[Intro: Kanye West]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
I’m living in that 21st Century, doing something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music

[Hook: Kanye West]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
The system broken, the school is closed, the prison's open
We ain’t got nothing to lose, everybody, we rolling
Huh? Everybody, we rolling
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I’ll see you in the morning
Huh? I’ll see you in the morning
This is way too much, I need a moment

[Hook: Kanye West, Rivers Cuomo]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
Till then, fuck that, the world’s ours
And they say, "Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker"
[Bridge: Kanye West]
The brown hero, live from Ground Zero
Machine gun flow, made of ghetto Ross Perot
And this is disestablishmen-tarianism
With my night goggles on, yeah, military vision
And it’s still a very Christian way to think about livin’
When you prayin’ for freedom ’cause your mind been in prison
‘Cause they tryin’ to control every single big decision
You ain’t effin’ the system, then why the eff is you livin’?
Look, dawg, you can cop whatever suits you on
Three-piece, cuff links and the accoutrements
They been feedin’ us ish without the nutrients
So I’m back with another hit to let the truth be known
And your boy still fresh with the Gucci on
Them Italians sure know how to make what the moulies want
And they really can’t take what dude be on
But I be on the same thing ’til you prove me wrong

[Hook: Kanye West, Rivers Cuomo]
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s ticking, I just count the hours
Stop tripping, I’m tripping off the power
Till then, fuck that, the world’s ours
And they say, "Say it ain't so
Your drug is a heartbreaker"
And they say, "Say it ain't so
My love is a life taker"
[Verse 4: Kanye West]
Colin Powells, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f'ing nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation
Well that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of the day, God, I’m killing this
I know damn well y’all feeling this
I don’t need you, Baby, I’m on my own dick
I ain’t gotta trip, who you going home with?
How Ye doing? Well, I’m surviving
I was drinking earlier, now, I’m driving
Where the bad? Where you hiding?
I got the power, make your life so exciting

[Outro: Kanye West, Rivers Cuomo]
I got the power, make your life so exciting
I got the power, make your life so exciting
So exciting...
Now, this'll be a beautiful death
Say it ain't so, your drug is a heartbreaker
Now, now, now, now, this'll be a beautiful death
Say it ain't so, my love is a life taker
