem like he is three years old
You gotta love it though
Somebody still speak 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 ya'll to pronounce my name
Is Kanye but some of my plaques still say Kayne
Got family in the ?D-King?, folks from Mo Town
Back in Chi, them folks ain't from ?Mo Town?
Life movin' too fast,
I need to slow down
Girl ain't give me no ass, she need to go down
My father Ben said I need Jesus,
so he took me to church
And let the water let the water run over my ?sleezer?
The preacher said we need leaders
Right then my body got steel, like a paraplegic
You know who you call,
you got a message to leave it
The Roc stand tall,
and you would never believe it
Take your diamonds
and throw 'em up like you bulimic
Ya, the beat cold but the flow is anemic
After debris settles
and the dust gets swept off
Big K kick it where young Hov left off
Right when magazines wrote Kanye West off
I drop my new shit, it sound like the best of
A&Rs lookin like phhttt we messed up
Grammy night, damn right, we got dressed up
Bottle after bottle 'till we got messed up
In the studio, we really though, ya he next up
People askin' me is I gon'give my chain back
That'll be the same day I give the game back
You know the next question all yo, where Dame at?
He's tracked the Indian dance to bring our rain back
What's up with you and Jay,
man? Are ya'll okay, man?
They pray for the death of our dynasty like Amen
R-r-r-r-right here stand 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"
The Roc is still alive everytime I rhyme
"Forever..."
Forever eva, forever eva, eva eva,
eva eva, eva eva, eva eva, eva eva

"Diamonds are forever, forever, forever"
"Diamonds are forever, forever, forever"
"Forever..."
