[Intro: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
Devil couldn’t keep away
And I couldn’t sleep for days
Was it payback for my evil ways?
Found love in my darker days
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
He is just a call aways
He gon’ help me find a way
Now I’m livin’ my brighter days
Yeah, we done seen brighter days
Finally made it out the maze
They ain’t lettin’ our face in
Wildin’ in somethin’ to feel better, ayy

[Chorus: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
Boy, we done seen brighter days
Finally made it out the maze
And it’s amazing, ain’t it?

[Post-Chorus: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
All this tallying up, enough, I know you was down
All this pain I felt, I got from well away
All these tears from ground, they drop from down my face
You the kind of love, of love that can be somethin’ for my brighter day
[Verse 1: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
I done had to make a play
And still we made it out the maze
And it’s amazing, a brand new day
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
So much joy and nothin’ less
And I got it made
What’s they-? I still wish, wish
Wish they would’ve shown, concern
Could’ve latched on, should’ve
Last time, did they?
I done sank ain’t they? Do more, can’t they?
Favors were handed, that was back handed
Didn’t get reprimanded, and I can’t stand it
I’m so cemented, like this is my planet
Boy, they couldn’t plan it, man, it so panic
Boy, they couldn’t handle it, I was so frantic
Look at how we ran it, Look at how we run it
Oh, you don’t want it? Don’t it feel haunted
Boy, you gotta love it, ayy
Somethin' in my brighter day

[Chorus: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
I done seen enough pain
But still made it out the maze
And it’s amazing
Somethin’ to feel better, ayy
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
Boy, we done seen brighter days
Finally made it out the maze
And it’s amazing, ain’t it?
[Post-Chorus: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
All this tallying up, enough, I know you was down
All this pain I felt, I got from well away
All these tears from ground, they drop from down my face
Well, my love gon’ run away

[Bridge: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Rah
[?], rah
Bitch, are you down, I go, go rah
Feel like somethin’, he go rah
Boy, I’m gon’ kick Satan, ow
Take that love you got no world
Boy, go kick Satan, ow
Take that love you got no-

[Chorus: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Now I’m livin my brighter days
Karate Kid, sweep the leg
Still make it out the maze
I still make it out the maze

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
What’s the point anyway what’s the pur- purpose
When the wheels swivel off that nerve, nervous
Everything in the dark gon' serve, surface
At the end, boy, what it’s worth, worthless
They ain’t like us so they curved, curved us
They songs, said they just won’t work, worked us
Til’ death, boy, that’s my word, word is
Man I swear they got some nerve, it’s nervous
Tell em’ I couldn’t stop that urge, urgent
Now the fact’s all up in the ear, ya heard us?
Not saying I know every bible verse, but word is
Just as long as I get the last word, ya heard us
