Dear Ye I got some shit to say
First and foremost I been a fan since like 11th grade
When I was down and out I played production that you made
Hoping Jesus walks but probably wouldn't get far where I was raised
You don't know my name I'm off the corner common to the game
I dodged niggas testifying through the wire heard em say
Flashing lights or the grave was the pain that we was bound to
But truth the sweet serenade the good life whispers turn you to a monster
Gotta have it til niggas in Paris with the throne conquered
You lost your way sometimes we all need GPS
Oppressed taught that it's us versus us for VVS
Pay tithes to the jeweler from temptation of the flesh
I don't think you anti Jewish just explain shit incorrect
Yeah it's truth that we still got these chains up on our necks
It's a saying for this shit
Wanna know who rule identify it
Speak the truth see who you are not allowed to criticize
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
See this the game we gotta play when our power held for ransom
Listen more and talk less Sway really had the answers
And your comments about the movement was foolish
Views through a blurred lens simply put it was stupid
Candace Owens a house nigga with no real solutions
You from Chicago nigga where everyday young niggas shooting
What would Donda think about your new position
See I too done been in court fighting for my children
I understand how this system treat us black fathers
Use us as a ATM until we got flat pockets
But you too influential to be used as pawn
Take a 100 million put it in the hood that you from
See it's crime in our community cause it's poverty there
Corner store on every corner but no lottery checks
We scream black lives matter cause they don't to them
See white lives ain't never murdered just because of skin
We broken men new rims in prison they won't open gyms
I'm dropping jewels I hope you get to hear these spoken gems
They brought us here we built the country then they gave us nothing
Created walls to stop us ever from becoming something yeah
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
Wake up Mr. West
