Kanye West Everything I Am Lyrics

d___, here we go again
Common passed on this beat
I made it to a jam
Now everything I'm not, made me everything I am
d___, here we go again
People talk s___, but when s___ hits the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

I'll never be picture-perfect Beyonce'
Be light as Al.B or black as Chonce
Remember him from blacksh-
He was as black as the street was
I'll never be as laid back as his beat was
I never could see why people'll reach a
Fake-a__ facade they couldn't keep up
Y'see how I creeped up?
Y'see how I played a big role in Chicago like Queen Latifah?
I never rock a mink coat ina winter time like Killa Cam
Or rock some mink boots in the summertime like will.i.am
Let me know if you feel it man
Cause everything I'm not, made me everything I am

d___, here we go again
Everybody sayin' what's not for him
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
d___, here we go again
People talk s___, but when s___ hits the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

And I'm back to tear it up
Haters, start your engines
I hear 'em gearin' up
People talk so much s___ about me at barbershops
They forget to get their haircut

Okay fair enough, the streets is flarin' up
Cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough
Baggy clothes, Reeboks, or A-di-dos
Can I add that he do spaz out at his shows
So say goodbye to the NAACP award
Goodbye to the In-di-a Arie award
They'd rather give me the n____-please award
But I'll just take the I-got-alotta-cheese award

d___, here we go again
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am
d___, here we go again
People talk s___, but when s___ hits the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

I know that people wouldn't usually rap this
But I got the facts to back this
Just last year, Chicago had over 600 caskets
Man, killin's some wack s___
Oh, I forgot, 'cept for when n____s is rappin'
Do you know what it feel like when people is passin'?
He got changed over his chains, a block off Ashlin
I need to talk to somebody, pastor
The church want t__he, so I can't afford to pay
The slip on the door, cause I can't afford to stay
My 15 seconds up, but I got more to say
That's enough Mr. West, please no more today
