Kanye, 2009 Lyrics - Sho Baraka

How, Jay!? 

This is my Kanye rant 

Tell everybody this is my kanye rant 

This is my Kanye rant 

Can I talk for a minute, yeah 

Can I talk for a second, yeah 

Can I talk 

Let me talk 

You better watch your mouth 

I'd rather pray for forgiveness for what might come out 

Lord, have mercy on the words I speak 

I'll have an opinion but might change my views next week 

Like why, when I share my faith it's called intolerance 

But when they share their hate it's called scholarship 

And why ain't no Whole Foods in the hood 

All I see is fast food here, can we eat good? 

We need black-owned, and less bad loans 

Less liquor shops and pawn shops and we by gold 

And why (shut up) black history always start with slavery 

So even when I'm learning they still putting them chains on me

Photos 

(Shut up!) yo, can I speak for a minute? 

Why everybody on Twitter try to be prolific 

Try to be so gifted, to those typos go swipe on your image 

Get a filter for that [?] 

It's a privilege in fact 

That's like, Stop asking me about the lack of female rappers 

You rappers ain't even ready for what's gone happen after 

We busy being mothers while you chasing platforms 

You fat for them you living backwards 

No wonder why you salty 

Lot's wife taught him well 

On why the Sodom call me 

Probably cause I'm snatching bodies out the fire falling 

Light a match and ask your daddy who's more recalling 

I got something to say 

(Go on say it then) 

I got something to say 

(Go on say it then) 

I got something to say 

(Go on say it then) 

[Hook: Sho Baraka] 

I'm genius! 

This is my Kanye rant 

Everybody listen up to my Kanye rant 

Can I talk for a minute, yeah 

Can I talk for a second, yeah 

Can I talk 

Let me talk 

Is this Rap or a cry for help? 

Because many times, I think that I confuse myself 

I'm just small time, but some think I can change rap 

They think I'm BET They me to bring the game back 

They like Sho, you inspire so many folk 

But what is it all for when you're creative and broke 

I know, I know, money don't solve problems but 

Influence don't stop Sallie Mae from calling 

It's enough to drive a brother to depression 

I'm rich in spirit but my pocket's in recession 

This is [?], I'm only telling you how I feel 

Only fake people gotta remind you they keep it real (I keep it real) 

I'm fighting my pride trying to be the nice guy 

But my Michael Jackson's just trying to see the bright side 

My white friends think I'm all about black power 

My black friends living in ebony towers 

My artist friends have terrible work habits 

My Christian friends got the truth but live passive 

I reproduce their habits, I can't even hate 

I guess we're all brothers but I still can't relate
