~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Aint no question if I want it, I need it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
Im on the edge, so why you playing? Im saying
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
~#**************#~
Not for nothing, Ive foreseen it, I dreamed it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
~#**************#~
And eventually answers to the call of autumn
~#**************#~
All them fallin for the love of ballin
~#**************#~
Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
~#**************#~
Inter-century anthems based off inner-city tantrums
~#**************#~
Based off the way we was branded
~#**************#~
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
~#**************#~
And at the airport, they check all through my bag
~#**************#~
And tell me that its random
~#**************#~
But we stay winning
~#**************#~
This week has been a bad massage, I need a happy ending
~#**************#~
And a new beginning and a new fitted
~#**************#~
And some job opportunities thats lucrative
~#**************#~
This the real world, homie, school finished
~#**************#~
They done stole your dreams, you dont know who did it
~#**************#~
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
~#**************#~
I wont be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Aint no question if I want it, I need it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
Im on the edge, so why you playing? Im saying
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Is hip-hop just a euphemism for a new religion?
~#**************#~
The soul music of the slaves that the youth is missing
~#**************#~
But this is more than just my road to redemption
~#**************#~
Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention
~#**************#~
As long as Im in Polo smiling, they think they got me
~#**************#~
But theyd try to crack me if they ever see a Black me
~#**************#~
I thought I chose a field where they couldnt sack me
~#**************#~
If a nigga aint shootin a jumpshot, runnin a track meet
~#**************#~
But this pimp is at the top of Mount Olympus
~#**************#~
Ready for the worlds games, this is my Olympics
~#**************#~
We make em say ho cause the game is so pimpish
~#**************#~
Choke a South Park writer with a fishstick
~#**************#~
I insisted to get up off of this dick
~#**************#~
And these drugs, niggas cant resist it
~#**************#~
Remind me when they tried to have Ali enlisted
~#**************#~
If I ever wasnt the greatest, nigga, I must have missed it
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Aint no question if I want it, I need it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
Im on the edge, so why you playing? Im saying
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
I need more drinks and less lights
~#**************#~
And that American Apparel girl in just tights
~#**************#~
She told the director she tryna get in a school
~#**************#~
He said, “Take them glasses off and get in the pool”
~#**************#~
Its been a while since I watched the tube
~#**************#~
‘Cause like a Crip set, I got way too many blues for any more bad news
~#**************#~
I was looking at my resume, feeling real fresh today
~#**************#~
They rewrite history, I dont believe in yesterday
~#**************#~
And whats a Black Beatle anyway, a fuckin roach?
~#**************#~
I guess thats why they got me sitting in fuckin coach
~#**************#~
My guy said I need a different approach
~#**************#~
‘Cause people is looking at me like Im sniffin coke
~#**************#~
Its not funny anymore, try different jokes
~#**************#~
Tell em hug and kiss my ass, X and O
~#**************#~
And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it
~#**************#~
Play strings for the dramatic ending of that wack shit
~#**************#~
Act like I aint had a belt in two classes
~#**************#~
I aint got it, Im coming after whoever who has it
~#**************#~
Im coming after whoever, who has it?
~#**************#~
You blowin up, thats good, fantastic
~#**************#~
That, yall, its like that, yall
~#**************#~
I dont really give a fuck about it at all
~#**************#~
‘Cause the same people that tried to blackball me
~#**************#~
Forgot about two things, my Black balls
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Aint no question if I want it, I need it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
Im on the edge, so why you playing? Im saying
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
~#**************#~
[Verse 4: Raekwon]
~#**************#~
Ayy, yo
~#**************#~
I done copped Timbs, lived in lenses, kid
~#**************#~
Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots, and Benzes
~#**************#~
Counting up, smoking, one cuff
~#**************#~
Live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbin a blunt, fuck it
~#**************#~
Steam about a hundred and one Ls
~#**************#~
Kites off to jails, buyin sweats, running up in Stetson
~#**************#~
Nigga hat game was special
~#**************#~
It matched every black pair of Nikes, throwing dice for decimals
~#**************#~
The older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head
~#**************#~
Make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead
~#**************#~
That meant code red, bent off the black skunk
~#**************#~
The black Dutch, back of the old shed
~#**************#~
If you cant live, you dying, you give or buy in
~#**************#~
Keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding
~#**************#~
Keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan
~#**************#~
Learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kid Cudi]
~#**************#~
Not for nothing, Ive forseen it, I dreamed it
~#**************#~
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
~#**************#~
No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus
~#**************#~
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
