Everything I Am Lyrics - Graduation - Kanye West

Damn 

Here we go again 

Common passed on this beat I made it to a jam 

But everything I'm not made me everything I am 

Damn 

Here we go again 

People talking shit but when the shit hit the fan 

Everything I'm not made me everything I am 

I'll never be picture perfect Beyonce 

Be light as Al B. or black as Chauncey 

Remember him from Blackstreet 

he was black as the street was 

I never be laid back as this beat was 

I never could see why people'll reach a 

Fake ass facade that they couldn't keep up 

You see how I creeped up

You see how I played a big role in Chicago like Queen Latifah 

I never rock a mink coat in the winter time like Killa Cam 

Or rock some mink boots in the summer time like Will-I-Am 

Let me know if you feel it man 

Cause everything I'm not made me everything I am 

Damn 

Here we go again 

Everybody saying whats not for him 

But everything I'm not made me everything I am 

Damn 

Here we go again 

People talking shit but when the shit hit the fan 

Everything I'm not made me everything I am 

And I'm back to tear it up 

haters start your engines I hear em gearing up 

Photos 

People talk so much shit about me in barber shops 

They forget to get they haircut 

Ok fair enough the streets is flairing up 

Cause they want gun talk or I don't wear enough 

Baggy clothes, Reebok's or adidas 

Can I add that he do spazz out at his shows 

So say goodbye to the NAACP awards 

Goodbye to the India Arie awards 

They rather give me the n-nigga please award 

But I'll just take the I got a lot of cheese award 

Damn 

Here we go again 

But everything I'm not made me everything I am 

Damn 

Here we go again 

People talking shit but when the shit hit the fan 

Everything I'm not made me everything I am 

I know people wouldn't usually rap this 

But I got the facts to back this 

Just last year Chicago had over 600 caskets 

Man killing's some wack shit 

Oh I forgot except for when niggas is rappin 

Do you know what it feel like when people is passin 

He got changed over his chain a block off Ashland 

I need to talk to somebody pastor 

The church want tie so I can't afford to pay 

Pink slip on my door cause I can't afford to stay 

My 15 seconds up but I got more to say 

Thats enough Mr. West please no more today 

Damn 

Here we go again 

Everybody saying whats not for him 

But everything I'm not made me everything I am 

Damn 

Here we go again 

People talking shit but when the shit hit the fan 

Everything I'm not made me everything I am
