We Don't Care Lyrics - Kanye West

1 Oh yeah, I've got the perfect song for the kids to sing

2 And all my people that's

3 Drug dealin' just to get by

4 Stack ya' money till it get sky high

5 We wasn't s'posed to make it past twenty-five

6 Joke's on you, we still alive

7 Throw your hands up in the sky and say

8 "We don't care what people say"

9 If this is your first time hearin' this

10 You are about to experience somethin' so cold, man

11 We never had nothin' handed, took nothin' for granted

12 Took nothin' from no man, man, I'm my own man

13 But as a shorty I looked up to the dopeman

14 Only adult man I knew that wasn't broke, man

15 Flickin' Starter coats, man

16 Man, you don't know, man

17 We don't care what people say

18 This is for my niggas outside all winter

19 'Cause this summer they ain't finna say, "Next summer I'm finna"

20 Sittin' in the hood like community colleges

21 This dope money here is little Trey's scholarship

22 'Cause ain't no tuition for having no ambition

23 And ain't no loans for sittin' your ass at home

24 So we forced to sell crack, rap, and get a job

25 You gotta do somethin' man, your ass is grown

26 Drug dealin' just to get by

27 Stack ya' money till it get sky high

28 Kids, sing, kids, sing

29 We wasn't s'posed to make it past twenty-five

30 Joke's on you, we still alive

31 Throw your hands up in the sky and say

32 "We don't care what people say"

33 The second verse is for my dogs workin' nine to five that still hustle

34 'Cause a nigga can't shine off $6.55

35 And everybody sellin' makeup, Jacob's and bootlegged tapes just to get they cake up

36 We put shit on layaway, then come back

37 We claim other people kids on our income tax

38 We take that money, cop work, then push packs to get paid

39 And we don't care what people say

40 Mama say she wanna move south

41 Scratchin' lottery tickets, eyes on a new house

42 'Round the same time, Doe ran up in dude house

43 Couldn't get a job, so since he couldn't get work, he figured he'd take work

44 The drug game bulimic, it's hard to get weight

45 A nigga's money is homo, it's hard to get straight

46 But we gon' keep bakin' till the day we get cake

47 And we don't care what people say, my niggas

48 Drug dealin' just to get by

49 Stack ya' money till it get sky high

50 Kids, sing, kids, sing

51 We wasn't s'posed to make it past twenty-five

52 Joke's on you, we still alive

53 Throw your hands up in the sky and say

54 "We don't care what people say"

55 You know the kids gon' act a fool

56 When you stop the programs for after-school

57 And they DCFS, some of 'em dyslexic

58 They favorite 50 Cent song "12 Questions"

59 We scream, "Rocks, blow, weed, park," see, now we smart

60 We ain't retards, the way teachers thought

61 Hold up, hold fast, we make more cash

62 Now tell my mama I belong in that slow class

63 Sad enough we on welfare

64 They tryna put me on the school bus with the space for the wheelchair

65 I'm tryna get the car with the chromie wheels here

66 They tryna cut our lights out like we don't live here

67 Look what was handed us, fathers abandoned us

68 When we get them hammers, go on, call the ambulance

69 Sometimes I feel no one in this world understands us

70 But we don't care what people say, my niggas

71 Drug dealin' just to get by

72 Stack ya' money till it get sky high

73 Kids, sing, kids, sing

74 We wasn't s'posed to make it past twenty-five

75 Joke's on you, we still alive

76 Throw your hands up in the sky and say

77 "We don't care what people say"
