Kanye West
Believe What I Say (Sunday Service Choir Demo)
[Intro: Lauryn Hill]
Yo, yo (Check our situation)
My men and my women
(Yo) Yo, yo (Check our situation)
My men and my wom–
(Incoming!)
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon
You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected
Just one time for the record, just one time for the record
Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods
[Chorus 1: Sunday Service Choir]
Another day I'm grateful for, praise god
If you knew that all I've been through the lord, that's god
See me shining, glory, to god
See me shining it's all god
[Verse 2: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]
Man, it’s too early
What the hell you doin’ wakin’ me up at 5:30?
Why the hell arе you worried?
Play somethin that is very, vеry vibe-worthy
I don’t want my mind alertin’
People sayin’ tweetin’ gon make you die early
How ‘bout have my heart hurtin’
Hold it all inside, that can make you die early
You must put me in a gurney
Something’s there, feel it when I heard it
Just release the spirit, let it flow though
How these n***as leavin’ out with one leg like Flo-Jo
Long ass nails like Coko
That’s throat coat for the vocals
Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo
I ain’t got my point across
‘Til we finally get across and past the point
So there’s a couple things that I gotta quote
Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know
I ain’t never question what you was askin’ for
I gave you every single thing you was askin’ for
I don’t understand how anybody could ask for more
Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off
I be goin’ through things I had to wrote
Celebrity drama that only Brad’ll know
Too many families secrets, somebody pass the coat
Things I cried about, I find laughable
… ain’t laughin’, no
Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know
… ain’t laughin’, no
Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know
[Bridge: Buju Banton]
Now-
[Chorus 2: Sunday Service Choir]
Another day I'm grateful for, praise god
If you knew that all I've been through the lord, that's god
See me shining, glory, to god
See me shining it's all god
See me shining, glory, to god
See me shining it's all god
[Outro: Buju Banton]
I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave
I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe
You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived
By some dude who's more rather into greed
Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs
Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha
You said that I lie, how did I? I told you everything, didn't I?
But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved
Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed
Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha
I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no
My back ain't against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall)
