Bring Me Down
Kanye West¿ÏÑÇ¡¤Î¤Ë¹ÌØ Lyrics

I always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
I have always had a gut feeling that someone or something will eventually try to ruin my success.

Way down, way down
The force that will attempt to bring me down will try to do so to the point that I will feel completely defeated.

We gon' to mass today, we have to pray
Today we are going to church and it's important that we pray for strength, guidance, and protection.

Besides what the pastor say, I have to say
Although the pastor may preach certain things, I have my own thoughts and beliefs that I need to express and stay true to.

Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me
Many musicians in my industry aren't worth my time, effort or creativity in producing music that I have devoted much of my life to.

You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything
If you aspire to be successful, respected or accomplish anything, there will always be people who will try to tear you down to their level of mediocrity.

There'll always be somebody that shoot down any dream
There will never be a shortage of people who will degrade or discourage any hopeful or ambitious aspirations I may have.

There'll always be haters, that's the way it is
There will always be individuals who dislike or are resentful of me and my accomplishments, but I won't let that bring me down.

Hater n***** marry hater b****** and have hater kids
Those who spend their lives hating others typically end up with partners who share the same qualities, passing on their toxic mentality to their offspring.

But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive
No matter what happens, no one can diminish or change the amount of passion and determination I have towards achieving my goals.

'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive
During times when I had practically nothing, the thought of a better life and success kept me going and allowed me to eventually overcome my hardships.

Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time
The possibility of a brighter future and better circumstances motivates me to keep pushing forward and striving towards success.

Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind
I must escape the struggles and endless grind of my daily life before it drives me insane or depletes the passion I have towards my career and life ambitions.

And get some leeway on the he say, she say
I need to distance myself from rumors, gossip, and drama that can potentially take away from my focus and drive towards success.

Your girl don't like me, how long has she been gay?
I don't care if a woman who dislikes me is actually a lesbian or not, as it has no relevance to anything important in my life.

Spanish girls say "Yo, no hablo inglés"
Occasionally, women who don't understand English will use that as an excuse to avoid conversation or interaction with me.

And everybody want to run to me for their single
Many people in the music industry seek me out to collaborate or produce tracks for them due to my reputation and success.

It's funny how these wack n***** need my help
It's amusing how untalented and unsuccessful musicians still want my assistance in furthering their careers.

Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Those who didn't support or help me during the toughest moments of my life don't have the right to seek my help now that I'm successful.

Dawg, if I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
If I were in someone else's position, I wouldn't have the audacity to feel entitled or deserving of my success without giving credit to the hard work and dedication it took to get there.

Dawg, if I was you, I'd kill myself
If I were in someone else's position, I wouldn't have the strength or willpower to handle the struggles and hardships they may have faced.

Made a mil' myself and I'm still myself
Despite having made millions, I haven't let that change who I am as a person or the way I handle success and life in general.

And I'mma look in the mirror if I need some help
If I ever need guidance, I always turn to myself and reflect on my own beliefs and values to gain clarity and insight.

Y'all don't from the heart, y'all all frontin'
Most people in my industry lack true passion and dedication towards their craft, instead choosing to put on a front or appearance to gain success.

Everybody feel a way about K but at least y'all feel something
Regardless of how people may feel towards me and my personality, at least they feel something and recognize me as a person of influence or importance.

Why you come here
Why have you come here to try and bring me down?

I bet it only it was forget to get you
I'm willing to bet that you only came here to try and bring me down after forgetting about me until now.

What kind of dream we found
What new plan or scheme have you come up with to try and take me down?

See I'm often at your cross ways
We seem to always be at odds or in conflict with each other.

Forgetting it was that Heaven let ya
You seem to forget that any success or blessings you may have received are ultimately a gift from a higher power.

They'd tried to bring me down
People have attempted to knock me down before, but I won't allow it to happen.
