Ye vs The People Lyrics By Kanye West Featuring T I

    kanye
    like these is all super pretty things that make you feel everything is safe
    i got my polo shirt i got my horse it’s all good
    i got my cross on me

    ti
    i agree but i just think that when you have lives lost
    as artists that gives us an obligation to stand up against all of that kinda shit

    kanye
    you know me putting the hat on forces an evolution because
    there’s even for me i know so much more in the past days
    because i’m getting this energy positive or negative
    agreeing with me disagreeing with me
    it’s like and that like sharpens the diamond that shit
    our mind our conscienceness the way we’re thinking
    just breaking some shit

    ti
    your intentions from what you tell me are pure
    but the direction that you took to get there is a bit unorthodox
    and kind of i would say some people would say thoughtless

    kanye
    if i had not done what i felt and i just thought
    then it would’ve just never happened
    and when i wear that hat it’s like a fight for equality
    like oh i can wear this hat too
    i think people get mad at me when i name my idols
    and i don’t say michael jordan i say disney

    ti
    i just want you to consider all the people who just might be terribly like just torn apart and hurt

    kanye
    i really wanna take that hurt off of them and let them understand that i did not wear that hat to hurt them
    half the shit trump does i don’t agree with

    ti
    what half do you agree with
    let’s get that out

    kanye
    just the ability to do what no one said you could do
    to do the impossible is the most inspiring thing to me

    kanye to someone else in the room
    did you play that umm the one that said
    tell daddy what you learned in school
    you wanna play with that boy
    i wanna play with that yeah
    alright okay

    kanye on a playback of ye vs the people
    i was in debt and the car that broke
    the same shit i’ve been saying for years they called it loc
    successful man a man that the
    the most successful man the one’s who can afford the most mistakes
    and play with them

    kanye
    you could mix into that cause i basically gave a lotta my side on that

    ti
    sure

    kanye
    you know what i’m saying
    and your shit come in you say
    whoa whoa whoa what you say
    how could that be
    murmurs
    you know what i’m saying
    the exact conversation we’re having
    and what would you say

    ti
    sure
    yeah i’m just trying to figure where you’re trying to go with this
    some things you don’t align with and some shit you just don’t go against
    that would kinda gestures you know

    ti in recording studio
    let me hear it bro let me see what we got here

    ti listens on a set of headphones

    ti recording
    you’re goin’ now
    ’cause everything that you built can be destroyed and torn down

    kanye recording
    know everybody emotional
    would it be better if i rapped about selling crack
    because it’s cultural
    or how about i’ma shoot you or fuck your bitch
    or how about all this gucci or i’m fuckin’ rich

    or uhh i could fuck your bitch

    ti recording
    here’s a suggestion be selective with your critical views
    of people who done made greater contributions than you

    kanye on a playback of ye vs the people
    i know obama was heavensent
    but ever since trump won i felt like i could be president
