[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know
[Verse 1: Common]
They say a nigga 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 bе tellin' Derick, "Tell Cara gеt us a show"
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low
The richest man ain't necessarily the nigga with dough
They say "You went wild", yeah, that's what they say
My niggas couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray
Paintin' a day, wit' 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
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Ah, the sweet taste of victory
Go head and breathe 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 'til 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
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie (Uh, ha!)
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh
[Verse 3: Consequence]
They say cons, somethings different about you like a remix
Oh I know what it is, you went and got your teeth fixed
And since Common put you on the remix
I guessed you shipped enough units to make the game seasick
Please trick, that's he say, she say
We do this for the DJ's, dedicated to the PJ's
And while they busy saying what he ain't
The picture that he paint will keep him dressed in Yves saint
But after my release date, they'll still be naysayers
Up on ok players, but that's ok player
Cause the things that they say, they'll never say to my face
So I keep em in my prayers while I'm saying my grace
Cause after ten years of spending days on the shelf
Imagine what I think, when I say to myself
It's been a long road but finally the day came
So I can give a damn about the things that they say
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh
