letra de Good Morning
Good morning [x4]

Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh

Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed

I mean, damn, did you even see the test

You got D's mother fucker, D's, Rosie Perez

And yes, barely pass any and every class

Looking at every ass

Cheated on every test

I guess this is my dissertation

Homie, this shit is basic

Welcome to graduation

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

On this day we become legendary

Everything we dreamed of

I'm like a fly Malcolm X

Buy any jeans necessary

Detroit wear cleaned up

From the streets of the league

From an eigth to a key

But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets

From the moments of pain

Look how far we done came

Haters saying ya changed

Now ya doing ya thing

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Good morning

Look at the valedictorian scared of the future

While I hop in the Delorean

Scared-to-face-the-world complacent career student

Some people graduate, but we still stupid

They tell you read this, eat this, don't look around

Just peep this, preach us, teach us, Jesus

Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness

After all of that, you receive this

Good morning

Hustlers, that's if you're still living

Get on down

Every time that we hear them

Good morning

Hustlers, that's if you're still living

Get on down

Every time that we hear them

Good morning

Hustlers, that's if you're still living

Get on down

Every time that we hear them

Good morning

Hustlers, that's if you're still living

Get on down

Get on down

Get, get on down

Get on down

Get, get on down

letra de Champion
[chorus:]

(Did you realize

That you were a champion?

In their eyes)

Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib

Just a little somethin' show you how we live

Everybody want it but it ain't that serious

That's that shit

So if you're gonna do it, do it just like this

(Did you realize

That you were a champion?

In their eyes)

You don't see just how wild the crowd is?

You don't see just how fly my style is?

I don't see why I need a stylist

When I shop so much I can speak Italian

I don't know I just wanted better for my kids

And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects

But everytime I want it, layaway or a deposit

My dad'll say "When you see clothes close your eyelids"

We was sort of like Will Smith and his son

In the movie I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones

'cause every summer he'll get some

Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from

And I don't know what he did for dough

But he'd sent me back to school with a new wardrobe and hey!

[chorus]

When it feel like living's harder than dyin'

For me givin' up's way harder than tryin'

Lauryn Hill say her heart was in Zion

I wish her heart still was in rhymin'

'cause who the kids gonna listen to? Huh?

I guess me if it isn't you

Last week I paid a visit to the institute

They got the Drop Out keepin' kids in the school

I guess I'll clean up my act like Prince'll do

If not for the pleasure, least for the principle

They got the CD then got to see me drop gems

Like I dropped out of P.E.

They used to feel invisible

Now they know they invincible

(Did you realize

That you were a champion?

In their eyes)

This is the story of a champion

Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns

Stand up stand up! Here he comes

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

This is the story of a champion

Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns

Stand up stand up! Here he comes

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

I WonderVer letra 4:03

letra de I Wonder
Find your dreams come true

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means to find your dreams

I've been waiting on this my whole life

These dreams be waking me up at night

You say I think I'm never wrong

You know what, maybe you're right, aight

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means to find your dreams

You say he get on your fucking nerves

You hope that he get what he deserves, word

Do you even remember what the issue is

You just trying to find where the tissue is

You can still be who you wish you is

It ain't happen yet

And that's what the intuition is

When you hop back in the car

Drive back to the crib

Run back to their arms

The smokescreens

The chokes and the screams

You ever wonder what it all really mean

And I wonder if you know

What it means, what it means

And I wonder if you know

What it means to find your dreams

And I'm back on my grind

A psychic read my lifeline

Told me in my lifetime

My name would help light up the Chicago skyline

And that's what I'm

Seven o'clock, that's primetime

Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines

Why he keep giving me hot lines

I'm a star, how could I not shine

How many ladies in the house

How many ladies in the house without a spouse

Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused

What you about

On that independent shit

Trade it all for a husband and some kids

You ever wonder what it all really mean

You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

So I roll through good

Y'all pop the trunk, I pop the hood, Ferrari

And she got the goods

And she got that ass, I got to look, sorry

Yo it's got to be cause I'm seasoned

Haters give me them salty looks, Lawry's

50 told me go 'head switch the style up

And if they hate then let 'em hate

And watch the money pile up, the good life

Welcome to the good life

Where we like the girls who ain't on TV

Cause they got more (Ass than the models)

The good life, so keep it coming' with the bottles

Till she feel boozed like she bombed out Apollo

The good life, it feel like Houston

It feel like Philly, it feel like D.C.

