XV - Everybody lyrics

[Kanye West Intro]: I just got off the plane Chicago. It's your boy Kanye West on the beat [Chorus]: Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen [Verse One]: On the school bus I used to write mad hooks Walked around lunch carrying a rap book Hoes ain't care n***as gave me mad looks Cause they know that my flow had they a** shook Graduated, broke up with my team They was after a wish, I was after a dream And I ain't even look back at the loss of friends Cause I live by success is the best revenge It's like, once you leave high school what can you do? Get a job or just go to school But this dude I made a business and love it So if you ask if I got a job, hell I'm the owner of it Uh huh [Chorus]: Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen [Verse Two]: I went from acting like a pen was a mic To making three thou in the morning spending it all in a night Give your dog a light, he gotta see what I'm doing here Taking cats out the game like music chairs Back in the day chicks only used to stare Cause I had something on me, or, I ain't do my hair And now they stare like, "That there's X." Make bets on who's gonna be my boo next Yep This is something in the making Something that we taking, a new elevation And if we with me then throw up your crown But if you hated in the past, keep throwing it down [Chorus]: Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen [Verse Three]: You k** a dream we build a dream They ain't wanna sign me so I built a team Now every label wanna find me I used to not have a video Till me and Bling formed a team like Eddie and Arsenio Oh Lord have mercy If grandma could see me now, she'd would probably try to beat me down Running round, picking girls out the crowd Acting an a**, screaming curse words loud To my teachers who laughed at my dream Now look To my principle who expelled me Now look To the system that said I be back Locked up or on the streets selling crack Now look Throw your hands in the sky [Chorus]: Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen Everybody said that I wouldn't blow Everybody said that I couldn't flow Everybody said that and then they said this and Good thing I never ever listen
