Believe What I Say
Kanye West Lyrics

Yo, yo (check our situation)
Hey there, pay attention to what's happening

Yo, my men and my women (Yo) Yo, yo (check our situation) My men and my wom-
Addressing everyone, listen up and be aware of the circumstances

You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon
You must have something surprising, an unconventional approach

You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected
You need to be able to ask for protection and still feel safe

Just one time for the record, just one time for the record
This is something that needs to be made clear

Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods
You may not like the message, but don't condemn the methods

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down
Don't let the way you live your life get you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love
It's been a while since you've experienced true love

One last sparkle to follow in my light
There's still a glimmer of hope to look forward to

Man, it's too early What the hell you doin' wakin' me up at 5:30? Why the hell are you worried? Play somethin' that is very, very vibe-worthy I don't want my mind alerting
You're disturbing me too early in the morning, what's the reason? Just play something calming and don't wake my mind up

People sayin' tweetin' gonna make you die early How 'bout have my heart hurtin'? Hold it all inside, that could make you die early
People say that tweeting can harm your well-being, but suppressing your emotions could also be detrimental

Go on and get your best attorney Something's there, feel it when I heard it Just release the spirit, let it flow though How these n- leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo?
Get your best defense, I sense something valuable, let it flow through you, it'll be amazing to see how many people leave with one leg like Flo-Jo

Nail me to the cross with long nails, like Coco Free Throat Coat for the throat goats
Try to nail me to the cross, but I'll take care of my voice

Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo I ain't got my point across 'Til we finally get the cross and pass the point So there's a couple things that I gotta quote
I'll do it alone if I have to, without trying to promote it. I won't stop until my point is clear and we've gone beyond the point of no return. There are some things I need to say

Don't involve yourself in things you don't have to know I ain't never question what you was askin' for I gave you every single thing you was askin' for I don't understand how anybody could ask for more
Don't concern yourself with things that are none of your business. You asked for something, and I gave it to you. How can you ask for more?

Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off I be goin' through things I had to wrote Celebrity drama that only Brad'll know Too many family secrets, somebody passin' notes Things I cried about, I found laughable
I have a long list of things to deal with, but I just laugh it off. I write about my experiences, including some of the drama that only I know about. There are too many family secrets, and someone is passing notes. Things that used to make me cry, now seem like something to laugh about

Lil' baby Jesus, ain't laughin', no Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know The big man upstairs ain't laughin', no Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know
Even Jesus isn't amused, and God doesn't want you to involve yourself in things you don't need to know about

Now here we are You know I'm not about it Showed you my all I let you into my thoughts
We've reached this point, and you know I'm serious. I've given you everything, including my thoughts

One last sparkle to follow in my light (right on) One last sparkle to follow
There's still a beam of light to follow, there's still hope to be found.

"Okay, I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived By some dude who's more rather into greed Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha You said that I lie, how did I? I told you everything, didn't I? But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no My back ain't against the wall" (the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall)
I didn't get angry when you told me you wanted to leave. I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe me. He was easily able to trick you, as he's more interested in material things. He played with your emotions, and you accused me of deceit. You said I was lying, when I told you everything. I'm so annoyed with how you let your friends get into your head even when we're together. Your mind's elsewhere, and you claim to care. I'm laughing at you thinking you've got me cornered. My back isn't against the wall
