Everything I Am Lyrics - Kanye West

1 '''Kanye West and Chuck D:'''

2 Damn, here we go again

3 Common passed on this beat, I made it to a jam

4 Now everything I'm not made me everything I am

5 Damn, here we go again

6 People talking shit but when shit hit the fan

7 Everything I'm not made me everything I am

8 '''Kanye West:'''

9 I'll never be picture perfect Beyoncé

10 Be light as Al B. or black as Chauncey

11 Remember him from Blackstreet, he was as black as the street was

12 I never be laid back as this beat was

13 I never could see why people reach a

14 Fake ass facade that they couldn't keep up

15 You see how I creeped up

16 You see how I played the big role in "Chicago" like Queen Latifah

17 I never rock a mink coat in the wintertime like Killa Cam

18 Or rock some mink boots in the summertime like Will.I.Am

19 Let me know if you feel it man

20 'Cause everything I'm not made me everything I am

21 '''Kanye West and Chuck D:'''

22 Damn, here we go again

23 Everybody saying what's not for him

24 But everything I'm not, made me everything I am

25 Damn, here we go again

26 People talking shit but when shit hit the fan

27 Everything I'm not made me everything I am

28 '''Kanye West:'''

29 And I'm back to tear it up

30 Haters start your engines, I hear 'em gearing up

31 People talk so much shit about me at barbershops

32 They forget to get their hair cut

33 Okay, fair enough, the streets is flaring up

34 'Cause they want gun-talk, or I don't wear enough

35 Baggy clothes, Reeboks, or Adidos

36 Can I add that he do spaz out at his shows?

37 So say goodbye to the N-double A-CP award

38 Goodbye to the India Arie award

39 They'd rather give me the ni-nigga-please award

40 But I'll just take the I-got-alotta-cheese award

41 '''Kanye West and Chuck D:'''

42 Damn, here we go again

43 But everything I'm not made me everything I am

44 Damn, here we go again

45 People talking shit but when shit hit the fan

46 Everything I'm not made me everything I am

47 '''Kanye West:'''

48 I know that people wouldn't usually rap this

49 But I got the facts to back this

50 Just last year, Chicago had over six hundred caskets

51 Man, killing's some wack shit

52 Oh, I forgot, 'cept for when niggas is rappin'

53 Do you know what it feel like when people is passin'?

54 He got changed over his chains, a block off Ashland

55 I need to talk to somebody, pastor

56 The church want tithe, so I can't afford to pay

57 Pink slip on my door 'cause I can't afford to stay

58 My fifteen seconds up, but I got more to say

59 "That's enough Mr. West, please, no more today"

60 '''Kanye West and Chuck D:'''

61 Damn, here we go again

62 Everybody saying what's not for him

63 But everything I'm not made me everything I am

64 Damn, here we go again

65 People talking shit but when shit hit the fan

66 Everything I'm not made me everything I am

67 '''Chuck D:'''

68 Here we go, here, here we go

69 Here we go, here, here we go

70 Here we go, we, we, we

71 We go, we go, we go, we go, we go

72 Go go go again

73 '''Prince Philip Mitchell:'''

74 Yeah baby
