They Say (Remix)

Lyrics

[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 nigga 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 nigga with dough They say "You went wild", yeah, that's what they say My niggas 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
