[Kanye West] ("Make It Up") We can make it better ("Make It Up") We can make it better ("Make It Up") We can make it better ("Make It Up") We can make it [Verse 1: Kanye West] Somebody told me that Delta's brownskinned, AKAs' lightskinned And they supposed to be bougie, so they got white friends First day of school, I'mma take you sight seein' Show you what we do on weekends for excitement She said, "I know what you about to say, like your hypeman" Last year a n***a hit her, and now she only date white men And if a n***a even wave at her, it's frightnin' but [Hook: Kanye West] ("Make It Up") We can make it better (Better we can) ("Make It Up") We can make it better (Better we can make it on up, we can) ("Make It Up") We can make it better (Better we can) ("Make It Up") We can make it [Verse 2: Talib Kweli] The night fallin' over Brooklyn, where they murder for change The converter remains faithful to the drugdealer priestess He in search of the word of fame, you heard of the name Kweli the truth, like I'm comin' out the mouths of babes One foot in, one foot out the grave n***as want they reperations, How you calculate the amount to be paid You try to imagine America without the slaves (the slaves) [Hook: Kanye West] [Verse 3: Q-Tip] Her tenament yo, is rat infested Her heart is like a gold bullion cause she went and protested Cause, her bestfriend's man got popped He was sixteen years old, the cop thought his phone was a Glock In the hood is a everday happenin' In front of the precinct she chews out the captain She yelled out "Why you do this to black men?" [Hook: Kanye West] [Verse 4: Common] I think of eighty seven ways, to make better days Whether crime or rhyme, I heard the rebel pays On the scene, tryin' to get green like everglades The music, ridin' it good like the Escalades In the ghetto infested by shade and drama And n***as wit' thangs ain't afraid of karma I'm thinkin' big like Lil Wayne in The Carter [Hook: Kanye West] [Verse 5: Rhymefest] C'mon; Tell people the truth, but never give 'em ya true thoughts Terrorism on blacks, they poison our Newports Partiot Act in effect, make it hard to breathe now Johnnie Cochran dead, who gonna get us us free now? Clinton ain't in office, who gon' give us sh** free now? Who gon' make it better for the thugs in the penal? Who gon' make it good for old folks that's senile? Oh, it's good music, yeah dog I see now [Hook: Kanye West]
