Kanye, can I talk to you for a minute?
Me and the other faculty members was wondering
Could you do a lil' some'

Something that the kids is gon' love when they hear it
That's gonna make 'em start jumping up and down
And sharing candy and stuff
Think you could probably do something for the kids


For graduation to sing?

Lyrics:
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight

And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean

And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams

And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven O'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hotlines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

Find your dreams come true

These dreams be waking me up at night

You say I think I'm never wrong

You know what? Maybe you're right, aight?

And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
And I wonder

You say he get on your fuckin' nerves

You hope that he get what he deserves, word

I'm a star, how could I not shine? (And I wonder)

How many ladies in the house? (If you know)
How many ladies in the house without a spouse? (What it means)
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused (What it means)
What you about? (And I wonder)
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids (What it means)
You ever wonder what it all really mean?
You wonder if you'll ever find your dreams

Me everytime i see some news about him

Se7enEi8htNin9

@Felipe Moraes nah, that’s a dumb take. You can like his music (lord knows I still do)but his comments on Jewish people recently are kinda fucked up

Tony Garcia

@Se7enEi8htNin9 exactly. Its just separating the art from the artist.

Abezebethou

@Se7enEi8htNin9 he was proven right in the end
