I don’t usually listen to rap (i.e. never) but due to Shivon’s influence (negative or otherwise) I’ve grown to like Kanye West’s stuff. He’s got a lot of arrogance, but he’s also got some very well thought out lines. Anyway, there are some grammatical mistakes I couldn’t help myself with correcting, but other ones were so heinous that I left them intact. Also, there are a few potty-mouth words but not used in a particularly excessive way so I left those in too. Have fun.
[One day you'll] find your dreams come true.
And I wonder if you know
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?
You say he gets 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 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 means?
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 why 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 means.
You ever wonder if you’ll find your dreams.
- Kanye West, I Wonder
