Kanye West They Say Lyrics

They Say Lyrics

Chorus: John Legend]

They say "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts and if, they lie...

We comin' back for them

They might say... but they don't know!

(They say, They say...)

They don't knowwwww



[Verse 1: Common]

They say a nigga lost his mind

But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme

The thin line between love and hatred

I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life

They say life is what you make it

So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it

As high as the stakes get when paper get low

I be tellin Derick, "Tell Kara get us a show"

Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low

The richest man aint necessarily the nigga wit dough

They say "You ripped" "Wow..." Yea, that's what they say

My niggaz couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray

Paintin a day, wit focused crime, broads, and good wine

They say "Dope is sour so it's homework and hood crimes"

I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbye

They never could say - tell 'em, J



[Chorus]



[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Ahh... The sweet taste of victory

Go head and breath it in like antihistamine

I know they sayin "Damn, Yay snapped wit this beat!"

Fuck you expect? I've got a history

Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels!

Haters back down, gotta be that steel!

I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal!

Look how they did D'Angelo ask em how do it feel!

My best friends worry bout me

Cause they know when you famous/fame-ass

And you had made cash the media aims at us and you be up so high

if you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash

But God don't ever give me nothin I cant handle

So please don't ever give me records I cant sample

So I could vacate where it aint no channels

but it's quite ok for a gangsta to wear sandals

They say because of the fame and stardom

I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum

I guess it's messin with my health then

And this verse so crazy when I finish

I'm just gon check myself in - again



[Chorus]

[Kanye West:] "Uh!" (hey!)



[Verse 3: Common]

They say "Dude think he righteous"

I write just to free minds, from Stoney to Rikers

Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike is

On my paper, whether its weed or Isis

They say "life is a game," so I play hard

Writin for my life cause I'm scared of a day job

They say "Sef kept the hood together"

I tell the young, "We can't play the hood forever"

Play my cards right, they say I went to left

They showed me strange love, like I was Mr. F

Played chess in this game of, pawns and knights

Now I claim "King" like Don, or Frank White

They say my life is comparable to Christ's

The way I sacrificed, and resurrected, twice

They say "The crochet pants and the sweater was wack"

Seen "The Corner", now they say "That nigga's back,"
uh...



[Chorus]
