Nothing to learn from Kanye
He’s not a leader, not a scholar
Just a loud mouth out to make dollar
He’s not a rebel, not a thug
Like dirt keep him swept under the rug
I’m not a fan of Kanye West, gold digga was ok
He’s not making anything great, who gives a fuck what he has to say!
There’s nothing to learn from Kanye West
Petty pretty pawn
There’s nothing to learn from Kanye West
Move on, move on
Nothing to learn from Kanye
He’s not a poet, he’s not a role model
Just a rich spoiled washed up debacle
No politician, he’s just a joke
No fire, all smoke
It’s not about music, but this wrong next level shit
Show your ass in Washington, the White House little trick
Basking in the news cycle
Hide behind the pen
Kissing up to dictators
Sold your soul to them
Hard to tell the truth
Yezus or a fraud?
George bush hates black people?
Sorry... if we don’t applaud!
Nothing to learn from Kanye
When come the storms of midnight cries
The floods of alibis
The wind against the panes
The song that brings me back to ground
My clouded angel's sound
her sleeping breath's refrain
You can have your games of war and chance
I'm going home where I know all the outcomes in advance
You come on easy, when I'm frayed and worn
You're like sleeping in on a rainy morn
You calm my troubles and soothe my fears, forlorn
You're like sleeping in on a rainy morn
I used to know a man in need
He shouted at the sea
To voice his foolish rage
I know a lady, bears his trials
She shakes her head and smiles
The tempest dissipates
You can have your games of war and chance
I'm going home where I know all the outcomes in advance
You come on easy, when I'm frayed and worn
You're like sleeping in on a rainy morn
You calm my troubles and soothe my fears, forlorn
You're like sleeping in on a rainy morn
SHE’S A WORK OF ART
SHE COULD BE IN A MUSEUM
LIKE A BEAUTIFUL PAINTING
FROM UP ABOVE
SHE’S AN ELEGANT LADY
LIKE QUEEN ELIZABETH
SHE CARRYS HERSELF WELL
SHE CARRYS HERSELF WELL
Ooh ooh she’s so fine
Ooh ooh she’s so divine
Ooh ooh She’s a one of a kind
SHES A WORK OF ART
LIKE A HOLLYWOOD MOVIE STAR
SHES ON THE COVER OF VOGUE
SHES ON THE COVER OF VOGUE
SHES A SUPER MODEL
LIKE CHARLIZE THERON
SHE LOOKS SO VERY CHIC
IN HER FASHIONABLE CLOTHES
SHE SAUNTERS DOWN STREET SO NICE
SHOPS ON RODEO DRIVE
AFTERNOON TEA SO NICE
WITH THE CAPTAINS WIFE
When the rains came in
They robbed you of your colors
Robbed you of your colors
You fall
Down, down, round and round
The west wind trumpet sounds
West wind trumpet sounds
You fly
Hold on it’s only a phase
Come on out and play
When its gone it won’t be long
So clap your hands and sing a song
Clap your hands and sing along
E pluribus unum
Jubilant requiem
Jubilant requiem
You sing (in harmony)
Hold on it’s only a phase
Come on out and play
When its gone it won’t be long
So clap your hands and sing a song
Clap your hands and sing along
Mike Tyson!
