Kanye West - Believe What I Say lyrics

[Intro] Yo, yo (Check our situation) My men and my women (Yo) Yo, yo (Check our situation) My men and my wom– [Verse 1] You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected Just one time for the record, just one time for the record Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods [Chorus] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow [Verse 2] Man, it's too early What the hell you doin' wakin' me up at 5:30? Why the hell are you worried? Play somethin' that is very, very vibe worthy I don't know want my mind alerting People sayin' tweetin' gonna make you die early How 'bout have my heart hurtin'? Hold it all inside, that could make you die early Go'n and get your best attorney Something's there, feel it when I heard it Just release the spirit, let it flow though How these ni**as leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo? Nail me to the cross with long nails, like Coco Free Throat Coat for the throat goats Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo I ain't got my point across 'Til we finally get the cross and pass the point So there's a couple things that I gotta quote Don't involve yourself in things you don't have to know I ain't never question what you was askin' for I gave you every single thing you was askin' for I don't understand how anybody could ask for more Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off I be goin' through things that I had to wrote Celebrity drama that only Brad'd know Too many family secrets, somebody pass the notes Things I cried about, I found laughable Lil' baby Jesus, ain't laughing, no Don't involve yourself in things that you ain't have to know The big man upstairs ain't laughin', no Don't involve yourself in things that you ain't have to know [Bridge] Now here we are, you know I'm not about it Showed you my all, I let you into my thoughts [Chorus] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow in love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow [Interlude] Okay, I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave I told you I loved you, but she didn't believe You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived By some dude who's more rather into greed Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha You said that I lie, how did I? I told you everything, didn't I? But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no My back ain't against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall) [Chorus] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light (Right on, right on) One last sparkle to follow
