[Intro: Rihanna + Kanye West] Man I can understand how it might be Kinda hard to love a girl like me I don't blame you much for wanting to be free I just wanted you to know Swizz told me let the beat rock
[Verse 1: Kanye West + (Swizz Beatz)] For all my Southside niggas that know me best I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex Why? I made that bitch famous (Goddamn) I made that bitch famous For all the girls that got dick from Kanye West If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best Why? They mad they ain't famous (Goddamn) They mad they still nameless (Talk that talk, man) Her man in the store tryna try his best But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh But we still hood famous (Goddamn) Yeah we still hood famous
[Hook: Rihanna + Swizz Beatz] I just wanted you to know I loved you better than your own kin did From the very start I don't blame you much for wanting to be free Wake up, Mr. West! Oh, he's up! I just wanted you to know
[Verse 2: Chance The Rapper]
Midwest coast back nigga
And don't say nigga unless of course you black nigga
Free country they say that shit in Tennessee
Cuz I got all they white daughters drinking Hennessy
I'ma go to Sal's, put some niggas on a wall
I might go to Oz take some niggas off the wall
Got the key to the city, the streets on lock
Tryna take 'em to the top, they say Chano so involved
I know
King Dolo, 3rd, even the group solo
It's been that way since my shirt had 2 polos
We the kids they keep in the back
I'm in love with my city, bitch I sleep in my hat
I'm a free agent, go and do the math
Underdog of underground, Tubman with the path
They askin' bout the help and all I do is laugh
I say God my only boss, even Moses had a staff
