[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West & The-Dream]
~#**************#~
Youll live, and youll learn
~#**************#~
See cause youve never been the same as anyone else
~#**************#~
Dont think the same as everyone else
~#**************#~
Youll live, and youll learn
~#**************#~
See youll never conclude with anyone else
~#**************#~
Dont think the same as everyone else
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
If I had everything, everything
~#**************#~
I could change anything
~#**************#~
If I changed anything, I mean anything
~#**************#~
I would change everything, oh yeah
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Dark boy, dont you cry
~#**************#~
Theres too much life left in those eyes
~#**************#~
Dont you let that face go waterfall
~#**************#~
Dont you learn to love your scars and all?
~#**************#~
Dark boy, dont you die
~#**************#~
Theyre just human, let them lie
~#**************#~
You just know your world and speak your truth
~#**************#~
Let them come to you
~#**************#~
For youll love, in your heart
~#**************#~
See cause youve never been the same as anyone else
~#**************#~
Dont think the same as everyone else
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
I would change everything, oh yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Nas]
~#**************#~
When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
~#**************#~
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black beloved brother
~#**************#~
You fail to embarrass him, harassin him
~#**************#~
To my life, your life pales in comparison
~#**************#~
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God
~#**************#~
Do whats necessary, Im never worried
~#**************#~
Listen vultures, Ive been shackled by Western culture
~#**************#~
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
~#**************#~
Thats why we competin, death by the chrome barrel
~#**************#~
Forgot the secrets, my Kilimanjaro bone marrows the deepest
~#**************#~
You can peep at the comments, but dont fall for that
~#**************#~
We want freedom, Im a scholar; an almanac
~#**************#~
People do anything to be involved in everything
~#**************#~
Inclusion is a hell of a drug
~#**************#~
Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life
~#**************#~
And never have enough
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
If I had everything, everything
~#**************#~
I could change anything
~#**************#~
If I changed anything, I mean anything
~#**************#~
I would change everything, oh yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nas]
~#**************#~
From the birth of a child, the world is foul
~#**************#~
Excursions of a searchin child
~#**************#~
Should learn to take nothin personal
~#**************#~
A parent hates to watch his babys face
~#**************#~
Takin his first immunization shots, but this is great
~#**************#~
The childs introduction to suffering and pain
~#**************#~
Understands without words, nothin is explained
~#**************#~
Or rushed to the brain, lookin up at his parents face
~#**************#~
Like, “I thought you would protect me from this scary place?”
~#**************#~
“Whyd you let them inject me?”
~#**************#~
“Whos gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?”
~#**************#~
Who knew I would grow to meet presidents that respect me?
~#**************#~
If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please dont arrest me
~#**************#~
I need to use your restroom and I aint buy no espresso
~#**************#~
Soon enough, assume the cuffs, the position
~#**************#~
Not new to us, since back on the bus sittin
~#**************#~
Said, “Screw that bus!” – boycotted that bus outta business
~#**************#~
The futures us, yet every citizens in prison
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
If I had everything, everything
~#**************#~
I could change anything
~#**************#~
If I changed anything, I mean anything
~#**************#~
I would change everything, oh yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Nas]
~#**************#~
Watch me as I walk through the folly, golly, New York to Saudi
~#**************#~
In Italy, Im Eduardo Baccari
~#**************#~
But Nasty the hustler, nasty like mustard gas, sulfur
~#**************#~
And I could sell Alaska to Russia, no pressure
~#**************#~
My first house, 11,000-square-feet mansion
~#**************#~
It was a haunted by dead rich whites
~#**************#~
Mad a nigga bought his crib to hang up pictures of black Christ
~#**************#~
Circular driveways, black cars and black ice
~#**************#~
My second house, still in my twenties, illin with money
~#**************#~
Chilled through my spine, spillin wine, its funny
~#**************#~
Did good for a staircase loiterer, euphoria
~#**************#~
What you saw when you seen a teen turn to a warrior
~#**************#~
Did every Fourth of July, bustin in the sky
~#**************#~
It was important to a guy who was mob-minded
~#**************#~
Future Murciélago driver til Lambos got average on me
~#**************#~
I started likin the look like I aint had no money
~#**************#~
Yellow taxi seats over Maybach seats
~#**************#~
Just to remind me, just to inspire me
~#**************#~
To stay focused, its a real sick society
~#**************#~
Just cause I got your support dont mean youre buyin me
~#**************#~
Im buyin back the land owned by the slave masters
~#**************#~
Where my ancestors lived, just to say a rapper
~#**************#~
Made a change, the pants-sagger put plans in action
~#**************#~
To lay claim the Pan-African made it happen
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]
~#**************#~
Youll live, and youll learn
~#**************#~
See cause youve never been the same anyone else
~#**************#~
Dont think the same as everyone else
~#**************#~
Youll live, and youll learn
~#**************#~
See youll never conclude with anyone else
~#**************#~
Dont think the same as everyone else
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
If I had everything, everything
~#**************#~
I could change anything
~#**************#~
If I changed anything, I mean anything
~#**************#~
I would change everything, oh yeah
~#**************#~
[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Dark boy, dont you cry
~#**************#~
Theres too much life left in those eyes
~#**************#~
Dont you let that face go waterfall
~#**************#~
Dont you learn to love your scars and all
~#**************#~
Dark boy, dont you die
~#**************#~
Theyre just human, let them lie
~#**************#~
You just know your world and speak your truth
~#**************#~
And let them come to you
