Switched up the number, I can’t be bothered
I cannot blame you for havin’ an angle
I ain’t got no issues, I’m just doin’ my thing
Hope you’re doin’ your thing too
I’m a deadbeat cousin, I hate family reunions

I forgot all about this remix.

[Jay-Z – Intro]
Is this thing on?
Oh, I thought they silenced us, ‘Ye
Power to the people

We’re living in that 31st century, futuristic fly s–t
The penthouse is the projects and everybody flies private
New watches (you know what time it is)
Watch us (you see us)
They can’t stop us
The prophets
Be-otches!

[Chorus: Kanye West]
No one man should have all that power (Yea!)
The clock’s tickin, I just count the hours (Yea!)
Stop trippin, I’m trippin off the power
(“No one man should have all that power!” – [King Crimson])
