[Kanye West] + (Choir)

Now turn it up,(little louder) turn it up (little louder)

turn it uuuuup, (little louder)turn it up (little louder)

now turn it up (can't live my, I, I can't live my)

(I can't live my, I, I can't live)

now turn it up, turn it up

[Evidence]

I, I can't live my, can't live my

yeah, yo I can't live my I, I can't live my

life this way, continually get high

instead of runnin 'round, lock one bird down

it's a new day gotta do a bid just to get by

show no respect can't live that way

you hold my check can't live that way

without my chick on deck, can't live that way

they say what they like, but I've been that way

Our moves calculated through the limbs, almost here

success will be the best revenge

man, from Clint East' to Kanye West (whut up, whut up!)

the sun cant chill but everyday it sets (everyday!)

[Chorus - Male Choir] + (Female Choir)

this time I made up my mind

this time I'm bAck on my grind

I know theres things in my life

that I'ma let go of startin tonight

(I can't live my, I, I can't live my)

(I can't live my, I, I can't live my)

I can't live my, I, I can't live my

I can't live my life this way (can't live my, I, I can't live my)

this way (I can't live my, I, I can't live my)

this way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my

I can't live my life this way

[Kanye West]

Yeah, Yeah Kanye to the

My favorite girl wanna leave just because I got a girlfriend

my freak girl told me "now, she a christian"

my white girl wanna move back to Michigan

I'm pullin girls off the bench like a "six-man"

I'm in the club doin the same ol' two step

while omega doin the same ol' Q- step

I have my money on my mind I was thinkin green

she a pledge A.K.A. "she was pink and green"

I wanna a good girl she want a gentleman

we sayin' the same thing like a synonym

I wasn't really spittin game I was scrimmagein

my penminships so hard in this cencorship

I'ma Chicagoan till Chicago ends

till we blow like Chicago wind

I don't know what's better, gettin laid or gettin paid

I just know wen I'm gettin one, the other's gettin away

This way

[Chorus]

[Rakaa Iriscience)

Go 'head, flip a coin so the game don't stop

believe I know the drama keep name apart

I learnt before the hot flame came the spark

it's like 'fore the pop fame came the park

but this industry'll play with yo' life man

they playin with yo' rent, food, water and lights man (yeah)

that's why Rakaa puts a ol' tidy G jam??

the veteran, then I'm off to Amsterdam

to rest up for strenght to deal with this weight

to deal with these deals to deal with this hate

I dedicate this Jam Master Jay

Run-DMC showed me how to walk, this way

[Chorus]

[Kanye West & Rakaa speak in Outro]
