Kanye West - Self Conscious lyrics

Now you know you got to turn this super loud
Come on, now, let's go, uh

Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Okay, uh, let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(yeah, uh, uh, uh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Smokin' right here, yeah, uh, uh)

I know you're wondering
How is Kanye spitting so hot?
'Cause I listen to the Roc
And I listen and watch
And the first thing I copped
Was a glistening watch
Off that Blueprint money, yeah


I know I'm a dummy
But what I'm supposed to tell
A girl in the club
While that ass is getting feeled on?
What, I bought a couple build-ons?
Seems like I got more brain off my
Fake chain than my real one
'Cause on the real, son
If a girl think you broke
She just want to fuck and smoke
If you paid then she's
Thinking 'bout her children, feel him?
Probably not, though, 'less you got dough
You know what I mean
You would think the grass greener
When you finally get green

Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Okay, okay, uh

Man, I promise, she's so self conscious
She has no idea what she doing in college
That major that she majored in
Don't make no money but she won't drop out
Her parents will look at her funny
Now, tell me that ain't insecure
The concept of school seems so secure
Sophomore three years, ain't picked a career
She like, "Fuck it
I'll just stay down here and do hair"
'Cause that's enough money to buy her
A few pairs of new Airs
'Cause her baby daddy don't really care
She's so precious with the peer pressure
Couldn't afford a car so she
Named her daughter Alexis
She had hair so long that
It looked like weave
Then she cut it all off
Now she look like Eve
And she be dealing with some
Issues that you can't believe
Single black female addicted to retail and

Now let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, uh, take 'em, take 'em to the lake
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah uh uh, and say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now take 'em downtown
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now take 'em back to the southside uh, uh

Man, I promise, I'm so self conscious
That's why you always see me with
At least one of my watches
Rollies and Pashas done drove me crazy
I can't even pronounce nothing
Pass that Versace
Then I spent four hundred bucks on this
Just to be like, "Nigga
You ain't up on this!"
Plus, I refuse go to the grocery store
Without some ones that's clean and
A shirt with a team
It seem we living the American dream
But the people highest up got
The lowest self esteem
The prettiest people do the ugliest things
For the road to riches and diamond rings
We shine because they hate us
Floss 'cause they degrade us
We tryna buy back our forty acres
And for that paper, look how low we'll stoop
Even if you in a Benz
You still a nigga in a Coupe

Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Take 'em to up, uh, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now, take 'em up, what?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh, turn the music hi-i-i-igher
Let me hear you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah okay, uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah uh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah uh, uh, uh
Now let me hear you say (And, uh, and, uh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(I decided to quit fucking with you, umm)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Wack ass niggas and, umm)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Hating ass, dream killing ass niggas)

And since I quit everyone that supported me
Thank you very much
And everyone that doubted me
Thank you very little
