Kanye West
Can't Tell Me Nothing (DJ Godfather remix)
I had a dream I can buy my way to heaven
When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace
Oh,oh,oh,oh
I told God I'd be back in a second
Man It's so hard not to act reckless
To who much is given much is tested
Get arrested, guess until, they get the message
I feel the pressure, under more scrutiny
And what I do? Act more stupidly
Bought more jewelry, more Louis V, my mama couldn't get through to me
The drama, people suing me
I'm on T.V. talking like it's just you and me
I'm just saying how I feel man
I ain't one of the Cosby's I ain't go to the Hill man
I guess the money should've changed him
I guess I should've forgot where I came from

La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
La, la, la, la then you can't tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing

Let up the suicide doors
This is my life homey, you decide yours
I know that Jesus died for us
But I couldn't tell you who decide wars
So I parallel double parked that muthafucker sideways
Old folks talking bout back in my day
But homey this is my day
Class started 2 hours ago, oh am I late?
You know I already graduated
And you can live through anything if Magic made it

They say I talk with so much emphasis
They're so sensative
Don't ever fix your lips like collagen
To say something when you gon' end up apologin'
Let me know if it's a problem man
Alright man, holla then

La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
La, la, la, la then you can't tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing

Let the champagne splash, let that man get cash
Let that man get past
You don't need a stop to get gas
If he can move through the rumors, he can drive off the fumes cause
How he move in a room full of nos?
How he stay faithful in a room full of hoes?
Must be the pharaohs, he in tune with his soul
So when he buried in a tomb full of gold
Treasure. What's you pleasure?
Life is a, uh, depending how you dress her
So if the devil wear Prada
Adam Eve wear Nada
I'm in between, but way more fresher
With way less effort, 'cause when you try hard
That's when you die hard
Ya homies looking like "Why God?"
When they reminisce over you, my god

La, la, la, la wait till I get my money right
La, la, la, la then you can't tell me nothing right
Excuse Me, is you saying something?
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
You can't tell me nothing
Uh, uh, you can't tell me nothing
