[Chorus: John Legend]
They say “What’s happenin’?”
We say the facts and if, they lie…
We comin’ back for them
They might say… but they don’t know!
(They say, They say…)
They don’t knowwwww

[Verse 1: Common]
They say a n—a lost his mind
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme
The thin line between love and hatred
I’m the black pill in the Matrix, the saturated life
They say life is what you make it
So I wait quick on a spaceship so I can take it
As high as the stakes get when paper get low
I be tellin Derick, “Tell Kara get us a show”
Little Com, I make righteous bitches get low

(Kanye)
Hey, Do you have any black inside you/
Would you like some, like some?/
You know you got a right to/ do whatever you like to/ don c, we got the right one, the right one/ in the club, always the flyest/ always got her hands the highest/ she stopped drinking diet coke, she on that coke diet/ she bat she bat her eyelids/ that girl is so wired/ I know she so tired/ but oooh she on fire/ hundred dollar bill, look at you look at you/ a hundred dollar bills, this aint new this aint new/ from that paris, lindsey, britney, mary-kate, and whitney/ people say that they clean, motherf–ker don’t bulls–t me/

(Chorus)
All the girls standing in line for the bathroom (2x)
All the girls standing in the, all the girls standing in the
All the girls standing in the line for the bathroom

(Pharrel)
You left yo n—a home, you said you at your sisters/
You and your girlfriends wrong, you in here taking pictures/
You aint gotta tell us you spending daddy’s cash/
Your girlfriends jealous, you got the fattest ass/
One down to p, one trying to leave/
It’s hot as f–k but you dying just to ski/
It’s clear as black and white, like a fat panda/
Your brain is magic city, your nose is atlanta/
I said think about your future, you can’t do that tomorrow/
But you don’t hear a word, you see that SLR/ you like,”hey, pharrel, I aint trying to kill your mood/ but I can do the star trak sign, see, killer dude.”/
