[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know

[Verse 1: Common]
They say a n***a lost his mind
But in the scheme of things, I never lost a rhyme
The thin line between love and hatred
I'm the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life
They say life is what you make it
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it
As high as the stakes get when paper get low
I bе tellin' Derick, "Tell Cara gеt us a show"
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low
The richest man ain't necessarily the n***a with dough
They say "You went wild", yeah, that's what they say
My n***as couldn't tell it was me, like Jamie in Ray
Paintin' a day, wit' focused crime, broads, and good wine
They say "Dope is sour, so it's homework and hood crimes"
I stood mine, for forever and a day so goodbye
They never could say, tell 'em, J
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Ah, the sweet taste of victory
Go head and breathe it in like antihistamine
I know they sayin' "Damn, 'Ye snapped with this beat!"
Fuck you expect? I've got a history
Groupie love now, gotta be them wheels
Haters back down, gotta be that steel
I know they can't wait 'til ya outta ya deal
Look how they did D'Angelo, ask him "How do it feel?"
My best friends worry 'bout me
'Cause they know when you famous
And you had made cash
The media aims at us
And you be up so high
If you ever fall off, it feel like a plane crash
But God don't ever give me nothin' I can't handle
So please don't ever give me records I can't sample
So I could vacay where it ain't no channels
But it's quite okay for a gangsta to wear sandals
They say because of the fame and stardom
I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
I guess it's messin' with my health then
And this verse so crazy when I finish
I'm just gon' check myself in, again
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie (Uh, ha!)
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh

[Verse 3: Consequence]
You See my life was kinda simple like Nicole and Paris
'Til I started making dollars like I rolled with Paris
Then we went our seperate ways like annulling a marriage
'Cause they talk behind my back even worse than the past
'Cause while I tried to make it happen they preferred an excuse
And that rubbed me the wrong way like a pervert masseuse
'Cause nothing free about juice when you go to the market
So how you using mine just to corner the market
Now I'm more of a target than the items in Target
And matter fact homie I'm tired of talkin'
So if you got them killers what you need to do is send one
Otherwise start calling me Ben 'cause I been one
Cause back when I sold chronic like it was Dre Day
I was doing this and extra free like AJ
So this is from the heart, it ain't about no pay day
I could give a damn about the things that they say
[Chorus: John Legend & Kanye West]
They say "What's happenin'?"
We say the facts and then they lie
We comin' back for them
They might say, but they don't know
(They say, they say)
They don't know, oh
