Kanye West

Kanye West - Freestyle (Live At The Blue Note) lyrics

rate me

[Kanye West:]

It's like I wanna spit something written

But keep forgetting

So I guess it's from the heart from the start

Played my part

Seemed like I just wasn't reaching the charts

5000 hours, rewritting Power

Over and over

Some nights sober, some nights gone off the Henny as usual

So unusual to be in this position

Everything I say everybody tryna diss 'em

Everybody playin him, truth be told

The last nigga ever let the truth be told

And oh Mos Def ran to my home

And said they gon have yo ass gone

Light jokes, you keep playin with them white folks

Can't even take the piss

They gon' test your urine

Cut all the sponsorship for the touring!

"Where the Dark Fantasy tour at Ye? "

I don't know, ask, ask Hennesy (that's Coca-Cola)

Say 'he ain't clean enough'

But rappers ain't mean enough?

Enough lashes like I ain't seen enough

On the real, this is like the Neo-Emmitt Till

Whistling- Get yo fucking ass killed

Let's keep this shit real!

Now who the realest

Everybody feel this

And everyday of my life, people try to tell me that I hate the whites

Cause I said wats right

I go to sleep and deal with it every night

And wake up every morning

And walk to the liquor store or coffee store shop on the Mersa wats worser?

It's no verse that would reverse the-

In print or in cursive

They curse the name, or maybe call me Kane

Let's have a 'toast for the douche bags'

Then people wanna talk about me on blogs because I like clothes like look at this fag

That's what I have to deal with real shit

Ya'll don't even understand, what it take to be a real man

A black man interested in art, speaking from the heart and playin' my part

All this illuminati talk, like my first hit single wasn't 'Jesus Walks'

For many years, these ain't rhymes these is motherfucking tears

They playin' with niggas careers

Felt like I'm the only real nigga here

From my last breath

They kicked me out the awards and my nigga Diddy left

Then they even set Beyonce up to give the Award back

Didn't even know I afford that

And she rode the wave as I rode the slave

As I felt like a slave as they try to put my shit up in the grave

Nigga behave, nigga behave

Be the first [?]

I bet ya no one else would ever say nuttin' and stay frontin'

And get up and just perform, Shit is enormous

Shout out to Steve Stout, you know what this shit 'bout

My whole family, now I'm scared of Grammy's

Cause everybody know that Dark Fantasy was the highest rated album in history

So I just avoided it, not to be exploited, not to be recorded

Cause I cannot afford it, I cannot afford more shit to be in more debt

Uh, it's too real for these niggas, you feel for these niggas

How I feel to be a black man, you say something wrong, nobody understand

Money, power, black, opinion, pick two, they would kill ya.

[Mos Def:]

No matter what goes on

They may not agree, they may not understand

But God got a plan, to put the mic in my hand

And his hand and that hand

And ideas, and all of there's

And the end, everybody up in here, in this atmosphere

So make it clear, live long and prosper

Much success, even if you wish me the opposite

[?] I stay on my job

Try to pray to keep my heart from going harm

And I ain't perfect, you know that from old me

My life is real even when I'm in the movies

I'm on the ave, I'm in the cave

I buried my Grandmother on Thursday, two weeks ago

My life is real, as it ever been

To all my friends and even foes

Each and every one of those, let em know

I shine a globe, even in the dark, stay smart

Stay sharp, as a harp played by a musician in this position

Feel blessed to make the whole World listen

And just glisten without even trying

Even when I die, I won't stay dead

And it's straight off the head, and it's straight out the lungs

Looking fly, fresh, old man, so young

And I'm straight from the slums

And never been above so the ba-bum-ba-bum-bum-pum-pum...

This thing ups, let us all give some

Number one yo, I'm number none, no comparision

And make the whole world aware of it

Brooklyn in the building we take care of it

Peace out to all the Sagittarius

And happy birthday Pisces and Aries too

And this go out to all area crew

And if you come from the 78 scene and you just like me

Say it over [?]

From the present, and the past and the future and beyond

Me and Lupe and Kanye we play the song and get it on
