They Say （們說）-Common
Written by ：Lonnie Lynn /Kanye West /John Stephens /Thomas Bell /Linda Epstein
They say whats happenin
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they dont know
They say they say
They dont know
They say a ni**a lost his mind
But in the scheme of things I never lost a rhyme
The thin line between love and hatred
Im 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 telling Derick tell Kara get us a show
Little com I make righteous b**ches get low
The richest man aint necessarily the ni**a wit dough
They say you ripped wow yea thats what they say
My niggaz couldnt tell it was me like Jamie in Ray
Painting a day wit focused crime broads and good wine
They say d**e is sour so its homework and hood crimes
I stood mine for forever and a day so goodbye
They never could say tell em J
They say whats happenin
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they dont know
They say they say
They dont know
Ahh the sweet taste of victory
Go head and breath it in like antihistamine
I know they saying damn yay snapped wit this beat
F**k you expect Ive got a history
Groupie love now gotta be them wheels
Haters back down gotta be that steel
I know they cant wait till ya outta ya deal
Lookhow they did Dangelo ask em how do it feel
My best friends worry bout me
Cause they know when you famous
You had made cash the media aims at us
And you be up so high
If you ever fall off it feel like a plane crash
But God dont ever give me nothing I cant handle
So please dont ever give me records I cant sample
So I could vacate where it aint no channels
But its quite OK for a gangsta to wear sandals
They say because of the fame and stardom
Im somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
I guess its messing with my health then
And this verse so crazy when I finish
Im just gone check myself in
They say whats happenin
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they dont know
They say they say
They dont know
They say Dude think he righteous
I write just to free minds from Stoney to Rikers
Amongst the lifeless in a world crazy as Mike is
On my paper whether its w**d or Isis
They say life is a game so I play hard
Writing for my life cause Im scared of a day job
They say Sef kept the hood together
I tell the young we cant play the hood forever
Play my cards right they say I went to left
They showed me strange love like I was Mr F
Played chess in this game of pawns and knights
Now I claim king like Don or Frank White
They say my life is comparable to Christs
The way I sacrificed and resurrected twice
They say the crochet pants and the sweaterwas wack
Seen the corner now they say that ni**as back uh
They say whats happenin
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they dont know
They say they say
They dont know