It feel like VA, or the Bay, or Ye

Ayy, this is the good life

Homie, tell me what's good

Why I only got a problem when you in the hood

Like I'm new in the hood, the only thing I wish?

(I wish a nigga would)

He probably think he could, but, but

I don't think he should

50 told me go 'head switch the style up

And if they hate then let 'em hate

And watch the money pile up, the good life

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, I'm good

[Verse 3]

Have you ever popped champagne on a plane

While getting' some brain

Whipped it out, she said "I never seen snakes on a plane"

Whether you broke or rich you gotta get biz

Having' money's the everything that having' it is

I was splurging' on trizz

But when I get my card back activated

I'm back to Vegas cause

I always had a passion for flashing' before I had it

I close my eyes and imagine, the good life

[T-Pain]

Is the good life better than the life I live

When I thought that I was gonna go crazy

And now my grandmamma ain't the only girl calling me baby

And if you feeling' me now then put your hands up in the sky

And let me hear you say hey, hey, hey, ooh

I'm good

letra de Flashing Lights
Flashing lights, lights

flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]

She don't believe in shootin' stars,

but she believe in shoes & cars

Wood floors in the new apartment,

couture from the store's department

You more like L'eau de Stardee shit,

I'm more of the, trips to Florida

Order the h'orderves, views of the Water

Straight from the page of your favorite author

And the weather so breezy,

man why can't life always be this easy

She in the mirror dancing so sleazy,

I get a call like where are you Yeezy

Try to hit you with a 'Oeur de Whopee'

Till I get flashed by the paparazzi

Damn, these nigga's got me,

I hate these nigga's more than the Nazis

[Dwele]

As I recall, I know you love to show off

But I never thought that you would take it this far

But what do I know? Flashing lights, lights

What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

[Kanye West]

I know it's been a while,

Sweetheart, we hard-ly talk, I was doing my thing

I know I was foul bay-bay,

a-bay late-ly you been all on my brain,

And if somebody would've told me a month ago

Fronting though, yo I wouldn't wanna know

If somebody would've told me a year ago

it'd go, get this difficult

Feeling like Katrina with no fema

Like Martin with no Gina

Like a flight with no visa

First class with the seat back I still see ya

In my past, you on the other side of the glass

Of my memory's museum,

I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,

come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar

[Dwele]

As I recall, I know you love to show off

But I never thought that you would take it this far

What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

What do I know? Flashing lights, lights

As you recall, you know I love to show off

But you never thought that I would take it this far

But what do you know? Flashing lights, lights

What do you know? Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights

Flashing lights, lights

[Fade out]

Lights, lights, lights, lights...

House on the hill

Two doors from Tracey Ross

letra de Homecoming
[Intro - Kanye West]

Yeee.

And you say Chi city,

Chi city, Chi city

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

I'm coming home again.

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

I'm in home again.

[Verse 1 - Kanye West]

I met this girl when I was three years old

And what I loved most she had so much soul

She said, excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me- but,

My name is Wendy and, I like to blow trees and,

From that point I never blow her off,

They can come from outta town I like to show her off,

They like to act tough, she like to tow em off,

And make em straighten up their act, cause she know they soft

And when I grew up she showed me how to go downtown

And at nighttime my face lit up so astounding

And I told her in my heart is where she always be

She never mess with entertainers cause they always leave

She said it felt like they walked and drove on me

Knew I was gang affiliated got on TV and told on me

I guess it's why last winter she got so cold on me

She said, Ye keep making that, keep making that platinum

and gold for me

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

I'm in home again

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Maybe we can start again

[Verse 2 - Kanye West]

But if you really care for her, then you would n-never

hit the airport,

To follow your dream, sometimes I still talk to her, but

when I talk to her

It always seems like she talking about me,

She said you left your kids and they just like you

They wanna rap and make show beats just like you,

But they just not you and I just got to

Talking bout what she can try to do just not new

Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong

I guess you never know what you got till its gone

I guess this is why I'm here and I cant come back home

And guess when I heard that when I was back home

Every interview I'm representing you making you proud

Reach for the stars so if you fall you land on a cloud

Jump in the crowd, spark you lighters, wave em around,

And if you don't know by now, I'm talking about Chit town,

[Chorus - Chris Martin]

Do you think about me now and then?

Do you think about me now and then?

Cause I'm coming home again

Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Im in home again

Maybe, do you remember when fireworks at lake Michigan

Oooh, now I'm coming home again

Maybe we can start again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Coming home again

Loyee oyeee oh, loyee oyeee oh

Coming home again

Maybe we can start again
