Intro Kanye West Grammy Speech [Verse] I feel like David in the bible Slinging with the words while they copy like a recital Tryna do what i do? Na n***a you should free your mind My enemies go lieth in the gardens when they see the signs Read between the lines, I'm a kid from the projects A lab experiment to the government, was a subject Till i got dropped like I didn't make the team list Now i keep em guessing with the records they ain't seen sh** Tryna be it, like the opposite of tag My mind gets sharper every time i take a drag Puff puff pa** with my boy Mase Fash He been with me from the start so we got each others backs, let it pa** I make my own trends never follow one The strength of Samson and the wisdom of Solomon Rookie in the game but i'm rapping like the older ones The young kid still got green like he Yoda son
Police hold a gun to the head of my people They keep k**ing like our skin was illegal It's evil you need to tell me what and what should we do Reality is clear but that fake sh** is see through Now lets evaluate the prophecy We stand up for our rights so that they can treat us properly I understand we in the pockets of democracy I'm asking all theses questions but i know that's just philosophy And honestly I'm thinking when the change gon come They tried to keep us quiet so they made Obama run and he won But honestly the pain goes on, i'm just tryna make ya'll think in the same damn song Damn, so imma keep spitting So imma keep dropping verses that aren't written This is my soul tryna put a little thought in your mindset And prepare you for this mental race is your mind set
