[Kanye West:] I get down for my grandfather who took my momma Made her sit that seat where white folks aint wanna us to eat At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in 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 Jacob and to the dealership That's why i hear new music And i jus dun b feelin it Racism still alive they jus be consealin it But i know they don't want me in the damn club They even made me show I.D to get up in to sam's club I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed Swear I've been baptised at least 3 or 4 times But in the land where nigga's pray U con's are getting paid It gon take a lot more than coupons to get us saved Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves Notin sadder than that day my girl father past away So i promised to MR.rany 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 see that car i bought her And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up But i can't complaint what the accident did to my left eye Cuz look what a accident did to left eye First Aaliyah and now romeo must die I know a got angels watchin me from the other side
[Chorus x2]
[J.Ivy:] We are 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 ??? But that is not 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 I can't, let yourself down If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff And you slipped down the side and clinched 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
