Stronger

Work it harder, make it better,
do it faster, makes us stronger,
more than ever, never over,
Our work here is never over.

N- n- now th- that don't kill me
Can only make me stronger
I need you to hurry up now
'cause I can't wait much longer
I know I got to be right now
'cause I can't get much wronger
Man I've been waitin' all night now
That's how long I've been on you

I need you right now
I need you right now

Let's get lost tonight
You could be my black Kate Moss tonight
Play secretary, I'm the boss tonight
And you don't give a f*** what they all say right?
Awesome, the Christian and Christian Dior
Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore
I ask 'cause I'm not sure
Do anybody make real s*** anymore?
Bow in the presence of greatness
'cause right now thou has forsaken us
You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake s***
So go ahead go nuts go ape s***
Especially in my pastel on my bape s***
Act like you can't tell who made this
New gospel homey, take six, and take this, haters

I need you right now
I need you right now


I don't know if you got a man or not,
If you made plans or not
God put me in the plans or not
I'm trippin' this drink got me sayin' a lot
But I know that God put you in front of me

So how the hell could you front on me?
There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me
I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?
This is Louis Vuitton Don night
So we gonna do everything that Kan like
Heard they'd do anything for a Klondike
Well I'd do anything for a blonde-dike
And she'll do anything for the limelight
And we'll do anything when the time's right
Ugh, baby, you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

I need you right now
I need you right now


You know how long I've been on you?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since OJ had Isotoners
Don't act like I never told you [x6]
Baby, you're making it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

I need you right now [x4]

You know how long I've been on you?
Since Prince was on Apollonia
Since OJ had Isotoners
Don't act like I never told you
Never told you [x4]

Heartless

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me though
You need to watch the way you talking to me yo
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


How could you be so Dr. Evil
You're bringing out a side of me that I don't know
I decided we weren't gonna speak so why we up 3 a.m. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me for, homie I don't know she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes,
You run and tell your friends that you're leavin' me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see,
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless?


Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk,
Baby lets just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
and you can't make it right
Im gon' take off tonight
In to the night...

In the night I hear 'em talk,
The coldest story ever told,
Somewhere far along this road
He lost his soul
To a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless... oh
How could you be so heartless? [2 times]

Jesus walks

Yo, We at war
We at war with terrorism, racism, and 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 (Niggas) might snatch your necklace
And next these (Niggas) might jack your Lexus
Somebody tell these (Niggas) who Kanye West is
I walk through the valley of the Chi where death is
Top floor the view alone will leave you breathless Uhhhh!
Try to catch it Uhhhh! It's kinda hard hard
Getting choked by the detectives yeah yeah now check the method
They be asking us questions, harass and arrest us
Saying "we eat pieces of shit like you for breakfast"
Huh? Yall eat pieces of shit? What's the basis?
We ain't going nowhere but got suits and cases
A trunk full of coke rental car from Avis
My momma used to say only Jesus can save us
Well momma I know I act a fool
But I'll be gone 'til November I got packs to move I Hope

[Hook x2]
(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the Devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks with me)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't think there is nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus Walks with me)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

To the hustlers, killers, murderers, drug dealers even the strippers
(Jesus walks with them)
To the victims of Welfare for we living in hell here hell yeah
(Jesus walks with them)
Now hear ye hear ye want to see Thee more clearly
I know he hear me when my feet get weary
Cause we're the almost nearly extinct
We rappers are role models we rap we don't think
I ain't here to argue about his facial features
Or here to convert atheists into believers
I'm just trying to say the way school need teachers
The way Kathie Lee needed Regis that's the way I need Jesus
So here go my single dog radio needs this
They say you can rap about anything except for Jesus
That means guns, sex, lies, video tapes
But if I talk about God my record won't get played Huh?
Well let this take away from my spins
Which will probably take away from my ends
Then I hope this take away from my sins
And bring the day that I'm dreaming about
Next time I'm in the club everybody screaming out

(Jesus Walks)
God show me the way because the devil trying to break me down
(Jesus Walks)
The only thing that that I pray is that my feet don't fail me now
(Jesus Walks)
And I don't thing there's nothing I can do now to right my wrongs
(Jesus walks with me... fades)
I want to talk to God but I'm afraid because we ain't spoke in so long

Amazing

It's amazing, I'm the reason
Everybody fired up this evening
I'm exhausted, barely breathing
Holding on to what I believe in

No matter what you'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see

It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin'
(Let's go)

It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'

(Let's go)

Never gave in, never gave up
I'm the only thing I'm afraid of

No matter what you'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see


It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'

If I ain't on my grind then what you call that?
Victorious, yeah, we warriors
We make history, strive off victory

