Believe What I Say

Lyrics of Believe What I Say by Kanye West

Intro

(Yo) yo (check our situation), yo

My men and my women

(Yo) yo (check our situation), yo

My men and my wom-

Verse

You need something unexpected (yo, yo), some form of weapon

You ask him to feel protected (yo, yo), and still feel protected

Just one time for the record (yo, yo), just one time for the record

Don′t agree with the message (yo, yo), don't agree with the methods

Chorus

Don′t let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow

Verse

Man, it's too early

What the hell you doing waking me up at 5:30?

Why the hell are you worried?

Play something that is very, very vibe-worthy

I don′t want my mind alerting

People saying tweeting gonna make you die early

How ′bout have my heart hurting?

Hold it all inside, that could make you die early

Verse

Go on and get your best attorney

Something's there, feel it when I heard it

Just release the spirit, let it flow though

Have these n- leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo

Nail me to the cross with long nails like Coco

Free Throat Coat for the throat goats

Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo

Verse

I ain′t got my point across

'Til we finally get the cross and pass the point

So there′s a couple things that I gotta quote

Don't involve yourself in things you don′t have to know

I ain't never question what you was asking for

I gave you every single thing you was asking for

I don't understand how anybody could ask for more

Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off

Verse

I be going through things I had to wrote

Celebrity drama that only Brad′d know

Too many family secrets, somebody pass the notes

Things I cried about I found laughable

Lil′ baby Jesus ain't laughing, no

Don′t involve yourself in things that you ain't have to know

The big man upstairs ain′t laughing, no

Don't involve yourself in things that you ain′t have to know

Bridge

Now here we are

You know I'm not about it

Showed you my all

I let you into my thoughts

Chorus

Don't let, don′t let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow in love

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow

Bridge

Okay, I didn′t throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave

I told you I loved you, but she didn't believe

You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived

By some dude who′s more rather into greed

Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs

Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha

Bridge

You said that I lie, how did I?

I told you everything, didn′t I?

But you just could not believe... man, I'm so peeved

Your friends all up in your head even when we′re in bed

Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha

I'm laughing at you all, you think you got me? No, no

My back ain′t against the wall (the wall...)

Chorus

Don′t let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love

One last sparkle to follow in my light (right on, right on)

One last sparkle to follow
