The-Dream - Everything lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream] You'll live and you'll learn See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else You'll live and you'll learn See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else [Chorus: Kanye West] If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah [Post-Chorus: The-Dream and Kanye West] Dark boy, don't you cry There's too much life left in those eyes Don't you let that face go waterfall Don't you learn to love your scars and all Dark boy, don't you die, they're just human, let them lie You just know your world and speak your truth Let them come to you, for your love and your heart See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else This is your court, there are no laws See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else [Chorus: Kanye West] If I had everything, everything I could change anything, I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah [Verse 1: Nas] When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black Beloved brother, you fail to embarra** him, hara**in' him To my life, your life pales in comparison So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God Do what's necessary, I'm never worried Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture You convinced most of my people to live off emotion That's why we competin' d**h by the chrome barrel, forgot the secrets My Kilimanjaro bone marrow's the deepest You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that We want freedom, I'm a scholar, an almanac People do anything to be involved in everything Inclusion is a hell of a drug Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life And never have enough [Chorus: Kanye West] If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah [Verse 2: Nas] From the birth of a child, the world is foul Excursions of a searchin' child Should learn to take nothin' personal A parent hates to watch his baby's face Takin' his first immunization shots, but this is great The child's introduction to suffering and pain Understands without words Nothin' is explained or rushed to the brain Lookin' up at his parents' face Like, "I thought you would protect me from this scary place?" "Why'd you let them inject me?" "Who's gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?" Who knew I would grow to meet presidents that respect me? If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please don't arrest me I need to use your restroom and I ain't buy no espresso Soon enough, a**ume the cuffs, the position Not new to us, since back on the bus sittin' Said "Screw that bus!" – boycotted that bus outta business The future's us, yet every citizen's in prison [Chorus: Kanye West] If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah [Verse 3: Nas] Watch me as I walk through the folly, golly, New York to Saudi In Italy, I'm Eduardo Wiccari But Nasty the hustler, nasty like mustard gas, sulfur And I could sell Alaska to Russia, no pressure My first house, 11,000-square-feet mansion It was a haunted by dead rich whites Mad a n***a bought his crib to hang up pictures of black Christ Circular driveways, black cars and black ice My second house, still in my twenties, illin' with money Chilled through my spine, spillin' wine, it's funny Did good for a staircase loiterer, euphoria What you saw when you seen a teen turn to a warrior Did every Fourth of July, bustin' in the sky It was important to a guy who was mob-minded Future Murcielago driver 'til Lambos got average on me I started likin' the look like I ain't had no money Yellow taxi seats over Maybach seats Just to remind me, just to inspire me To stay focused, it's a real sick society Just 'cause I got your support don't mean you're buyin' me I'm buyin' back the land owned by the slave masters Where my ancestors lived, just to say a rapper Made a change; the pants-sagger put plans in action 'Til they claim the Pan-African made it happen [Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream] You'll live and you'll learn See 'cause you've never been the same anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else You'll live and you'll learn See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else [Chorus: Kanye West] If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah [Post-Chorus: The-Dream and Kanye West] Dark boy, don't you cry, there's too much life left in those eyes Don't you let that face go waterfall Don't you learn to love your scars and all Dark boy, don't you die They're just human, let them lie You just know your world and speak your truth And let them come to you For your love and your heart See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else This is your court, there are no laws See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else
