[Kanye West]. ("Make It Up") We can make it better. ("Make It Up") We can make it better. ("Make It Up") We can make it better. ("Make It Up") We can make it. Somebody told me that Delta's brownskinned AKAs' lightskinned. And they supposed to be bougious so they got white friends. First day of school I'mma take you sight seein'. Show you what we do on weekends for a sight man. She said "I know what you about to say like your hypeman". She let a nigga hit it and now she only date white men. And if a nigga even wave at her it's frightnin'; but. [Chorus: Kanye West]. ("Make It Up") We can make it better. (Better we can). ("Make It Up") We can make it better. (Better we can make it on up we can). ("Make It Up") We can make it better. (Better we can). ("Make It Up") We can make it. [Talib Kweli]. The night fallin' over Brooklyn where they murder for change. The converter remains faithful to the drugdealer priestess. He in search of the word of fame you heard of the name. Kweli the truth like I'm comin' out the mouth of (?). One for it one for out the grave. Niggaz want they reperations How you calculate the amount to be paid. You try to imagine America without the slaves (the slaves). [Chorus]. [Q-Tip]. Her tenament yo is rat infested. Her heart is like a gold (?) cause she wouldn't protest it. Cause her bestfriend's man got popped. He was sixteen years old the cop thought his phone was a glock. In the hood is a everday happenin'. A friend of the priest say she chose out the captain. She yelled out "Why you do this to black men?". [Chorus]. [Common]. I think of eighty seven ways to make better days. Whether climb or rhyme I heard of rebel pays. On the scene tryin' to get green like everglades. Music rhymin' good like escalates. In the ghetto infested by shade and drama. And niggaz wit' thangs ain't afraid of karma. I'm thinkin' big like Little Wayne in the (?). [Chorus]. [Rhymefest]. C'mon; Tell people the truth but never give 'em ya true thoughts. Terrorism on blacks they poison our Newports. Partiot Act in effect make it hard to breathe now. Johnny Cochran dead who gonna get us free now?. Clinton ain't in office who gon' give us shit free now?. Who gon' make it better for the thugs and Ps now?. Who gon' make it good for old folks that's senile?. Oh it's good music yeah dog I see now. [Chorus]
