Kanye West — Anything

[Intro: Kanye West] I mean wow. You know? Man [Verse 1: Kanye West] Lookin' out my loft windows man my dreams became true Lookin' at the mirror, wondering if it's the same dude Lookin' at my closet wondering if it's all about clothes Look right next to me, wondering if it's all about Hop in the car and asked the OnStar where this life goes And I drive so fast I blur the light post They say Drive Slow, I say "I know" Then errrr, away I go And the way I flew In this year or two I know this is what God put me here to do But in this excitement You just might miss A shorty with a demo like "Hey, you might like this" And see He Remind me of me Just a year ago Now he Tellin' me I'm his her-ro-oh I took his CD and asked him what he's lookin' for He said, "Man, I don't know. Maybe a miracle" [Verse 2: Patti Labelle] Time, they say (true story, [kanye west]) There ain't no way Your dreams are gone see the light of day Don't believe That you can't achieve Whatever you're after You can't be swayed By the simple minds That wanna hold you down And in His time The pain you carry Will be left far behind [Pre-Hook: (Patti Labelle) and Mary Mary] If you listen to the sermons And ask the Lord for guidance You will see the many blessings (blessings you have received) When you give Him all the glory (glory) Gonna talk to, don't ignore thee (ignore thee) Listen to all the stories Meant to sing Your name [Hook] Don't let no one stand in your light Change the way you feel inside Nobody on this earth Can tell you what your worth Stand up, your the child of The King And you can do anything [Verse 3: Patti Labelle] You try to please everyone Time to live your life Release those old illusions Stop wasting time and Start embracing His light and let it shine [Verse 4: Patti Labelle] (Don't you listen) when they say (You won't make it) oh it ain't no way (Through the madness) never stop believing in yourself In the morning you'll see All the answers that free You from chains that would seem To keep you standing still [Hook] Don't let no one stand in your light Change the way you feel inside Nobody on this earth Can tell you what your worth Stand up, your the child of The King And you can do anything [Verse 5: Consequence] I got an angel on my shoulder and I know he been warning me To stay out the clubs where the police and warrants be Cause that will lead to prison where the inmates and wardens be But a lot of times we follow them when we know we ought to leave And stay up in the party when we know that we ought to leave But the women be callin' me The liquor be callin' me And what's the sense in Cons tippin' strippers named Diamond? If he gonna be conflicted no different than diamonds And the Lord is the only one that he can confide in So I don't know how you think that you could deny Him I open up the Book and the message is clear But I still be in the hood so the pressure is there To grab at that fast money just to get out of Queens To bag up the work that they give out to fiends But that ain't gonna work if I say what I mean Cause at the end of the day I'm trying to Get Out My Dreams [Hook x2] Don't let no one stand in your light Change the way you feel inside Nobody on this earth Can tell you what your worth Stand up, your a child of The King And I can do anything [Outro] Oh yes I can Yes I can I can do all things [?] Nobody on this earth can tell you what you're worth You're a child of The King Never stop believing in yourself The way you feel inside Nobody on this earth Stand up, stand up And you can do anything (Hallelujah)
