Kanye West, John Legend, Common - They Say (Album Version (Explicit))
Song lyrics
They say "What's happening?"
We say the facts and if they lie,
We coming back for them.
They might say, but they don't know!
They say, they say,
They don't know.
[Verse 1: Common]
They say a nigga lost his mind,
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme,
The thin line between love and hatred,
I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life.
They say life is what you make it,
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it,
As high as the stakes get when paper get low,
I be tellin' Derick, "Tell Cara get us a show."
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low,
The richest man ain't necessarily the nigga with dough,
They say ,"You ripped, wow!" Yea, that's what they say,
My niggas couldn't tell it was me like Jamie in Ray.
Paintin' a day with focused crime, broads, and good wine,
They say dope is sour so it's homework and hood crimes,
I stood mine, for forever and a day so “goodbye”
They never could say, tell 'em, J!
[Chorus: John Legend]
They say "What's happening?"
We say the facts and if they lie,
We coming back for them.
They might say, but they don't know!
They say, they say,
They don't know.
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Hmm, the sweet taste of victory,
Go ‘head and breathe it in like antihistamine,
I know they sayin', "Damn, Ye, snapped with this beat!"
Fuck you expect? I've got a history.
Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels,
Haters back down, gotta be that steel,
I know they can't wait till ya outta ya deal,
Look how they did D'Angelo, ask ‘em how do it feel?
My best friends worry ‘bout me,
‘Cause they know when you famous
And you had made cash, the media aims at us and you be up so high
If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash.
But God don't ever give me nothing I can't handle,
So, please, don't ever give me records I can't sample,
So I could vacate where it ain't no channels,
But it's quite okay for a gangsta to wear sandals.
They say because of the fame and stardom,
I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum,
I guess it's messinh with my health then,
And this verse so crazy when I finish,
I'm just gon' check myself in, again.
[Chorus: John Legend]
They say "What's happening?"
We say the facts and if they lie,
We coming back for them.
They might say, but they don't know!
They say, they say,
They don't know.
[Verse 3: Common]
They say, “Dude think he righteous!”
I write just to free minds from Stoney to Rikers
Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike is,
On my paper, whether its weed or Isis.
They say life is a game, so I play hard,
Writin' for my life ‘cause I'm scared of a day job.
They say, "Sef kept the hood together",
I tell the young, "We can't play the hood forever."
Play my cards right, they say I went too left,
They showed me strange love like I was Mr. F.
Played chess in this game of pawns and knights,
Now I claim King like Don or Frank White,
They say my life is comparable to Christ's,
The way I sacrificed, and resurrected twice.
They say, "The crochet pants and the sweater was wack."
Seen ‘The Corner', now they say, "That nigga's back!"
[Chorus: John Legend]
They say "What's happening?"
We say the facts and if they lie,
We coming back for them.
They might say, but they don't know!
They say, they say,
They don't know.
