Kanye West Everything I Am (ft. DJ Premier) CLEAN Lyrics

Chorus]
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 talkin' sh*t but when sh*t hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

[Verse 1]
I'll never be picture perfect Beyonce
Be light as Al B. or Black as Chancey
Remember him from BlackStreet? He was black as the street was
I'll never be laid back as this beat was
I never could see why people'll reach a
Fake a__ facade, that they couldn't keep up
You see how I creeped up? You see how I play the big
Role in Chicago like, Queen Latifah
I never rocked a mink coat in the winter time like Killa Cam
Or rocked 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

[Chorus 2]
d___, here we go again
Everybody's sayin', what's not for him
But everything I'm not, made me everything I am
d___, here we go again
People talkin' sh*t but when sh*t hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

[Verse 2]
And I'm back to tear it up
Haters start ya engines, I hear them gearin' up
People talk so much sh*t about me at barbershops
They forget to get they hair cut
Okay fair enough, the streets is flarin' up
'Cause they want gun talk, or I don't wear enough
Baggy clothes, Reeboks, or Adidos
Can I add that he do spaz out, at his shows
Say goodbye to the N-double A-C-P award
Goodbye to the Indi-A-Arie award
They'd rather give me the "n____ Please" award
But I'll just take the, "I Got A Lot of Cheese" award

[Chorus 3]
d___, here we go again
But everything I'm not, made me everything I am
d___, here we go again
People talkin' sh*t but when sh*t hit the fan
Everything I'm not, made me everything I am

[verse 3]
I know people wouldn't usually rap this
But I got the facts to back this
Just last year Chicago had over six hundred caskets
Man killin' some wack sh*t
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 Ashland
I need to talk to somebody pastor
The church want t__hes, so I can't afford to pay
The slip on my door 'cause I can't, afford to stay
My fifteen seconds up but, I got more to say
That's enough Mr. West please, no more today
