everything (feat. The-Dream & Kanye West)

You'll live and you'll learn See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else You'll live and you'll learn See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah Dark boy, don't you cry There's too much life left in those eyes Don't you let that face go waterfall Don't you learn to love your scars and all Dark boy, don't you die, they're just human, let them lie You just know your world and speak your truth Let them come to you, for your love and your heart See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else This is your court, there are no laws See you'll never conclude with anyone else Don't think the same as everyone else If I had everything, everything I could change anything, I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black Beloved brother, you fail to embarrass him, harassin' him To my life, your life pales in comparison So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God Do what's necessary, I'm never worried Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture You convinced most of my people to live off emotion That's why we competin' Death by the chrome barrel, forgot the secrets My Kilimanjaro bone marrow's the deepest You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that We want freedom, I'm a scholar, an almanac People do anything to be involved in everything Inclusion is a hell of a drug Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life And never have enough If I had everything, everything I could change anything If I changed anything, I mean anything I would change everything, oh yeah From the birth of a child, the world is foul Excursions of a searchin' child Should learn to take nothin' personal A parent hates to watch his baby's face Takin' his first immunization shots, but this is great The child's introduction to suffering and pain Understands without words, nothin' is explained Or rushed to the brain, lookin' up at his parents' face Like, "I thought you would protect me from this scary place?" "Why'd you let them inject me?" "Who's gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?" Who knew I would grow to meet presidents that respect me? If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please don't arrest me I need to use your restroom and I ain't buy no espresso soon enough Assume the cuffs, the position, not new to us Since back on the bus sittin', said, "Screw that bus!"
