Nate Hertweck - Everything I Am lyrics

[Produced by Kanye West] [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 the 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 Chauncey Remember him from Blackstreet? He was as black as the street was I'll 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 a big role in Chicago like Queen Latifah? I'll never rock a mink coat in the wintertime like k**a Cam Or rock some mink boots in the summertime 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 the 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 Ok, fair enough, the streets is flaring up Cause they want gun talk, or I don't wear enough Baggy clothes, Reeboks, 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 India Arie Award They'd rather give me the N-n***a Please Award But I'll just take the I Got a Lot of Cheese Award [Hook] 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 the sh** hit the fan Everything I'm not made me everything I am [Verse 3] I know 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 rappin' Do you know what it feel like when people is pa**in'? 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] 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 Talking sh**, but when the sh** hit the fan Everything I'm not made me everything I am
