Kanye West — Apologize

[Intro] Ah-ahem This something I did Something I can explain how to I can't speak for everybody, but, uh Man... [Verse 1] There must be more good women than men, percentage-wise So her chance of having a husband just minimized That's why a lot of girls claim they ain't into guys And mess with other girls part-time to improvise I knew she wasn’t bi, no, I seen it in her eyes But I'm like any other guy, trying to get in her thighs She telling me 'bout how black people should enterprise And I'm like, if you don't get your ass in this ride from Enterprise That I rented yesterday and gotta have in by five With the gas fully filled up like I didn't drive Told her I had a girl, dog, fuck it, I didn't lie Told her this rap game is alright, I'm just getting by She had a lil' weed and we get a lil' high And I'm looking in her eyes and I'm loving her vibe Told me back in '95, she fell in love with the Tribe Boo, back in '92, I was just like you Please, don't be confused by the ice and jewels I'm like any other nigga, buy ice to stay cool Like any other nigga that claim they hate school And think, "Yeah, Free's banging but she's no Rachel" [Chorus] We ball 'til we fall, hit the mall After we hit, don't call We fill your lives with nothing but lies And I would like to apologize We ball 'til we fall, hit the mall After we hit, don't call We fill your lives with nothing but lies And I would like to apologize But you can't stand right here And tell me everything is going to be alright 'Cause until the day a real man stands up I'm going to have to improvise [Verse 2] Was it something I did wrong? Yeah, I know I'm wrong She's at home alone and I'm always gone Hate it when she mad but more when she passive Now she on the internet, looking for classes Out of state though, man, that hurt, yo But I got work though, and I'm at work, yo And she don't call a lot And when she do, she pouring out her heart "You never listen to me," then the call drop, mm And I promised her everything Told her when I get a deal, I'll get her a wedding ring But when I got my deal, I was back in the ring Fighting my urges, strip club splurges Never had money, so I felt like a virgin And I'm trying to break the bank's cherry Tryin' to see, can I afford Canaries With a Ferrari and a dinner date with Halle Berry? Went from fifty G's to fifteen hundred in a week Now I'm trying to call One ring, two rings, seven rings, eight rings Her mother picked up the phone Like, "She in school and she don't stay here no more" I guess there's more good women than men, percentage-wise So her chance of having a husband just minimized I guess that's why she says she ain't into guys And focus on school full-time to improvise [Chorus] We ball 'til we fall, hit the mall After we hit, don't call We fill your lives with nothing but lies So I would like to apologize We ball 'til we fall, hit the mall After we hit, don't call We fill your lives with nothing but lies And I would like to apologize No, no, you can't stand right here And tell me everything is gonna be alright 'Cause until that real man stands up I'm going to have to improvise You can't stand right here And tell me everything is gonna be alright 'Cause until that real man stands up I'm going to have to improvise You can't stand right here And tell me everything is gonna be alright 'Cause until that real man stands up I'm going to have to improvise
