They Say (feat. Kanye West)

They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts, and if they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say, but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know

They say a **** lost his mind

But in the scheme of things, I never lost a rhyme

The thin line between love and hatred

I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life

They say life is what you make it

So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it

As high as the stakes get when paper get low

I be tellin' Derick, tell Kara get us a show

Little com, I make righteous bitches bet low

The richest man ain't necessarily the **** with dough

They say you ripped, wow, yeah, that's what they say

My **** couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray

Paintin' a day, with focused crime, broads, and good wine

They say dope is sour so it's homework and hood crimes

I stood mine, for forever and a day, so goodbye

They never could say, tell 'em J

They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts, and if they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say, but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know

Ah, the sweet taste of victory

Go 'head and breath it in like antihistamine

I know they sayin', "Damn, Ye snapped with this beat"

Fuck you expect? I've got a history

Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels

Haters back down, gotta be that steel

I know they can't wait till ya outta ya deal

Look how they did D'Angelo, ask him how do it feel

My best friends worry 'bout me

'Cause they know when you famous

And you had made cash, the media aims at us and you be up so high

If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash

But God don't ever give me nothin' I can't handle

So please don't ever give me records I can't sample

So I could vacay where it ain't no channels

But it's quite okay for a gangsta to wear sandals

They say because of the fame and stardom

I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum

I guess it's messin' with my health then

And this verse so crazy when I finish, I'm just gon check myself in, again

They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts, and if they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say, but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know

They say dude think he righteous

I write just to free minds, from Stoney to Rikers

Amongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike is

On my paper, whether its weed or Isis

They say life is a game, so I play hard

Writin' for my life 'cause I'm scared of a day job

They say Sef kept the hood together

I tell the young, we can't play the hood forever

Play my cards right, they say I went too left

They showed me strange love, like I was Mr. F

Played chess in this game of pawns and knights

Now I claim King like Don, or Frank White

They say my life is comparable to Christ

The way I sacrificed, and resurrected twice

They say the crochet pants and the sweater was whack

Seen the corner, now they say that ****'s back, uh

They say, "What's happenin'?"

We say the facts, and if they lie

We comin' back for them

They might say, but they don't know

They say, they say

They don't know
