Bring Me Down

[Produced by Kanye West and Jon Brion] [Chorus: Brandy] I always knew that one day They'd try to bring me down (Dow-own) Way down, way down (Way down, oh-ah) Ooh, one day, they'd try to bring me down (Ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Always knew that one day (Always that) They'd try to bring me dow-own Way down They'd try to bring me down [Verse: Kanye West] We goin' to Mass today We have to pray, besides what the pastor say I have to say, since Pac passed away Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything There'd always be somebody that'll shoot down any dream There'll always be haters, that's the way it is Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive 'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind And get some leeway on the "He say, she say" Your girl don't like me? How long has she been gay? Spanish girls say, "Yo, no hablo inglés" And everybody want to run to me for their sing-le It's funny how these wack niggas need my help Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself Dawg, if I was you, I wouldn't feel myself Dawg, if I was you, I'd kill myself Made a mil' myself and I'm still myself (Oh-oh-oh-oh) And I'mma look in the mirror if I need some help (Down) Now, I'll speak from the heart, y'all all frontin' Everybody feel a way about K, but at least, y'all feel somethin' (Feel somethin', feel somethin', feel somethin') [Bridge: Brandy] What you callin'? I let all in for gettin' what some get will get ya What kind of dream we found? (Yeah) See, I'm often catchin' crosswinds (Now) Forgettin' where the hell I met ya (Met ya) And try to bring me down [Chorus: Brandy] I always knew that one day They'd try to bring me down Way down, way down (Way down, oh-oh-oh-oh) Always knew that one day They'd try to bring me down (Down-own) Way down (Oh-oh-oh-oh) Always knew that one day (Always that-one day) They'd try to bring me down (Oh, yeah) Way down They'd try to bring me down Down now, down now, down, nah-nah-nah-nah
