 I always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
 
 Way down, way down
 
 One day, they'd tried to bring me down
 
 Always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
 
 Way down, they'd try to bring me down
 
 
 
  [Kanye West:]
 
 
 We gon' to Mass today, we have to pray
 
 Besides what the pastor say, I have to say
 
 Since Pac passed away
 
 Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me
 
 You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything
 
 There'd always be somebody that shoot down any dream
 
 There'll always be haters, that's the way it is
 
 Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids
 
 But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive
 
 'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive
 
 Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time
 
 Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind
 
 And get some leeway on the "he say, she say"
 
 Your girl don't like me, how long has she been gay?
 
 Spanish girls say, "Yo, no hablo inglés."
 
 And everybody want to run to me for their single
 
 It's funny how these wack niggas need my help
 
 Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
 
 Dawg, if I was you, I wouldn't feel myself
 
 Dawg, if I was you, I'd kill myself!
 
 Made a mil' myself and I'm still myself
 
 And I'mma look in the mirror if I need some help
 
 Now I'll speak from the heart, y'all all frontin'
 
 Everybody feel a way about K but at least y'all feel something!
 
 
 
  [Brandy:]
 
 
 What you calling?
 
 I let all in for getting what some get will get ya
 
 What kind of dream we found?
 
 See, I'm often catching crosswinds
 
 Forgetting where the hell I met you
 
 And try to bring me down
 
 
 
  [Brandy:]
 
 
 I always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
 
 Way down, way down
 
 One day, they'd tried to bring me down
 
 Always knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down
 
 Way down, they'd try to bring me down
