Ye Vs The People Lyrics - Kanye West

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

Oh, oh 

I had for us 

Turned my dreams into dust 

I watch a phone that, I had for us 

Turned my dreams into dust

I know Obama was Heaven-sent 

But ever since Trump won, it proved that I could be President 

Yeah you can, at what cost though? 

Don't that go against the teachings that Ye taught for? 

Yo, Tip, I hear your side and everybody talk, though 

But ain't goin' against the grain everything I fought for? 

Prolly so, Ye, but where you tryna go with this? 

It's some shit you just don't align with and don't go against 

You just readin' the headlines, you don't see the fine print 

You on some choosin'-side shit, I'm on some unified shit 

It's bigger than your selfish agenda 

If your election ain't gon' stop 

police from murderin' niggas, then shit... 

Bruh, I never ever stopped fightin' for the people 

Actually wearin' the hat'll show people that we equal 

You gotta see the vantage point of the people 

What makes you feel equal makes them feel evil 

See that's the problem with this damn nation 

All Blacks gotta be Democrats, man, 

we ain't made it off the plantation 

Fuck who you choose as your political party 

You representin' dudes just seem crude and cold-hearted 

With blatant disregard for the people who put you in position 

Don't you feel an obligation to them? 

I feel an obligation to show people new ideas 

And if you wanna hear 'em, there go two right here 

Make America Great Again had a negative reception 

I took it, wore it, rocked it, gave it a new direction 

Added empathy, care and love and affection 

And y'all simply questionin' my methods 

What you willin' to lose for the point to be proved? 

This shit is stubborn, selfish, bullheaded, even for you 

You wore a dusty ass hat to represent the same views 

As white supremacy, man, we expect better from you 

All them times you sounded crazy, we defended you, homie 

Not just to be let down when we depend on you, homie 

That's why it's important to know what direction you're goin' now 

'Cause everything that you built can be destroyed and torn down 

You think I ain't concerned about how I affect the past? 

I mean, that hat stayed in my closet like 'bout a year and a half 

Then one day I was like, "Fuck it, I'ma do me" 

I was in the sunken place and then I found the new me 

Not worried about some image that I gotta keep up 

Lot of people agree with me, but they too scared to speak up 

The greater good of the people is first 

Have you considered all the damage and the people you hurt? 

You had a bad idea, and you're makin' it worse 

This shit's just as bad as Catholic preachers rapin' in church 

Y'all been leadin' with hate, see I just approach it different 

Like a gang truce, the first Blood to shake the Crip's hand 

I know everybody emotional 

Is it better if I rap about crack? Huh? 'Cause it's cultural? 

Or how about I'ma shoot you, or fuck your bitch? 

Or how about all this Gucci, 'cause I'm fuckin' rich 

You'll deal with God for the lack of respect 

Startin' to make it seem like Donnie cut you a check 

Now you toyin' with hot lava, better be careful with that 

What's it mean to gain the world if you ain't standin' for shit? 

Okay I gotta say it, Ye, you sound high as a bitch 

Yeah, genocide and slavery, we should just try and forget 

And all that free thought shit, find a better defense 

But if Ye just stuck in his way, he can leave it at that 

Fuck it 

Alright T.I.P., we could be rappin' about this all day, 

man, why don't we just cut the beat off and let the people talk?
