Then you get your master's masters,

Then you get your doctron,

You go man, then when everybody says quit

You show them those degree man, when

[Kanye West]

We in the streets playa, getcha mail

It's only two places you'll end up - either dead or in jail

Still nowhere to go...still nowhere to go

Now throw ya hands up bustless, bustas, boostas, hoes
Everybody, fuck that

Still nowhere to go...sill nowhere to go..

[Mos Def]

Two words, United States, no love, no brakes

You keep it going man, you keep those books rolling,

You pick up those books your going to read

And not remember and you roll man.
You get that a sociate degree, okay,

Then you get your bachelors, then you get your masters

Then you get your master's masters,

Then you get your doctron,

You go man, then when everybody says quit

You show them those degree man, when

Bernie Mac:

What in the fuck was that Kanye?

I thought I told you to do some shit for the kids
You give me these motherfucking graduation tickets right now

You can give me this motherfucking robe, cap, and gown

You will not walk across that stage

You won’t slide across that stage

Motherfucker can’t pull you across the stage

[Verse - Kanye West]
Man I promise, she's so self conscious

She has no idea what she's doing in college

That major that she majored in don't make no money

But she won't drop out, her parents will look at her funny

Now, tell me that ain't insecurrre

Some glad morning when this life is over,

I'll fly away.

To a home on God's celestial shore,

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away.

When I die, Hallelujah, bye and bye,

I'll fly away.

When the shadows of this life have flown,

I'll fly away.

Like a bird thrown, driven by the storm,

I'll fly away.

I'll fly away, O Glory,

I'll fly away.

[Hook: GLC]

I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit

I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky

I've been workin' this graveshift and I ain't made shit

I wish I could buy me a spaceship and fly past the sky

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

Man, man, man

If my manager insults me again I will be assaulting him

Yo, We at war

We at war with terrorism, racism but most of all we at war with ourselves

(Jesus Walks)

God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down

(Jesus Walks with me) with me with me with me [fades]

You know what the Midwest is?

Young & Restless

Where restless Niggaz might snatch your necklace

And next these Niggaz might jack your Lexus

[Kanye West]

I'm tryin to catch the beat, uh

I'm tryin to catch the beat

I'm tryin to catch the beat, uh uh, uh

I'm tryin to catch the beat

[Chorus: Kanye West]

GET EM HIGH

KEEP EM HIGH

[Intro]

You just popped in the Kanye West

Get right for the summer workout tape

And ladies if you follow these instructions exactly

you might bear to pull you a rapper, a NBA player
Man, at least a dude wit' a car

So first of all we gon' work on the stomach

Nobody wants a little tight ass!

[Verse 1]

1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and get them sit ups right and

[Luther Vandross]

Are you gonna be

Say that you're gonna be

[Jamie Foxx]
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh...

[Jamie Foxx - Chorus]

She said she wants some Marvin Gaye, some Luther Vandross, a little Anita, will definitely set this party off right

(Are u gonna be, are u gonna be, are u gonna be, are you gonna be are you gonna be, well well well well well)

[Hook: Ludacris]

Yeah, breathe in, breathe out

If ya iced up, pull ya sleeves out

Push a big truck, pull ya keys out

Girls go wild and pull ya deez out
Breathe in, breathe out

Let them hoes fight, pull her weave out

If a nigga act up, pull a Desert E's out

When I pull the piece out niggas like "Peace out!"

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

Golly, more of that bullshit ice rap

Yo G they can't stop me from rapping can they?

Can that huh?

[Chorus:]

Through the fire, to the limit, to the wall
For a chance to be with you, I'd gladly risk it all

Through the fire, through whatever come what may

For a chance at loving you, I'd take it all away

Right down through the wire, even through the fire

I spit it through the wire man

[Intro: Kanye West]

How's your son? (all, all, all the things, things)

He make the team this year? (all, all, all the things things)

Aw th-, they said he wasn't tall enough?

(all, all, all the glitter in that gold)
Yeah me we gon' cook this up (now gold is not a reality)

(real is what you live to be)

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

This is family business

[Intro: Jay-Z (Kanye)]

[laughing]

Yo fuck you, Kanye, first and foremost

For making me do this shit. Muh'fucker
Had to throw everybody out the motherfucking room

'Cause they don't fucking..

(I'd like to propose a toast)

(I said toast motherfucker)

[Chorus: Kanye]

And I am

And they ask me, they ask me, they ask me, I tell them

Yo Ferris, they can't stop me from rappin', can they?

I spit it through the wire, man

If this ain't dedication I don't know what is, man

Listen, first of all I want to thank you for your support

Chi-Town, what's goin' on?

Uh, yeah, feels like, uh, every sunshine is brighter

Sunsets feel righter

Please light ya lighter for the producer and the writer

Feel like I wrote this