Standing at my podium
I'm trying watch my sodium
Die high blood pressure
You even let the Feds getcha

I'm amazin', born on the full moon
I was bred to get it in, no spoon
That's why I'm so goose, summer time, no juice
Big family, small house, no rooms

They like, oh God, why you go so hard?
Look what he's been through
He deserves an applause

So amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin'

Graduation day

What in the fuck was that Kanye
I told you to do some shit for the kids
You can give me your muthafucking graduation ticket right now
You will not walk across that stage, you won’t slide across that stage
A muthafucka can’t pull you across that stage Kanye
Who told you see, I told you to do something up lifting
I’m trynna get you out here with these white people and this how you gone do me
You know what us a nigga
And I don’t mean that in no nice way
Had little kids sing about the shit, the jokes on you
You throw your mutha hands in the air, and wave good-bye to everybody
Cause you getting the fuck out of this campus
Mutha what you gone do now

I'm no longer confused but don't tell anybody.
I'm about to break the rules but don't tell anybody.
I got something better than school but don't tell anybody.
My momma would kill me but don't anybody.
she wants me to get a good ass job just like everybody.
She ain'twalked in my shoes i'm just not everybody.

Never let me down

Yeah Grandmama
 Told you I won't let you down
 Told you I won't let this rap game change me, right?

[Chorus:]
 When it comes to being true, at least true to me
 One thing I found,one thing I found
 Oh no you'll neva let me down,
 Get up I get(down)
 Get up I get(down)
 Get up I get(down)
 Get up I get(down)
 Get up I get(down)
 Get up I get(down)

[Jay-Z:]
 Yo, yo first I snatched the street then I snatched the charts,
 First had they ear now I hav they're heart,
 Rappers came and went,
 I've been hear from the start,
 Seen them put it together
 Watch them take it apart,
 See the Rovers roll up wit ribbons
 I've seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven
 So when I reload, he holds #1 position
 When u hot I'm hot
 And when your feet cold, mines is sizzelin
 It's plain to see
 Nigga's can't f*** wit me
 Cuz ima be that nigga fo life
 This is not an image
 This is God given
 This is hard liven
 Mixed wit crystal sipping
 It's the most consistent
 Hov
 Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and
 Nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggaz visitin
 It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan of rap
 I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy

[Chorus]

[Kanye West:]
 I get down for my grandfather who took my momma
 Made her sit that seat where white folks ain't wanna us to eat
 At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in
 With that in my blood I was born to be different
 Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership
 But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership
 That's why I hear new music
 And I just don't be feeling it
 Racism still alive they just be concealing it
 But I know they don't want me in the damn club
 They even made me show I.D to get inside of Sam's club
 I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed
 Swear I've been baptised at least 3 or 4 times
 But in the land where nigga's praise
 Yukons and getting paid
 It gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved
 Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves
 Noting sadder than that day my girl father past away
 So I promised to Mr Rany I'm gonna marry your daughter
 And u know I gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up
 And I know that u were smiling when u see that car I bought her
 And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up
 But I can't complaint what the accident did to my Left Eye
 Cuz look what a accident did to Left Eye
 First Aaliyah and now romeo must die
 I know a got angels watching me from the other side

[Chorus x2]

[J.Ivy:]
 We are all here for a reason on a particular path
 You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math
 Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious
 That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world
 I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls
 I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this
 That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him
 So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical
 I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument
 My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental
 That's why I'm instrumental
 Vibrations is what I'm into
 Yeah, I need my loot by rent day
 But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte
 I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque
 I can't stop, that's why I'm hot
 Determination, dedication, motivation
 I'm talking to you, my many inspirations
 When I say I can't, let you or self down
 If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff
 And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip
 I would never, ever let you down
 And when these words are found
 Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love
 That's why my breath is felt by the deaf
 And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind
 I, too, dream in color and in rhyme
 So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house
 Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth
 A touch of God reigns out

[Chorus]

[Jay-Z (Kanye West)]
 Who else you know been hot this long,
 (Oh Ya, you know we ain't finished)
 Started from nothing but he got this strong,
 (The ROC is in the building)
 Built the ROC from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you,
 Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special,
 Let you tell that man I'm falling,
 Well somebody must've caught him,
 Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em,
 Number one albums, what I got like four of dem,
 More of dem on the way,
 The Eight Wonder on the way,
 Clear the way, I'm here to stay,
 Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay,
 Dissin' Jay 'ill get you mased,
 When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious,
 Six Hail Maries, please Father forgive us,
 Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggas,
 The way y'all all follow Jigga,
 Hov's a living legend and I tell you why,
 Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.
