Kanye West

Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck
Put 'em up, out 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
She said she wants somebody she can take care of
And right then is when we paired up
Pull a chair up and make a space for yourself
You should taste what I felt
It's probable that those on the bottom gonna hold you accountable
It's lonely at the top
And it's all so hostile
Everybody got they own course full of obstacles
Don't let your heart grow cold like a Popsicle
She said she wants someone to treat her as an equal
And right then we started speeding towards Reno
Burning rubber in the burgundy regal
Fly like a dove then dive like an eagle
I'm a 70 deuce
That year was a classic
Buzz got loose and we here tryna catch it
She said that she was unimpressed
That's when I stood up and did the Kanye West
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
She said she needed a place to feel free
And right then we started building a team
Tryna make a better perfect
A little purpose
The only thing for certain is the sleep disturbance
But ever since people started measuring time
We've been looking for an easy way to settle our mind
Take a load off
Or take your clothes off
Or shut your eyes and roll straight for the road block
She said she needed something that she could blame
And right then is when I offered my name
It's the only thing I got that'll always remain
So imma share it with you
So you can complain too
She said she wanna find a cure for death
I know she meant that in the purest sense
But when I finally die put on your Sunday best
And throw your hands in the sky like Kanye West
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck
Put 'em up, put 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care
Oh yeah
You need to prove nothing to me
The time got a price but the trouble is free
If we gonna struggle imma do it comfortably
And live life like I love to breathe
Oh yeah
