We Major Lyrics

You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up
And watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that n'gak, I wanna fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep it blazing
Towel under the door, I'm smokin' to the Days Inn
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's a chaser
Turn nothin' to something now pimpin' that's the Savior
Best things are green now pimpin' get your paper
High off the ground, our status skyscraper
Cool off thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?

Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on
Feeling better than some head on a Sunday afternoon
Better than a chick that say yes to soon
Until you have a daughter, that's what I call karma
And you pray to God she don't grow breasts too soon
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
Niggas hats broke off that's how we grow up
Why else you think shorty's write rhymes just to blow up?
Get they first car and then IRS show up
He ain't never had shit but he had that nine
Nigga come through flickin' and he had that shine
Put two and two together in a little bad weather
Gon' be a whole family on that funeral line
Ask the reverend was the strip club cool
If my tips help send a pretty girl through school
That's all I want like wino's want they good whiskey
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me
You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up
And watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that n'gak, I wanna fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep it blazing
Towel under the door, I'm smokin' to the Days Inn
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's a chaser
Turn nothin' to something now pimpin' that's the Savior
Best things are green now pimpin' get your paper
High off the ground, our status skyscraper
Cool off thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
First line, should it be about the hoes or the ice?
4-4's or Black Christ? Both flows would be nice
Rap about big paper or the black man plight
At the studio console asked my man to the right
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
He said, “Nas, what the fans want is 'Illmatic', 'Stillmatic'”
Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel
Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed
Now I'm a free agent and I'm thinking it's time
To build my very own Motown
'Cuz rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s
And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed
I survived the livest niggas around
Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
Like better late than never it's orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up
And watch how we roll up and
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
I take a sip of that n'gak, I wanna fuck
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
But really what's amazing is how I keep it blazing
Towel under the door, I'm smokin' to the Days Inn
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
Hypnotic for Henny, now nigga that's a chaser
Turn nothin' to something now pimpin' that's the Savior
Best things are green now pimpin' get your paper
High off the ground, our status skyscraper
Cool off thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Come on, homie, we major
We major?
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
Like better late than never it's orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
Can I talk my shit again? Can I talk my shit again?
I can't believe I'm back up in this mu'fukka
I'ma be late tho'
I figga out what I'm finna wear, yeah
The Roc is definitely in the building
Good music def in the building
I gotta say what's up to Tony Williams
On the vocals, fiends rock good music don't you agree
Don't you agree?
And John Brion on the keys right now
And Warren Cambele on the keys right now
So they asked me, why you call it late registration man?
'Cause we taking these motherfuckers back to school
And if you know this part, feel free to sing along
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
Like better late than never it's orientation
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
You can't do what we do baby
You can't do what we do baby
You can't do what we do baby
Yeah

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Kanye West

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.
