Believe What I Say

[Lauryn Hill]

Yo, yo (check our situation)

My men and my women

(Yo) yo, yo (check our situation)

My men and my wom—

[Kanye West]

You need something 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

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love?

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow—

Man, it's too early

What the hell you doing waking me up at 5: 30?

Why the hell are you worried?

Play something that is very, very vibe-worthy

I don't want my mind alerting

People saying tweeting gonna make you die early

How 'bout have my heart hurting?

Hold it all inside, that could make you die early

Go on and get your best attorney

Something's there, feel it when I heard it

Just release the spirit, let it flow though

How these— leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo?

Nail me to the cross with long nails, like Coco

Free Throat Coat for the throat goats

Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo

I ain't got my point across

Till we finally get across and pass 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 asking for

I gave you every single thing you was asking for

I don't understand how anybody could ask for more

Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off

I be going through things I had to wrote

Celebrity drama that only Brad'll know

Too many family secrets, somebody passing notes

Things I cried about, I found laughable

Lil' baby Jesus, ain't laughing, no

Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know

The big man upstairs ain't laughing, no

Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know

Now here we are

You know I'm not about it

Showed you my all

I let you into my thoughts

[Kanye West]

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love?

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow in love

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow—

[Buju Banton]

Okay

I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave

I told you I loved you, but you didn't believed

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, haha!

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 laughing 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)

[Kanye West]

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down

Who knows when was the last time you felt the love

One last sparkle to follow in my light (right on!)

One last sparkle to follow—
