[Kanye West, T.I. - The Making of Ye Vs The People lyrics]
Like these is all super pretty things that
Make you feel everything is safe
I got my polo shirt, I got my horse
It's all good i got my cross on me
I agree, but I just think that when
You have lives lost as artists
That gives us an obligation to stand up
Against all of that kinda shit
You know, me putting the hat on
Forces an evolution because
There's, even for me
I know so much more in the past 3 days
Because I'm getting this energy
Positive or negative
Agreeing with me, disagreeing with me
It's like, and that like
Sharpens the diamond, that shit our mind
Our conscienceness the way we're thinking
Just breaking some shit
Your intentions, from what you tell me
Are pure but the direction that you took to
Get there is a bit unorthodox
And kind of i would say -
Some people would say thoughtless
If I had not done what I
Felt and I just thought
Then it would've just never happened
And when I wear that hat it's
Like a fight for equality
Like "oh I can wear this hat too"
I think people get mad at me
When I name my idols
And I don't say Michael Jordan, I say Disney
I just want you to consider all the
People who just might be terribly, like
Just torn apart and hurt
I really wanna take that hurt off
Of them and let them
Understand that I did not wear
That hat to hurt them
Half the shit Trump does, I don't agree with
What half do you agree with?
Let's get that out
Just the ability to do what no
One said you could do
To do the impossible is the
Most inspiring thing to me
Did you play that umm, the one that said
"Tell Daddy what you learned in school"
I wanna play with that, yeah
"I was in debt and the car that broke
The same shit I've been saying for
Years they called it "loc"
Successful man, a man that the
The most successful man the one's who
Can afford the most mistakes
Don’t play with them"
You could mix into that cause I basically
Gave a lotta my side on that
Sure
You know what I'm saying?
And your shit come in, you say
"Whoa whoa whoa, what you say?
How could that be?
You know what I'm saying?
The exact conversation we're having
And what would you say?
Sure "yeah I'm just trying to figure where
You're trying to go with this
Some things you don't align with and some
Shit you just don't go against"
Let me hear it bro
Let me see what we got here
" you're goin' now
'Cause everything that you built can
Be destroyed and torn down"
" know everybody emotional
"Would it be better if I
Rapped about selling crack?
Because it's cultural?
Or how about I'ma shoot you?
Or fuck your bitch?
Or how about all this Gucci
Or I'm fuckin' rich?"
Or uhh, I could fuck your bitch
"Here's a suggestion
Be selective with your critical views
Of people who done made
Greater contributions than you"
"I know Obama was heaven-sent
But ever since Trump won
I felt like I could be president"
Make you feel everything is safe
I got my polo shirt, I got my horse
It's all good i got my cross on me
I agree, but I just think that when
You have lives lost as artists
