Who Gon Stop Me
Jay-Z - Kanye West Lyrics

This is something like the Holocaust
This is a comparison to something as severe as the Holocaust.

Millions of our people lost
Many people were lost in this situation being described.

Bow our heads and pray to the lord
We must show reverence and pray to our higher power in times of danger.

Til I die I'm a fuckin' ball
I will live my life to the fullest and enjoy it to the end.

Now who gon stop me?
Who has the power to prevent me from achieving my goals?

Who gon stop me huh?
Who is brave enough to try to stop me?

Who gon stop me?
Who has the power to prevent me from achieving my goals?

Black cards, black cars, black on black, black broads
I have wealth and luxuries in abundance, including women.

Whole lotta money in a black bag
I have a lot of money stored away in a safe location.

Black strap, you know what that's for?
Do you know the uses of a black weapon strap?

No brakes, I need, State Farm
I can't slow down, so I need insurance from State Farm to protect me.

So many watches I need eight arms
I have so many watches that it would take eight arms to wear them all.

One neck but got eight charms
I have many different chains to wear on my neck.

Niggaas talkin', they bitch made, Ix-nay off my dicks-nay
People are gossiping, but they should stop talking about me behind my back.

That's pig-Latin, itch-bay
That's pig-Latin, which translates roughly to 'shut up'.

Last night ain't go so well
I had a rough night last night.

Got kicked up out the hotel
I was evicted from my hotel room.

Got a little freaky like Marvin Albert
I got a little crazy and wild, similar to what Marvin Albert was known for.

Yes! Tell Howard Cosell
Tell everyone, just like how Howard Cosell would report on news.

You just a commentator, if you get me paper
You are only a commentator unless you can help me make money.

Everybody I know from the hood got common haters
Everyone from my community has the same types of enemies.

In some relations, you just supposed to say none
Sometimes, in certain situations, it's best to not say anything at all.

Heard she fucked the doorman
I heard she had a sexual encounter with the doorman.

Well that's cool I fucked the waitress
That's fine because I had consensual sex with a waitress.

Heard Yeezy was racist, well, I guess it's on one basis
I heard rumors that Yeezy is prejudiced, but perhaps it's only true in one instance.

I only like green faces
Money is the most important to me.

Y'all weed purple, my money purple
You smoke purple weed, but my paper money is purple too.

Y'all Steve Urkel, I'm Oprah circle
You're nerdy like Steve Urkel, but I'm prominent like Oprah.

I wrote the verse, that I hope will hurt you
I composed lyrics that I hope will emotionally damage you.

Beat the odds, beat the feds
I beat the odds and won despite the feds.

It wouldn't be wise, to bet against the kid
You shouldn't underestimate me and bet against my success.

Start me broke, I bet I get rich
Even though I started with nothing, I bet I'll become wealthy.

Night shift, six to six
I work the night shift from 6PM to 6AM.

Gimmie one shot, one pot
Give me one chance and I'll make it big.

I'll show up in all white, wearing no socks
I'll dress to impress, even going sockless for style purposes.

No ceiling, new coupe
I have an open mind and a new car to match.

They know I'm a dope boy, they don't have no proof
People suspect me of drug dealing, but they have no evidence.

I'm 3 steps removed, I know how to move
I'm distanced from illegal activity, but I know how to smartly navigate.

It's looking like I don't know how to lose
I'm winning so much that it seems like I'm unbeatable.

I'm winning again, I'm at the Wynn
I'm once again succeeding, and presently at the Wynn hotel.

I'm at the table, I'm gambling, lucky lefty, I expect a seven
I'm gambling with high hopes, being a lucky left-handed person, expecting good results.

I went through hell, I'm expecting heaven, I'm owed
I've already experienced a lot of hardship, and I deserve to be rewarded for it.

See I'm thorough and I stuck to the G-code
I'm meticulous and adhere to the code of my community.

I'm here, oh yeah, I promise I ain't going nowhere
I will keep my word and remain here, not leaving anytime soon.

Okay here, like a hare, like a rabbit, I like karats
I'm present, like a fast-running rabbit, and I love diamonds.

I'm allergic to having bunny ears
I refuse to appear weak or submissive to anyone.

Like broke, like nope, like ha
I'm not interested in being broke, not inclined to agree, and dismissive with a laugh.

I ain't no joke, I can't be stopped
I'm serious about my endeavors and cannot be obstructed.

Like nope, like nope
I'm very firm and absolute in my decisions.

Extend the beat Noah
Keep going with the beat Noah, don't stop yet.

2 seats in the 911 uh, no limit on the black card ah
I have two seats in my Porsche, and no spending limit on my black credit card.

Told y'all I was gonna go HAM uh, to the ocean was my backyard eh
I promised to go hard, and even have the ocean as my background scenery.

No lies in my verses hey, please pardon all the curses hey
I have no falsehoods in my words, but apologize for any obscenities.

Shit gotta come some way, fuck, when you growing up worthless uh
You have to do what you can to succeed when you grow up in a disadvantaged state.

Middle finger to my old life ugh, special shout out to my old head uh
I'm done with my old life and mentality, but have respect for those who helped me.

If it wasn't for your advice uh, a nigga would have been so dead uh
I thank you for saving me from potential danger.

I'm living life, 'til these niggas kill me
I'll keep living my life to the fullest, until someone prevents me from doing so.

Turn this up, if these niggas feel me
Increase the volume if you relate to and support my message.

I'm riding dirty, trying to get filthy
I'm taking risks to become wealthy.

Pabalo Picasso, Rothkos, Rilkes
I appreciate and respect the works of these influential artists.

Graduated to the MoMA
I've achieved the ultimate goal for an artist, admission to the Museum of Modern Art.

And I did all of this, without a diploma
I accomplished all of this success without having a higher education degree.

Graduated from the corner, y'all can play me
I may have started from a lowly place, but I won't allow anyone to disrespect me.

For a motherfuckin' fool if you wanna
You'd be foolish to try and disrespect me.

Street smart, and I'm book smart
I am knowledgeable in both street and academic matters.

Could have been a chemist, 'cause I cook smart
I have the intelligence to be a chemist, but use it in a smart way in my own endeavors.

Only thing that can stop me is me, and I'm a stop when the hook start, hold up
I am the only one who can prevent myself from achieving my goals, but I won't stop yet because the hook is starting.

Til I die, I'm a fuckin' ball
I'm going to live my life to the fullest until I can't anymore.
