KANYE WEST LYRICS - Never Let Me Down

"Never Let Me Down"

(feat. Jay-Z, J-Ivy)



[Intro:]

Yeah Grandmama

Told you I won't let you down

Told you I won't let this rap game change me, right?



[Chorus:]

When it comes to being true, at least true to me

One thing I found, one thing I found

Oh no you'll neva let me down,

Get up I get(down)

Get up I get(down)

Get up I get(down)

Get up I get(down)

Get up I get(down)

Get up I get(down)



[Jay-Z:]

Yo, yo first I snatched the street then I snatched the charts,

First had they ear now I hav they're heart,

Rappers came and went,

I've been hear from the start,

Seen them put it together

Watch them take it apart,

See the Rovers roll up wit ribbons

I've seen them re-poed, re-sold and re-driven

So when I reload, he holds #1 position

When u hot I'm hot

And when your feet cold, mines is sizzelin

It's plain to see

Nigga's can't f*** wit me

Cuz ima be that nigga fo life

This is not an image

This is God given

This is hard liven

Mixed wit crystal sipping

It's the most consistent

Hov

Give you the most hits you can fit inside a whole disc and

Nigga I'm home on these charts, y'all niggaz visitin

It's Hov tradition, Jeff Gordan of rap

I'm back to claim pole position, holla at ya boy



[Chorus]



[Kanye West:]

I get down for my grandfather who took my momma

Made her sit that seat where white folks ain't wanna us to eat

At the tender age of 6 she was arrested for the sit in

With that in my blood I was born to be different

Now niggas can't make it to ballots to choose leadership

But we can make it to Jacob and to the dealership

That's why I hear new music

And I just don't be feeling it

Racism still alive they just be concealing it

But I know they don't want me in the damn club

They even made me show I. D to get inside of Sam's club

I did dirt and went to church to get my hands scrubbed

Swear I've been baptised at least 3 or 4 times

But in the land where nigga's praise

Yukons and getting paid

It gon' take a lot more than coupons to get us saved

Like it take a lot more than do-rags to get your waves

Noting sadder than that day my girl father past away

So I promised to Mr Rany I'm gonna marry your daughter

And u know I gotta thank u for they way that she was brought up

And I know that u were smiling when u see that car I bought her

And u sent tears from heaven when u seen my car get balled up

But I can't complaint what the accident did to my Left Eye

Cuz look what a accident did to Left Eye

First Aaliyah and now romeo must die

I know a got angels watching me from the other side



[Chorus x2]



[J. Ivy:]

We are all here for a reason on a particular path

You don't need a curriculum to know that you are part of the math

Cats think I'm delirious, but I'm so damn serious

That's why I expose my soul to the globe, the world

I'm trying to make it better for these little boys and girls

I'm not just another individual, my spirit is a part of this

That's why I get spiritual, but I get my hymns from Him

So it's not me, it's He that's lyrical

I'm not a miracle, I'm a heaven-sent instrument

My rhythmatic regimen navigates melodic notes for your soul and your mental

That's why I'm instrumental

Vibrations is what I'm into

Yeah, I need my loot by rent day

But that is not what gives me the heart of Kunte Kinte

I'm tryina give us "us free" like Cinque

I can't stop, that's why I'm hot

Determination, dedication, motivation

I'm talking to you, my many inspirations

When I say I can't, let you or self down

If I were of the highest cliff, on the highest riff

And you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life in my grip

I would never, ever let you down

And when these words are found

Let it been known that God's penmanship has been signed with a language called love

That's why my breath is felt by the deaf

And why my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind

I, too, dream in color and in rhyme

So I guess I'm one of a kind in a full house

Cuz whenever I open my heart, my soul, or my mouth

A touch of God reigns out



[Chorus]



[Jay-Z (Kanye West)]

Who else you know been hot this long,

(Oh Ya, you know we ain't finished)

Started from nothing but he got this strong,

(The ROC is in the building)

Built the ROC from a pebble, pedalled rock before I met you,

Pedalled bikes, got my nephews pedal bikes because they special,

Let you tell that man I'm falling,

Well somebody must've caught him,

Cause every fourth quarter, I like to Mike Jordan 'em,

Number one albums, what I got like four of dem,

More of dem on the way,

The Eight Wonder on the way,

Clear the way, I'm here to stay,

Y'all can save the chitter chat, this and that, this and Jay,

Dissin' Jay 'ill get you mased,

When I start spitting them lyrics, niggas get very religious,

Six Hail Maries, please Father forgive us,

Young, the Archbishop, the Pope John Paul of y'all niggas,

The way y'all all follow Jigga,

Hov's a living legend and I tell you why,

Everybody wanna be Hov and Hov still alive.
