Kanye West: I get down for my grandfather who took my momma Made her sit in that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sittings. And with that in my blood,I was born to be different Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership But we can make it to Jacobs and to the dealership Swear I hear new music And i just don't be feelin it Racism still alive they just be concealing it But i know they don't want me in the damn club They even made me show I.D to get inside of Sam's club I done did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed Swear I've been baptised least 3 or 4 times But in the land where nigga's pray You cons are getting pay It's gonna take a lot more than coupons to get us saved Like it take a lot more than doo-rags to get you waves Nothing sad as that day my girl father passed away So i promised to Mr. Rainy I'm gonna marry your daughter And u know i gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up And i know that u were smiling when u seen that car i bought her And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up But i can't complain what the accident did to my left eye Cuz look what a accident did to Left eye First Aaliyah now Romeo must die I know I got angels watching me from the other side.
