Kanye West - Everybody Told Me lyrics

[Intro] Maybe they seen me on the videos Or they heard me on the radio [Hook] Tip tried to tell me but damn I wouldn't listen Ye' tried to tell me but man I wouldn't listen Damn I should have listened What would you do if it was you in my position? Maybe they seen me on the videos And they put me in the damage zone Damn I should have listened So for now I'm just laying low Damn I should have listened [Verse 1] Cons, what makes you think you are any better than the rest? If your homies wouldn't flip on you for a check They try to stick you up for that chain around your neck Even if they did man there is no disrespect It's the rules of engagement, you just got engaged Tryin to rewrite history before they turn the page But that's when they turn and aim sh** you better learn the game I mean what you thought would happen once you finally got ya stacks up The same boy who would tell them fools to back up Is mad as hell when he sees you hold your plaques up To get them dranks in him (now he wanna act up) To tell the friend who tell the friend to tell the friend And since there's strength in numbers, jealousy begins And it doesn't matter if it's true or it's not These are the Consequences when they say that you're hot [Hook] [Verse 2] Same old movie being re-enacted They see me in that Benz coupe now they wanna jack 'em But before they would have backed em Now they screamin let me at em Maybe they seen me on the videos Or they heard me on the radio And now they coming at me crazy yo That's why I gotta tuck the 80 yo But how you gonna front on baby bro Who's trying to go even though you told him take it slow I guess you seem convinced That they would put a suit on me like g's to gents But I'm like a tea-bag when you put me in the corner I just get stronger when my name's in hot water So whether is true or not These are the consequences when they say that you're hot [Hook] [Outro] Everybody told me told me told me told me baby baby Damn I should have listened Everybody told me baby everybody told me told me Damn I should have listened
