(Intro – Kanye West & Nas) No matter how many times I’ve tried to you I can’t lie to you, I can’t lie to you I never lied to you I can’t Can’t lie y’all, he disrespected y’all No matter how times I’ve tried to you I can’t lie to you, I can’t lie to you, I can’t
(Verse 1 – Kanye West) Uh, just like a ni**a, go figure Some s**t they said they might never figure Mo’ figures, more hating ass n**as Mo’ commas, more hating ass problems
(Chorus – Kanye West) No matter how much I’ve tried No matter how much I’ve tried Can’t lie to you, I can’t lie to you No matter how many times I’ve No matter how many rhymes I’ve I got it all in my mind I got it all in my mind I can’t lie to you No matter how many times I’ve tried I can’t, I can’t lie to you I can’t, I can’t lie to you
(Verse 2 – French Montana) Coming from the back block, posted like the backdrop Rags to the riches, got rich bought the ragtop Lot of homies died here, look at what the grind did Put me in the same shoes, still do what Sean did More bi**hes, more bi**hes, more riches They don’t want no broke ni**as But don’t call them gold diggers I don’t know, I don’t know, why I ain’t get the picture? Why Cosby slipped her? Why I f**ked em both when they said they sisters? Why Eazy ain’t have the Magic? Why AR never want a trip? And why God took Max and Chinx And he ain’t take me when I got hit?
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3 – Nas & Kanye West) Beyond Pérignon, the fame, the money The Baccarat crystal that’s hanging from the ceilings above me Hearing people whisper, screaming I’m lucky but trust me Nothing come free, shawty tried to keep my son from me Or I could be delirious to take life serious Remain single forever, can’t wife nothing, period I’m a G, I need privacy, media’s never kind to me Ni**as beefing on small time things, we on a dying spree He disrespected y’all Just like a ni**a, go figure He talking reckless, yo I can’t accept it, yo No matter how much I’ve tried For the love of my people, I guess I’ll let it go I can’t figure it out
