They Say(feat. John Legend, Kanye West)[Chorus: John Legend]They say "What's happenin'?"We say the facts and if, they lie...We comin' back for themThey might say... but they don't know!(They say, They say...)They don't knowwwww[Verse 1: Common]They say a nigga lost his mindBut in the scheme of things I never lost a rhymeThe thin line between love and hatredI'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated lifeThey say life is what you make itSo I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take itAs high as the stakes get when paper get lowI be tellin Derick, "Tell Kara get us a show"Little Com, I make righteous bitches get lowThe richest man aint necessarily the nigga wit doughThey say "You ripped" "Wow..." Yea, that's what they sayMy niggaz couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in RayPaintin a day, wit focused crime, broads, and good wineThey say "Dope is sour so it's homework and hood crimes"I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbyeThey never could say - tell 'em, J[Chorus][Verse 2: Kanye West]Ahh... The sweet taste of victoryGo head and breath it in like antihistamineI know they sayin "Damn, Yay snapped wit this beat!"Fuck you expect? I've got a historyGroupie love now, gotta be them wheels!Haters back down, gotta be that steel!I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal!Look how they did D'Angelo ask em how do it feel!My best friends worry bout meCause they know when you famous/fame-assAnd you had made cash the media aims at us and you be up so highif you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crashBut God don't ever give me nothin I cant handleSo please don't ever give me records I cant sampleSo I could vacate where it aint no channelsbut it's quite ok for a gangsta to wear sandalsThey say because of the fame and stardomI'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylumI guess it's messin with my health thenAnd this verse so crazy when I finishI'm just gon check myself in - again[Chorus][Kanye West:] "Uh!" (hey!)[Verse 3: Common]They say "Dude think he righteous"I write just to free minds, from Stoney to RikersAmongst the lifeless, in a world crazy as Mike isOn my paper, whether its weed or IsisThey say "life is a game," so I play hardWritin for my life cause I'm scared of a day jobThey say "Sef kept the hood together"I tell the young, "We can't play the hood forever"Play my cards right, they say I went to leftThey showed me strange love, like I was Mr. FPlayed chess in this game of, pawns and knightsNow I claim "King" like Don, or Frank WhiteThey say my life is comparable to Christ'sThe way I sacrificed, and resurrected, twiceThey say "The crochet pants and the sweater was wack"Seen "The Corner", now they say "That nigga's back," uh...[Chorus]
