[Kanye West]. It's like I wanna spit something written. But keep forgetting. So I guess it's from the heart from the start. Played my part. Seemed like I just wasn't reaching the charts. 5000 hours rewritting Power. Over and over. Some nights sober some nights gone off the Henny as usual. So unusual to be in this position. Everything I say everybody tryna diss 'em. Everybody playin him truth be told. The last nigga ever let the truth be told. And oh Mos Def ran to my home. And said they gon have yo ass gone. Light jokes you keep playin with them white folks. Can't even take the piss. They gon' test your urine. Cut all the sponsorship for the touring!. "Where the Dark Fantasy tour at Ye?". I dont know ask ask Hennesy (thats Coca-Cola). Say 'he ain't clean enough'. But rappers ain't mean enough?. Enough lashes like I ain't seen enough. On the real this is like the neo-Emmitt Till. Whistling get yo fuckin' ass killed. Lets keep this shit real!. Now who the realest. Everybody feel this. And everyday of my life people try to tell me that I hate the whites. Cause I said what's right. I go to sleep and deal wit it every night. And wake up every morning. And walk to the liquor store or coffee store shop on the Mersa wats worser?. Its no verse that would reverse the-. In print or in cursive. They curse the name or maybe call me Kane. Let's have a 'toast for the douche bags'. Black people wanna talk about me on blogs. Cause I like clothes like 'look at this fag'. Thats what I have to deal wit real shit. Yall dont even understand what it take to be a real man. A black man interested in art speaking from the heart and playin' my part. All this illuminati talk like my first hit single wasn't 'Jesus Walks'. For many years these ain't rhymes these is muthaf-cking tears. They playin' wit niggas careers. Felt like I'm the only real nigga here. From my last breath. They kicked me out the awards and my nigga Diddy left. Then they even set Beyonce up to give the Award back. Didn't even know I afford that. And she rode the wave as I rode the slave. As I felt like a slave as they try to put my shit up in the grave. Nigga behave nigga behave. Be the first ?. I bet ya no one else would ever say nuttin' and stay frontin'. And get up and just perform Shit is enormous. Shout out to Steve Stout you know what this shit 'bout. My whole family now I'm scared of Grammy's. Cause everybody know that Dark Fantasy was the highest rated album in history. So I just avoided it not to be exploited not to be recorded. Cause I cannot afford it I cannot afford more shit to be in more debt. Uh it's too real for these niggas you feel for these niggas. How I feel to be a black man you say something wrong nobody understand. Money power black opinion pick two they would kill ya. [Mos Def]. No matter what goes on. They may not agree they may not understand. But God got a plan to put the mic in my hand. And his hand and that hand. And ideas and all of theres. And the end everybody up in here in this atmosphere. So make it clear live long and prosper. Much success even if you wish me the opposite. To quote Nas I stay on my job. Try to pray to keep my heart from going harm. And I ain't perfect you know that from old me. My life is real even when I'm in the movies. I'm on the ave I'm in the cave. I buried my Grandmother on Thursday two weeks ago. My life is real as it ever been. To all my friends and even foes. Each and every one of those let em know. I shine a globe even in the dark stay smart. Stay sharp as a harp played by a musician in this position. Feel blessed to make the whole World listen. And just glisten without even trying. Even when I die I won't stay dead. And its straight off the head and its straight out the lungs. Looking fly fresh old man so young. And I'm straight from the slums. And never been above so the ba-bum-ba-bum-bum-pum-pum?. This thing ups let us all give some. Number one yo I'm number none no comparision. And make the whole world aware of it. Brooklyn in the building we take care of it. Peace out to all the Sagittarius. And happy birthday Pisces and Aries too. And this go out to all area crew. And if you come from the seven-eighteen then you just like me. Say it over ?. From the present and the past and the future and beyond. Me and Lupe and Kanye we play the song and get it on
