Kanye West - Murder To Excellence Lyrics
[Jay-Z]Bloody Murder, murder murder[Kanye]The paper read "murderBlack-on-black murder"[Jay-Z]This is to the memory of Danroy HenryToo much enemy fire to catch a friendlyStrays from the same shadeNigga, we on the same teamGiving you respect, I expect the same thingAll-black everything, nigga you know my fresh codeI'm out here fighting for youDon't increase my stressload! Niggas watching the throne, very happy to bePower to the people, when you see me, see you[Kanye West]And I'm from the murder capitolWhere they murder for capitalHeard about at least 3 killings this afternoonLooking at the news like "damn! I was just with him after school"No shop class but half the school got a toolAnd "I could die any day"-type attitudePlus his little brother got shot repping his avenueIt's time for us to stop and redefine black power41 souls murdered in fifty hoursThe paper read "murderBlack-on-black murder"The paper read "murderBlack-on-black murder" againIs it genocide? Cause I can still hear his mama cryKnow the family traumatizedShots left holes in his face about pirranha-sizedThe old pastor closed the cold casketAnd said the church ain't got enough room for all the tombsIt's a war going on outside we ain't safe fromI feel the pain in my city wherever I go314 soldiers died in Iraq, 509 died in Chicago[Jay-Z]I arrived on the day Fred Hampton diedReal niggas just multiplyAnd they say by 21 I was supposed to dieSo I'm out here celebrating my post-demiseIf you put crabs in a barrel to insure your survivalYou're gonna end up pulling down niggas that look just like youWhat up blood? What up Cuz? It's all black, I love us[Kanye West]The paper read "murderBlack-on-black murder" again[Jay-Z]It's a celebration of black excellenceBlack tie, black MaybachsBlack excellence, opulence, decadenceTuxes next to the president, I'm presentI dress in Dries and other boutique stores in ParisIn sheepskin coats, I silence the lambsDo you know who I am, Clarice?No cheap cologne whenever I "shh-shh"Success never smelled so sweetI stink of success, the new black eliteThey say my Black Card bears the mark of the beastI repeat: my religion is the beatMy verse is like church, my Jesus pieceNow please, domino, dominoOnly spot a few blacks the higher I goWhat's up to Will? Shout out to OThat ain't enough we gonna need a million more"Kick in the door" Biggie flowI'm all dressed up with nowhere to go[Kanye West]Yeah it's all messed up when it's nowhere to goSo we won't take the time out til we reach the T O PFrom paroles to hold G's, sold keys, low keysWe like the promised land of the OG'sIn the past if you picture events like a black tieWhat the last thing you expect to see, black guys?What's the life expectancy for black guys?The system's working effectively, that's why! I'll be a real man and take care of your sonEvery problem you had before this day is now doneNew crib, watch a movie cause ain't nothin on the newsBut the blues... hit the mall, pick up some GucciNow ain't nothing new but your shoesSunday morning, praise the LordYou're the girl that Jesus had been saving me forSo let's savor this momentAnd take it to the floorBlack excellence, truly yours
