Believe What I Say (Election Day Demo)

[Intro: Lauryn Hill]

Yo, yo (Check our situation)

My men and my women

(Yo) Yo, yo (Check our situation)

My men and my wom–

(Incoming!)

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon

You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected

Just one time for the record, just one time for the record

Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods

[Chorus: Kanye West with Stalone]

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle let, let down

We'll let them know when the last time you knew thе love

One last sparkle to follow in my light (Right on, right on)

Onе last sparkle to follow

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Dem Jointz]

Man, it’s too early

What the hell you doin’ wakin’ me up at 5:30?

Why the hell are you worried?

Play somethin that is very, very vibe-worthy

I don’t want my mind alertin’

People sayin’ tweetin’ gon make you die early

How ‘bout have my heart hurtin’

Hold it all inside, that can make you die early

You must put me in a gurney

Something’s there, feel it when I heard it

Just release the spirit, let it flow though

How these niggas leavin’ out with one leg like Flo-Jo

Long ass nails like Coko

That’s throat coat for the vocals

Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo

I ain’t got my point across

‘Til we finally get across and past the point

So there’s a couple things that I gotta quote

Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know

I ain’t never question what you was askin’ for

I gave you every single thing you was askin’ for

I don’t understand how anybody could ask for more

Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off

I be goin’ through things I had to wrote

Celebrity drama that only Brad’ll know

Too many families secrets, somebody pass the coat

Things I cried about, I find laughable

… ain’t laughin’, no

Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know

… ain’t laughin’, no

Don’t involve yourself in things you don’t have to know

[Bridge: Buju Banton]

Now here we are

You know I’m not about it

Showed you my heart

I let you into my thoughts

[Chorus: Kanye West with Stalone]

Don't let, don't let the lifestyle let, let down

We'll let them know when the last time you knew the love

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow the light

One last sparkle to follow in my light

One last sparkle to follow

[Outro: Buju Banton]

Okay, I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave

I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe

You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived

By some dude who's more rather into greed

Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs

Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha

You said that I lie, how did I? I told you everything, didn't I?

But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved

Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed

Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha

I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no

My back ain't against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall)
