[Intro: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Im living in that 21st century, doing something mean to it
~#**************#~
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
~#**************#~
Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it
~#**************#~
I guess every superhero need his theme music
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
No one man should have all that power
~#**************#~
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
~#**************#~
Stop tripping, Im tripping off the power
~#**************#~
(21st-century schizoid man)
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
~#**************#~
We aint got nothing to lose, motherfucker, we rolling
~#**************#~
Huh? Motherfucker, we rolling
~#**************#~
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
~#**************#~
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
~#**************#~
So goodnight, cruel world, Ill see you in the morning
~#**************#~
Huh? Ill see you in the morning
~#**************#~
This is way too much, I need a moment
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
No one man should have all that power
~#**************#~
The clocks ticking, I just count the hours
~#**************#~
Stop tripping, Im tripping off the power
~#**************#~
‘Til then, fuck that, the worlds ours
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Fuck SNL and the whole cast
~#**************#~
Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
~#**************#~
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
~#**************#~
Im an asshole? You niggas got jokes
~#**************#~
You short-minded niggas thoughts is Napoleon
~#**************#~
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
~#**************#~
I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
~#**************#~
He knows hes so fuckin gifted
~#**************#~
I just needed time alone with my own thoughts
~#**************#~
Got treasures in my mind, but couldnt open up my own vault
~#**************#~
My childlike creativity, purity, and honesty
~#**************#~
Is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts
~#**************#~
Reality is catching up with me
~#**************#~
Taking my inner child, Im fighting for custody
~#**************#~
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
~#**************#~
As I look down at my diamond-encrusted piece
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Thinking no one man should have all that power
~#**************#~
The clocks ticking, I just count the hours
~#**************#~
Stop tripping, Im tripping off the powder
~#**************#~
‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~
And they say, and they say
~#**************#~

Colin Powells, Austin Powers
~#**************#~
Lost in translation with a whole fuckin nation
~#**************#~
They say I was the abomination of Obamas nation
~#**************#~
Well, thats a pretty bad way to start the conversation
~#**************#~
At the end of the day, goddamnit, Im killing this shit
