Gorgeous
Kanye West ft Kid Cudi Raekwo Lyrics

Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
There is no doubt that I desire and require it

I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I can sense that it is gradually moving further from my grasp

I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I am at the brink, so why are you pretending? I am expressing

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
I will persistently remind you of this failure, failure, failure

Not for nothing I've foreseen it, I've dreamed it
Not without reason, I have predicted it, envisioned it

No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
There will be no further opportunities if you fail at this, you are deceitful

Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
Risks of ending up in prison, evil celebrates

And eventually answers to the call of Autumn
And ultimately responds to the influence of decline and downfall

All of them fallin' for the love of ballin'
All of them succumbing to the allure of materialistic success

Got caught with thirty rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
Caught with thirty pieces of crack cocaine, the police officer resembles Alec Baldwin

Inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
Anthems of the present era that stem from outbursts of frustration within urban areas

Based off the way we was branded
Derived from the manner in which we were labeled and categorized

Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
Accept it, Jerome receives a longer prison sentence than Brandon

And at the airport they check all through my bag and
And at the airport, they meticulously inspect the contents of my bag

Tell me that it's random
Claiming that it is by chance

But we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
But we continue to prevail, this week has been a disappointing experience

I need a happy ending and a new beginning
I desire a favorable outcome and a fresh start

And a new fitted and some job opportunities that's lucrative
And a new hat and employment prospects that are financially rewarding

This the real world, homie, school finished
This is the harsh reality, my friend, formal education is no longer relevant

They done stole your dreams, you dunno' who did it
They have taken away your aspirations, you are unaware of the culprits

I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I handle money in the same manner that the government deals with the AIDS epidemic

I won't be satisfied til all my niggas get it, get it?
I will not be content until all my friends obtain success, understand?

Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion
Is hip hop, simply a substitute term for a modern belief system

The soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing
The soulful music for the oppressed individuals that the younger generation lacks

This is more than just my road to redemption
This signifies a journey beyond my personal salvation

Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention
Malcolm West captivated the entire nation and commanded their full focus

As long as I'm in Polo's smilin' they think they got me
As long as I'm dressed in Polo and wearing a smile, they believe they have control over me

But they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me
However, they would attempt to break me down if they ever encounter my true black identity

I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
I believed I selected a profession where they couldn't dismiss me

If a nigga ain't running shootin' a jump or running a track meet
If an individual is not engaged in running, shooting, or participating in a track competition

But this pimp is, at the top of mount Olympus
But this hustler is, positioned at the pinnacle of success

Ready for the World's game, this is my Olympics
Prepared for the challenges of life, this is my moment of greatness

We make 'em say ho cause the game is so pimpish
We make them exclaim 'ho' because the industry is so exploitative

Choke a southpark writer with a fishstick
Strangle a writer from South Park with a fishstick

I insisted to get up offa this dick
I demanded to remove themselves from my influence

And these drugs, niggas cant resist it
And these drugs, individuals can't resist its allure

Remind me of when they tried to have Ali enlisted
Evoke memories of when they attempted to conscript Muhammad Ali

If I ever one of the greatest nigga, I must have missed it!
If I ever became one of the greatest, man, I must have overlooked it!

I need more drinks and less lights
I require more alcoholic beverages and fewer distractions

And that American Apparel girl in just tights
And that young lady from American Apparel wearing only tights

She told the director she tryna get in a school
She informed the director that she is attempting to enroll in a university

He said 'take them glasses off and get in the pool'
He responded with 'remove your glasses and join the swimming pool'

It's been a while since I watched the tube
It has been some time since I watched television

Cause like a crip said, 'I got way too many blues for any more bad news'
Because as a member of the Crips gang said, 'I have an excess of problems for any additional negative information'

I was looking at my resume feeling real fresh today
I was reviewing my accomplishments and feeling genuinely confident today

They rewrite history I don't believe in yesterday
They manipulate the past, but I have no faith in what has already occurred

And what's a black beetle anyway, a fucking roach
And after all, what is a black beetle but a goddamn cockroach

I guess that's why they got me sitting in fucking coach
I suppose that's why they have me seated in the economy class section

But God said I need a different approach
But God said I require an alternate strategy

Cause people is looking at me like I'm sniffing coke
Because people are scrutinizing me as if I am using cocaine

It ain't funny anymore try different jokes
It is no longer amusing, attempt different forms of humor

Tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, x and o
Inform them to embrace and smooch my posterior, x and o

And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it
And also kiss the ring while they are at it, allow me to pursue my passions while I am capable

Play strings for the dramatic
Manipulate emotions through melodious instruments

Endening that wack shit
Ending that terrible, subpar content

Act like I ain't had a belt in two classes
Pretend as if I have not earned a championship title in two disciplines

I ain't got it I'm coming after whoever who has it
I do not possess it, I am pursuing whoever possesses it

You blowing up, that's good, fantastic
You are achieving great success, that's positive, amazing

That y'all, its like that y'all
That is the way it is, it is just like that

I don't really give a fuck about it at all
I truly do not care about it whatsoever

Cause the same people that tried to black ball me
Because the exact individuals who attempted to block my success

Forgot about two things, my black balls
Neglected to consider two important aspects, my courage and tenacity

Aye yo
Hey, listen

I don't cop Timbs, that's lived in lenses
I do not purchase Timberland boots, that's a worn-out trend

Kid, Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benz's
Young man, Armani suits, ripe fruits, Bally boots, and luxury cars

Counting up, smoking, one cuff
Counting money, smoking marijuana, with one wrist restrained

Live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbing a blunt, fuck it
Living life with a red Jaguar car, a Louis Vuitton bag, while holding a marijuana joint, disregard it

Steam about a hundred and one L's
Consume or smoke around one hundred and one marijuana blunts

Kites off the jails, buying sweats, running up in Stetson
Messages from prison, purchasing comfortable clothing, rushing into action while wearing Stetson hats

Nigga hat game was special
Dressing with distinct and remarkable headwear

It matched every black pair of Nike's
The headwear coordinated with every pair of black Nike sneakers

Throwing dice for decimals
Engaging in a gambling activity for small monetary values

The older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head
The more experienced and audacious individual would mentor a determined and disciplined individual

Make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead
Ensuring that he is skilled in the relevant domain, preventing him from becoming a deceased soldier

Got made code red
Received an urgent distress signal

Bent off the black skunk
Intoxicated from smoking strong marijuana

The black dutch, back of the old shed
The dark-colored cigar, located at the rear of the dilapidated structure

If you can't live, you dying
If you cannot enjoy life, you are essentially experiencing death

You give or buy in
You either contribute or surrender to the circumstances

Keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding
Remain sincere or continue progressing, persistently striving

Keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan
Continue to radiate light and success, to every young man, consider it a strategy

Learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye
Gain knowledge from individuals such as your brothers Rae and Kanye

I will never ever let you live this down, down, down
I will never allow you to forget or escape the consequences of this failure, failure, failure
