Verse 1 [Chingy]

Let it be known I saw the light when I'm carried up

D-boys selling weight, I'm selling hurry up

Trying to put back this truth before they bury us

You think they don't care about us ? Really, they scared of us!

You live in fear of them that's why they stay ahead of us

You worship false idols - them, instead of us

I put my faith in me. In that dollar you trust

Dog eat dog world. And a model you lust

Tell the Vatican to share the facts

'Bout the infinite conscience you lack

Hip-hop's resurrected and the sponsors are black

On the tour to wake up and the concerts are packed

Shout out to Jay-Z - gave me inspiration

To rearrange the rules and create a nation

Realize with your real eyes

Believe them tricks is all you want, but they're still lies

In the stillness, in my life fulfillment

[...] live life as villains

Now that I know what has been elevated

I'm the anointed one, who's been illuminated

Chorus [Kanye]
