Sho Baraka, Jackie Hill Perry - Kanye, 2009 lyrics

I got somethin' to say (Go and say it then)
I got somethin' to say (Go and say it then)
I got somethin' to say (Go and say it then)

"How, Jay?!" this is my Kanye rant
Tell everybody this is my Kanye rant
Uh, what this is my Kanye rant
Can I talk for a minute, yeah?
Can I talk for a second, yeah? Can I talk?
Let me talk (Shut up)

They like "You better watch your mouth"
I'd rather pray for forgiveness for
What might come out
Lord, have mercy on the words I speak
I'll have an opinion but might
Change my views next week like, why
When I share my faith it's called intolerance
But when they share their
Hate it's called scholarship?
And why ain't no Whole Foods in the hood?
All I see is fast food here, can we eat good?
We need black-owned and less bad loans
Less pawn shops and liquor stores
And We Buy Gold and why black history always
Starts with slavery
So even when I'm learning
They still putting them chains on me

I got something to say (Go on say it then)
I got something to say (Go on say it then)
I got something to say (Go on say it then)

Be quiet! This is my Kanye rant
Everybody listen up to my Kanye rant
Please, this is my Kanye rant
Can I talk for a minute, yeah
Can I talk for a second, yeah can I talk
Let me talk

Yo, can I speak for a minute?
Why everybody on Twitter try to be prolific
Try to be so gifted
To those typos go swipe on your image
Get a filter for that
So that Michael in yo writtens
It's a privilege in fact that's like
Stop asking me about the
Lack of female rappers
You rappers ain't even ready for
What's gon' happen after
We busy being mothers while
You chasing platforms
You fat for 'em - you living backwards
No wonder why you salty
Lot's wife taught him well
On why the Sodom call me
Probably cause I'm snatching bodies
Out the fire falling
Light a match and ask your
Daddy who is Maury calling?

I got something to say (Go on say it then)
I got something to say (Go on say it then)
I got something to say (Go on say it then)

I'm genius! This is my Kanye rant
Everybody listen up to my Kanye rant
Can I talk for a minute, yeah
Can I talk for a second, yeah can I talk
Let me talk

Is this rap or a cry for help?
Because many times
I think that I confuse myself
I'm just small time
But some think I can change rap
They think I'm BET
They want me to bring the game back
They like "Sho, you inspire so many folk
But what is it all for
When you're creative and broke?"
I know, I know
Money don't solve problems but
Influence don't stop Sallie Mae from calling
It's enough to drive a brother to depression
I'm rich in spirit but
My pocket's in recession this is braille
I'm just telling you how I feel
Only fake people gotta remind you
They keep it real (I keep it real)
I'm fighting my pride trying to
Be the nice guy on my Michael Jackson
Just trying to see the bright side
My white friends think I'm
All about black power
My black friends living in ebony towers
My artist friends have terrible work habit's
My Christian friends got the
Truth but live passive
I reproduce they habit's, I can't even hate
I guess we're all brothers but
I still can't relate

I was wondering are you listening, baby?
I was wondering maybe I'm the one crazy

Sho, you really talk, talk
Talking 'bout nothing
See 'em out running you ain't saying nothing
Nothing people nowadays can't be trusted
So stop lying, why you be fronting?

I was wondering (shut up)
Are you listening, baby?
Maybe I'm the one crazy

All I hear is wa wa wa wa wa shut up!
All I hear is wa wa wa wa wa shut up!
All I hear is wa wa wa wa wa shut up!

Can I talk? Let me talk!

You ain't really talking 'bout
Nothing shut up!
You ain't really talking 'bout
Nothing shut up!
You ain't really talking 'bout
Nothing shut up!
You ain't really talking 'bout
Nothing shut up!
Man, you ain't really really really
Talking 'bout nothing shut up!
You ain't really talking 'bout
Nothing shut up!
Cuz, you ain't talking 'bout nothing shut up!
Shut up!

Hey, make that bad man go away (Go away)
Make that that bad man go away (Go away)
Make that that bad man go away (Go away)
He talking crazy, make that man go away
Make that that bad man go away (Go away)
He talking crazy
