[Kid Cudi]

Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly drifting away from me

I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down



Not for nothing I’ve forseen it, I dream it

I can feel it slowly dripping away from me

No more chances if you blow this, you bogus

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down



[Kanye West - Verse 1]

Penitentiary chances, the devil dances

and eventually answers to the call of Autumn

all of them fallin’ for the love of ballin’

got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin

inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums

based off the way we was branded

face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon

and at the airport they check all through my bag and tell me that it’s random

but we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage

I need a happy ending and a new beginning

and a new fitted and some job opportunities thats lucrative



this the real world, homie, school finished

they done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it

I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS

I won’t be satisfied til all my n-ggas get it, get it?



[Kid Cudi]

Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly drifting away from me

I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down



[Kanye West - Verse 2]

Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion

the soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing

this is more than just my road to redemption

Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention

as long as I’m in Polo’s they think they got me

but they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me

I thought I chose a field where they couldn’t sack me

if a n-gga aint running shootin a jump shot running a track meet

but this pimp is, ar the top of mount Olympus

ready for the World’s game, this is my Olympics

we make ‘em say ho cause the game is so pimpish

choke a southpark writer with a fishstick

I insisted to get up offa this d-ck

and these drugs, fans cant resist it

remind me of when they tried to have Ali enlisted

if I ever one of the greatest n-gga, I must have missed it!



[Kid Cudi]

Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it

I can feel it slowly drifting away from me

I’m on the edge, so why you playing? I’m saying

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down



[Kanye West - Verse 3]

I need more drinks and less lights

and that American Apparal girl in just tights

she told the director she tryna get in a school

he said “take them glasses off and get in the pool”

it’s been a while since I watched the tube

cause like a crip set, I got way too many blues for anymore bad news

I was looking at my resume feeling real fresh today

they rewrite history I don’t believe in yesterday

and what’s a black beetle anyway, a f-cking roach

I guess thats why they got me sitting in f-cking coach

but God said I need a different approach

cause people is looking at me like I’m sniffing coke

it aint funny anymore try dipping jokes

tell ‘em hug and kiss my ass, x and o

kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I’m got it

play strings for the dramatic

and end all of that wack sh-t

act like I aint had a belt in two classes

I aint got it I’m going after whoever who has it

I’m coming after whoever who has it

you blowing up, that’s good, fantastic

that y’all, its like that ya’ll

I don’t really give a f-ck about it at all

cause the same people that tried to black ball me

forgot about 2 things, my black balls



[Kid Cudi - Chorus]



[Raekwon]

I know cops, hems is lifting lenses

kid, Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes

counting up, smoking, one cuff

live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbing a blunt, f-ck it

steam about a hundred and one L’s

kites off the jails, buying sweats, running up in Stetson

n-gga hat game was special

it matched every black pair of Nikes

throwing dice for decimals

the older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head

make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead

got made code red

break up the black skunk

the black dutch, back of the old shed

if you can’t live, you dying

you give or buy in

keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding

keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan

learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye



[Kid Cudi]

Not for nothing I’ve forseen it, I dream it

I can feel it slowly dripping away from me

no more chances if you blow this, you bogus

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
