Gorgeous Lyrics


Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, downNot for nothing, I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, downPenitentiary chances, the devil dances
And eventually answers to the call of autumn
All them fallin' for the love of ballin'
Get caught with 30 rocks, the cop looked like Alec BaldwinEnd of century anthems, based off inner-city tantrums
Based off the way we was branded
Face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
And at the airport they check all through my bagAnd tell me that it's random, but we stay winnin'
This week has been a bad massage, I need a happy endin'
And a new beginning and a new fitted
And some job opportunities as lucrativeThis the real world, homie school finished
They done stole your dreams, you don't know who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats A.I.D.S.

I won't be satisfied until all my niggas get it, get it?Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, downIs hip hop just a euphemism for a new religion?
The soul music of the slaves that the youth is missin'
But this is more than just my road to redemption
Malcom West had the whole nation standin' at attentionAs long as I'm on colo smilin', they think they got me
But they'd try to crack me if they ever see a black me
I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
If a nigga ain't shootin' the junk or runnin' a track meetBut this pimp is at the top of Mount Olympus
Ready for the world's games, this is my Olympics
We make 'em say "oh" 'cause the world so pimpish
Choke a "South Park" writer with a fish dickI insisted they get up off of this dick
And these drugs, niggas can't resist it
Remind me when they tried to have Ali enlisted
If I ever wasn't the greatest nigga I must've missed itAin't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, downI need more drinks and less lights
And that American Apparel girl in just tights
She told the director she tryin' to get into school
He said take them glasses off and get in the poolIt's been a while since I watched the tube
'Cause like a Crip said I got way too many blues for any more bad news
I was lookin' at my resume, feelin' real fresh today
Rewrite history, I don't believe in yesterdayAnd what's black beatle anyway? A fuckin' roach
I guess that's why they got me sittin' in fuckin' coach
My guy said I need a different approach
'Cause people is lookin' at me like I'm sniffin' cokeIt's not funny anymore, try different jokes
Tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, X and O
And kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I got it
Play strings for the dramatic, ain't none of that whack shitAct like I ain't had a belt in two classes
I ain't got it, I'm comin' after whoever who has it
I'm comin' after whoever who has it
You blowin' up, that's good, fantasticThat y'all, it's like that y'all
I don't really give a fuck about it at all
'Cause the same people that try to black ball me
Forgot about two things: my black ballsAin't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, downYo, I done copped Tims, lived in Linz's kid, Armani suits
Fresh fruits, vally boots, and Benzs
Countin' up, smokin', one cuff
Live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbin' a bluntFuck it, steam about a hundred and one L's
Kites off to jail, buying sweats, runnin' up in Stetson
Nigga had game, was special
It matched every black haired night throwin' dice for decimalsThe older head, boulder head, betrayin' the soldier head
Make sure you write in the field, not a soldier dead
That meant code red, bent off the black skunk
The black dutch, back of the old shedIf you can't live, you dyin', you can't rewind
Keep it real or keep it movin', keep grindin'
Keep shinin', to every young man
This is a plan, learn from others like your brothers Rae and KanyeNot for nothing, I've foreseen it, I dreamed it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
No more chances, if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Kanye Omari West (born June 8, 1977 in Atlanta, Georgia) is a Grammy award winning rapper, producer, author, designer and singer.

He began making beats and rapping in the early 90s in Chicago, IL, United States when he formed the rap group Go Getters with Chicago natives GLC and Really Doe. He later gained nationwide popularity in New York when he began producing tracks for artists such as Jay-Z, Twista, Mase, Talib Kweli and Alicia Keys.

In 2004 (after being pushed aside by many record companies who felt he wasn't a marketable hip hop artist), he managed to release his debut solo album, The College Dropout on Roc-a-Fella Records. The album received critical acclaim, defining the style for which West would become known: "wordplay" and heavy sampling of 70s soul and rnb tracks. He is also known for his politically-charged rhymes and controversial behavior both inside and outside the realms of music.

He has since released four more albums, all of which have received numerous awards, high commercial success and critical acclaim. Late Registration (2005); Graduation (2007); 808s & Heartbreak (2008); and his current album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010).

Personal life:
West was born in Atlanta, Georgia. When he was three years old (as mentioned in Hey Mama) his parents divorced, and he moved with his mother to Chicago, Illinois. His father, Ray West, was a former Black Panther; one of the first black photojournalists at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution; and is now a Christian counselor. Kanye’s late mother, Dr. Donda West, worked as a Professor of English at Clark Atlanta University, and the Chair of the English Department at Chicago State University before retiring to serve as Kanye’s manager. He was later raised in an upper middle class background, attending Polaris High School in suburban Oak Lawn, Illinois after living in Chicago.

After attending The American Academy of Art, a Chicago art school, West attended Chicago State University but eventually dropped out due to poor grades and in order to continue working on his music career. While attending school, West produced for local artists, including on rapper Grav’s debut album ‘Down to Earth’. He later gained fame by producing hit singles for major hip hop/R&B artists, including Jay-Z, Talib Kweli, Cam’ron, Paul Wall, Common, Mobb Deep, Jermaine Dupri, Scarface, The Game, Alicia Keys, Janet Jackson and John Legend among others. He also “ghost-produced” for his once mentor Deric Angelettie according to his song “Last Call” and the credits of Nas’ “Poppa Was a Playa.”

West’s style of production often utilizes pitched-up vocal samples, usually from soul songs, with his own drums and instruments. The first major label song he produced was "The Truth" by Beanie Sigel, and his first major release featuring his trademark vocal sampling style was “This Can’t Be Life,” a track from Jay-Z’s The Dynasty: Roc La Familia. West said he sped up the drum beat of Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive” to use as a replacement for his drums on “This Can’t Be Life.”

West has said that Wu-Tang Clan producer RZA influenced him in his style, and has said on numerous occasions that Wu-Tang rappers Ghostface Killah and Ol’ Dirty Bastard were some of his all-time favorites. Said by Kanye West: “Wu-Tang? Me and my friends talk about this all the time… We think Wu-Tang had one of the biggest impacts as far as a movement. From slang to style of dress, skits, the samples. Similar to the [production] style I use, RZA has been doing that.”

Kanye West recently won 4 Grammy Awards for his album Graduation. He performed his hit song “Stronger” at the 2008 Grammys and a new lyrical version of “Hey Mama” as a tribute to his mother’s death in 2007.

On November 22, 2010, Kanye West released his fifth album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. His five albums, all of which have gone platinum, have received numerous awards, including a cumulative fourteen Grammys, and critical acclaim. All have been very commercially successful, with My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy becoming his fourth consecutive #1 album in the U.S. upon release. On 17 December 2010, Kanye West was voted as the MTV Man of the Year by MTV.
