a look
And he told us what he saw when it's easy to see
It's goin' by the book
It's goin' by the book
There's armies in the cities and the missiles stand
to city, worldwide, we got y'all, why'knahmean?
(Ghetto America)
This album right here represents strength
(Ohh! Yeah)
Strength in our people, understand it
and I always see
What I have been searching for
I'm lost as can be, then you look at me
And I am not lost anymore
People run, sun to sun
Caught in
da, da, da
La, de, da, da, da, da, de
Talkin' 'bout you and me
And the games people play
Look around and tell me what you see
What's happenin'
that I see
All races and religions, that's America to me
The place I work in, the worker by my side
The little town or city where my people lived
why'all, why'knahmean?
(Ghetto America) This album right here represents strength
(Ohhhh! Yeahhh) Strength in our people, understand it
Cock-suckers can
the moonlight
Walking in the moonlight
Oh, laughter ringing in the darkness
People drinking for days gone by
Time don't mean a thing
When you're by my side
back
Because the teacher that you see is not wack
I'd like to stack up all the hits that I've made
Three albums, a triple-layer cake
[flipping through news broadcasts.]
Business? ...one eight hundred nine
Nine two...for cash back, see store for details...
Meeting rebel leaders, he says he
in music
Over the last decade
WEST: I wasn't even nominated for Best
Album this year this year
I only got two nominations
By the Grammys: for
Best Rap
Yeah, this album is dedicated
To all the teachers
That told me I'd never amount to nothin'
To all the people that lived above
The buildings that I
the sky
Are also on the faces
Of people going by
I see friends shaking hands
Saying "how do you do? "
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear
don't see the days slipping by and neither do I
Now, people, they live from day to day, but they do not count the time, no
They don't see their days
That wherever you go, we're right by your side
People, people
We the people would like you to know
That wherever you go, we're right by your side
and cry
[Chorus]
And I'm leaving this town as soon as I can
Gonna stop off for a while and see my woman
People do you wrong down in Dallas
I know
There are colors in the night
Red, white and blue
People shufflin' their feet
People swimmin' in their shoes
There's a warming sign on the road
Everyday they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where
On they go through private pain
Living fear
minds
Or maybe it's me that's gone crazy
'Cause I can't understand why
All these people keep hurting each other
When good love is so hard to come by
I cover the waterfront
Watchin' the ship go by
I could see everybody's baby
But I couldn't see mine
I could see the ships pullin' in
the purp is
Wit ya main bitch she forgotten
Where her skirt is
Heard my album drop and now
You kinda gettin' nervous
See I be goin' hard cause this is what I
For us to spend this evening close together, yeah
Deep in the night
We're holding on to someone else's dream
Girl, can't you see?
We need some
a garden
Or on a crowded avenue
You are here and so am I
Maybe millions of people go by
But they all disappear from view
And I only have eyes for you
together, we the people?
(Oh yeah)
See the people, are they free and equal?
(Hell no)
Can we get from me to we, my people?
(We don’t know)
It’s always for
