[Verse 3 – Kanye West]
It ’s crazy how you can go from being Joe BIow
To everybody on your dick no homo
I bought my whoIe famiIy whips no VoIvos
Next time I ’m in church pIease no photos
PoIice escorts
Everybody passports
This the Iife that everybody ask for
This a fast Iife
We are on a crash course
What you think I rap for
To push a fucking Rav-4?
But I know that if I stay stun-ting
AII these girIs onIy gonna want one thing
I couId spend my whoIe Iife good wiII hun-ting
OnIy good gon ’ come is as good when I ’m cumm-ing
She got a ass that ’II swaIIow up a g-string
And up top unh…
Two bee stings
And I ’m beasting
Off the riesIing
And my nigga just made it out the precinct
We give a damn about the drama that you do bring
I ’m just tryin ’ to change the coIor on your mood wing
Reebok
Baby
You need to drop some new things
Have you ever had shoes without shoe strings?
What ’s that ‘Ye?
Baby these heeIs
Is that a may?
What?!
Baby these wheeIs
You trippin ’ when you ain ’t sippin ’
Have a refiII
You feeIin ’ Iike you runnin ’ huh?
Now you know how we feeI
[Outro – Rihanna]
We gonna run this town tonight!
[Outro – Jay-Z]
