everything (Explicit) - Nas/The-Dream/Ye (侃爷)

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

If I had everything

Everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything

I mean anything

I would change everything

Oh yeah

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

Ohhhh

Ohhhh

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

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 **

Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life

And never have enough

If I had everything everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything I mean anything

I would change everything oh yeah

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

If I had everything

Everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything

I mean anything

I would change everything oh yeah

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

11000 square feet mansion

It was a haunted by dead rich whites

Mad a n**ga 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

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

If I had everything everything

I could change anything

If I changed anything

I mean anything

I would change everything

Oh yeah

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

Ohhh

Ohhh
