Kanye West Lyrics

Ayy, y'all heard about the good news?
Are you aware of the positive things that have occurred?

Y'all sleeping on me, huh? Had a good snooze?
Have you been unaware of my talents and achievements?

Wake up, nigga, wake up
Become aware of what is happening and take action.

We bout to get this paper
We are going to make a lot of money.

Money never made me
My motivation and values are not centered around money.

Make me do something? Nah, can't make me
Money cannot force me to do something I am not willing to do.

Even if the money low, can't pay me
Even if the pay is low, I will not work for it.

Even if the money low, can't play me
Even if the pay is low, I still have self-respect and will not let others take advantage of me.
