Kanye West - Amen lyrics

[Produced by Shawty Redd] [Intro] In the midst of negativity A positive sight can be blurred And the visions that we thought were good Seems to let evil occur While still possessing our human form We live life searching for greatness since the day we was born And as we bow our heads at night, rich, wealthy Or poor with dislike, we pray, asking for Forgiveness for our sinful ways With mind, body, spirit and faith, we pray Amen [Interlude: Young Jeezy] Yeah (amen) you like that right? (amen) I wrote it myself by the way (amen) Yo Young, Jeezy, Jizzle, Snowman (amen, amen) We gotta give the streets what they want, man (amen) f** the goddamn sh** (amen) You gotta get it in, bruh, let's get it (amen) [Verse 1: Kanye West] You like that don't you? I wrote it myself by the way And I don't mean to be selfish But I picture myself getting paid And you might catch pneumonia Cause I'm colder than a elf on a sleigh Me and Pusha back on it Now everybody help us pray Lord forgive my sins and all my friends Dollars make sense, I'm trying to get paid [Verse 2: Pusha T] Trying to get saved (too late!) time to get paid Got a gun and a stocking mask n***as thought I was trying to get waves I'mma let all ya'll n***as pray for it My young n***as knocking off a K for it Sold my soul on the back-end Only f**ing way I'mma pay for it Front that sh**, you put a flame on My n***as locked in a cage for They keep telling me to go hard #1 spot you was made for Yuugh! I made more Front of the grill, got a racehorse California Crayola red "Glow In The Dark" like a Ye tour f** n***as stepping in my lane for Not knowing that it's a land mine Soon as a n***a feels a cool breeze Throw the top up like a gang sign Red or blue, Crip or Blood Solitaires, diamond studs Like chandeliers I'mma flood Black Jesus piece like it's dipped in mud Fashion gods, notice mine Rollerball spikes, I'm Pokémon Paris sh**, Louboutin Under bright lights, where do you belong?
