Artist: Kanye West Album: Freshman Adjustment Song: Gossip Files Typed by: jj_phenomenon@hotmail.com [Intro] Niggaz is gossipin' across the city They don't know why Gin & 'em ain't comin' to get me So I hit the block and do about sixty And I put my glocks' to 'dem like blaow, blaow, blaow [Verse 1] I'm fin to get on this TV and put shit down I ain't fin to let these light skin niggaz come back in style I'm fin to turn this class clown shit to crazy-D They told my mamma I was bipolar; had ADD I told 'em wha - what I wanna do I wanna be a baller; the dream spoilers' will fault ya Haten' on you, till they mans' on the corners Old folks said he'd never make it off the corner They are the virus that corrupts your soul They are the cubic zirconia's inside the 10K gold That get green on ya, when you get green on 'em Ya gotta wash your hands up and get clean on 'em Somebody told me that success was the best revenge So they gonna be fuct up; when you do your thing on 'em And hold your plaques high like – who would have thought? And tell 'em, “hmm, hmm, hmm – thank you for your no support” [Hook] They are the dream killaz [*killa, killa*] They the dreams killaz [*killa, killa*] Who know a dream?

They are the misery, that love company Cause that comfortable, corporate job can't comfort me Told I 'em I finished school then started my own business They said, “oh you graduated?” – No, I decided I was finished Chasin' y'all dreams and what you got planned Now I spit it so hot, you got tanned And they hate on your relationship then break your marriage up Can't kill your dreams so they assassinate ya character Do anything to down-play ya or embarrass ya Come around with ya but they ain't down with ya [Hook] They are the dream killaz (1st) - they the.. *Killa Norman Bates* - O.D.B. sample (8th) [Verse 3] And I'm through spittin' these rappers; my-own, don't talk they flow They be like, “that's cool, you got some beats for me though?” Oh I get it – you wanna be Snoop & Dr. Dre – But don't nobody give a fuck, what'chu got to say Anyway – what'chu fin to rap about? You never sold crack out'cha house; or put a gat to a mouth or put your first to yo' spouse – so how you fin to move the crowd? “I'll bet a thousand that you get booed out!” I even heard that they even takin' wages in jail They bettin' 10 box of cigarettes' that I'm fin to fail Thinkin' he talkin' bout peace – they gone' be like peace? This nigga came from the Chi and moved to the East He gotta kill at least one person at least They will evict you from they rap game – cancel your lease How you go to New York – aint't-chu ever took a tour there? What'chu don't know you gotta be rich, just to be poor there? [Outro - repeats] Niggaz is gossipin across the city They don't know why Gin & 'em ain't comin' to get me So I hit the black and do about sixty And I put my glocks to them like blaow, blaow, blaow [*Killa Norman Bates* - O.D.B. sample]
