Everything lyrics

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]

You'll live and you'll learn

See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

You'll live and you'll learn

See you'll never conclude with anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]

If I had everything, everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything, I mean anything

I would change everything, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: The-Dream and Kanye West]

Dark boy, don't you cry

There's too much life left in those eyes

Don't you let that face go waterfall

Don't you learn to love your scars and all

Dark boy, don't you die, they're just human, let them lie

You just know your world and speak your truth

Let them come to you, for your love and your heart

See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

This is your court, there are no laws

See you'll never conclude with anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]

If I had everything, everything

I could change anything, I could change anything

If I changed anything, I mean anything

I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 1: Nas]

When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts

Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black

Beloved brother, you fail to embarrass him, harassin' him

To my life, your life pales in comparison

So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the God

Do what's necessary, I'm never worried

Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture

You convinced most of my people to live off emotion

That's why we competin'

Death by the chrome barrel, forgot the secrets

My Kilimanjaro bone marrow's the deepest

You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that

We want freedom, I'm a scholar, an almanac

People do anything to be involved in everything

Inclusion is a hell of a drug

Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life

And never have enough

[Chorus: Kanye West]

If I had everything, everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything, I mean anything

I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 2: Nas]

From the birth of a child, the world is foul

Excursions of a searchin' child

Should learn to take nothin' personal

A parent hates to watch his baby's face

Takin' his first immunization shots, but this is great

The child's introduction to suffering and pain

Understands without words

Nothin' is explained or rushed to the brain

Lookin' up at his parents' face

Like, "I thought you would protect me from this scary place?"

"Why'd you let them inject me?"

"Who's gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?"

Who knew I would grow to meet presidents that respect me?

If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please don't arrest me

I need to use your restroom and I ain't buy no espresso

Soon enough, assume the cuffs, the position

Not new to us, since back on the bus sittin'

Said "Screw that bus!" – boycotted that bus outta business

The future's us, yet every citizen's in prison

[Chorus: Kanye West]

If I had everything, everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything, I mean anything

I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 3: Nas]

Watch me as I walk through the folly, golly, New York to Saudi

In Italy, I'm Eduardo Wiccari

But Nasty the hustler, nasty like mustard gas, sulfur

And I could sell Alaska to Russia, no pressure

My first house, 11,000-square-feet mansion

It was a haunted by dead rich whites

Mad a nigga bought his crib to hang up pictures of black Christ

Circular driveways, black cars and black ice

My second house, still in my twenties, illin' with money

Chilled through my spine, spillin' wine, it's funny

Did good for a staircase loiterer, euphoria

What you saw when you seen a teen turn to a warrior

Did every Fourth of July, bustin' in the sky

It was important to a guy who was mob-minded

Future Murcielago driver 'til Lambos got average on me

I started likin' the look like I ain't had no money

Yellow taxi seats over Maybach seats

Just to remind me, just to inspire me

To stay focused, it's a real sick society

Just 'cause I got your support don't mean you're buyin' me

I'm buyin' back the land owned by the slave masters

Where my ancestors lived, just to say a rapper

Made a change; the pants-sagger put plans in action

'Til they claim the Pan-African made it happen

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]

You'll live and you'll learn

See 'cause you've never been the same anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

You'll live and you'll learn

See you'll never conclude with anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]

If I had everything, everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything, I mean anything

I would change everything, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: The-Dream and Kanye West]

Dark boy, don't you cry, there's too much life left in those eyes

Don't you let that face go waterfall

Don't you learn to love your scars and all

Dark boy, don't you die

They're just human, let them lie

You just know your world and speak your truth

And let them come to you

For your love and your heart

See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else

This is your court, there are no laws

See you'll never conclude with anyone else

Don't think the same as everyone else
