Kanye West - Everything I Am lyrics

[Hook] Damn, here we go again Common pa**ed on this beat, I made it to a jam Now everything I'm not, made me everything I am Damn, here we go again People talking sh**, but when sh** hit the fan Everything I'm not, made me everything I am [Verse 1] I'll never be picture perfect Beyoncé Be light as Al B., or black as Chaun-cey Remember him from Blackstreet, he was as black as the street was I never be as laid back as this beat was I never could see why people reach a Fake a** facade that they couldn't keep up You see how I creeped up You see how I played the big role in "Chicago" like Queen Latifah I never rock a mink coat in the winter like k**a Cam Or rock some mink boots in the summer time like Will.I.Am Let me know if you feel it man Cause everything I'm not made me everything I am [Hook] (DJ Premier scratching in background) Damn, here we go again Everybody saying what's not for him But everything I'm not, made me everything I am Damn, here we go again People talking sh**, but when sh** hit the fan Everything I'm not, made me everything I am [Verse 2] And I'm back to tear it up Haters start your engines, I hear 'em gearing up People talk so much sh** about me at barbershops They forget to get their hair cut Okay, fair enough, the streets is flaring up Cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough Baggy clothes, Reebok's, or A-di-dos Can I add that he do spaz out at his shows So say goodbye to the NAACP award Goodbye to the In-di-a Arie award They'd rather give me the ni-n***a-please award But I'll just take the I-got-alotta-cheese award [Hook] [Verse 3] I know that people wouldn't usually rap this But I got the facts to back this Just last year, Chicago had over 600 caskets Man, k**ing's some wack sh** Oh, I forgot, 'cept for when n***as is rapping Do you know what it feel like when people is pa**ing He got changed over his chains, a block off Ashland I need to talk to somebody, pastor The church want tithe, so I can't afford to pay Pink slip on my door, cause I can't afford to stay My fifteen seconds up, but I got more to say "That's enough Mr. West, please no more today" [Hook]
