I Wonder (Terry Urban Mix)

[Produced by Kanye West]

[Intro: Labi Siffre]

The Graduate

It's been so long

But now your here

Here to stay

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means to find your dreams

And I wonder

[Verse 1: Kanye West & Labi Siffre]

I've been waiting on this my whole life (And I wonder)

These dreams be waking me up at night (And I wonder)

You say I think I'm never wrong (And I wonder)

You know what? Maybe you're right, aight?

[Chorus: Labi Siffre]

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means (Commissioner) to find your dreams (Terry Urban)

And I wonder

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Labi Siffre]

And I'm back on my grind

A psychic read my lifeline, told me in my lifetime

My name would help light up the Chicago skyline

And that's why I'm (And I wonder)

Seven o'clock, that's primetime

Heaven'll watch, God callin' from the hotlines

Why he keep giving me hot lines?

I'm a star, how could I not shine? (And I wonder)

How many ladies in the house? (If you know)

How many ladies in the house without a spouse? (What it means)

Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused (What it means)

What you about? (And I wonder)

On that independent shit (If you know)

Trade it all for a husband and some kids (What it means)

You ever wonder what it all really mean?

You wonder if you'll ever find your dreams? (To find your dreams come true)

[Verse 3: Nas]

I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty, it's a blessin'

The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and

My physical frame is celebrated 'cause I made it

One quarter through life, some godly-like thing created

Got rhymes 365 days annual, plus some

Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I pus from

My skull, 'cause it's pain in my brain vein, money maintain

Don't go against the grain, simple and plain

When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard

Robbin' foreigners, take they wallets, they jewels and rip they green cards

Dipped to the projects, flashin' my quick cash

And got my first piece of ass, smokin' blunts with hash

Now it's all about cash in abundance

Niggas I used to run with is rich or doin' years in the hundreds

I switched my motto, instead of sayin', "Fuck tomorrow"

That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto

Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks

I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back

Time is illmatic, keep static like wool fabric

Pack a four 'matic to crack your whole cabbage (I wonder)
