Nas - Everything Lyrics

(feat. Kanye West & The-Dream)

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]
Your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
Your love and your heart
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
Dark boy, don't you cry, there's too much life left in those eyes
Don't you let that face go waterfall
Until they learn to love you, scars and all
Dark boy, don't you die
They're just human, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
Let them come to you
For your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything, I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 1: Nas]
When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black
Beloved brother, you fail to embarrass him, harassing him
To my life, your life pales in comparison
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the goal
Do what's necessary, I'm never wary
Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
That's why we competitin', death by the chrome barrel
Forgot the secrets, my killer be Gerald
Bone marrow's the deepest
You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that
We want freedom, I'm a scholar and almanac
People do anything to be involved in everything
Inclusion is a hell of a drug
Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life and never have enough

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 2: Nas]
From the birth of a child, the world is foul
Excursions of a certain child, should learn not to take nothing personal
A parent hates to watch his baby's face
Taking his first immunization shots
But this is great, the child's introduction to suffering and pain
Understands without words, nothing is explained, or rushed to the brain
Looking up at his parents' face like
"I thought you would protect me from this scary place? Why'd you let them inject me? Who's gonna know how these side effects is gonna affect me?"
Who knew that I'd grow to meet presidents that respect me?
If Starbucks is bought by Nestlé, please don't arrest me
I need to use your restroom, and I ain't buy no espresso
Soon enough, assume the cuffs
The position not new to us
Since back on the bus sitting, said "Screw the bus"
Boycotted that bus outta business, the future's us
Yeah, there be citizens in prison

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Verse 3: Nas]
Watch me as I walk through the folly, golly, New York to Saudi
In Italy, I'm Eduardo Wiccari
But Nasty the hustler, nasty like mustard gas, sulfur
And I could sell Alaska to Russia, no pressure
My first house, 11,000 square feet mansion
It was a haunted by dead bitch whites
Mad a nigga bought his crib, to hang up pictures of black Christ
Circular driveways, black cars and black ice
My second house, still in my twenties, illin' with money
Chilled through my spine, spillin' wine
It's funny, did good for a staircase loiterer
Euphoria, what you saw when you seen a teen turn to a warrior
Did every Fourth of July, bustin' in the sky, it was important to a guy who was mob-minded
Future Murcielago driver, till Lambos got average on me
I started liking the look, like I ain't had no money
Yellow taxi seats over Maybach seats
Just to remind me, just to inspire me
To stay focused, it's a real sick society
Just 'cause I got your support don't mean you're buying me
I'm buying back the land owned by the slave masters where my ancestors lived
Just to say a rapper made a change
The pants-sagga put plans in action
Til they claim the Pan-African made it happen

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West and The-Dream]
Your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
Your love and your heart
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else

[Chorus: Kanye West]
If I had everything, everything
I could change anything
If I changed anything, I mean anything
I would change everything, oh yeah

[Post-Chorus: The-Dream & Kanye West]
Dark boy, don't you cry, there's too much life left in those eyes
Don't you let that face go waterfall
Until they learn to love you, scars and all
Dark boy, don't you die
They're just human, let them lie
You just know your world and speak your truth
And let them come to you
For your love and your heart
See 'cause you've never been the same as anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
This is your call, there are no wrongs
See you'll never conclude with anyone else
Don't think the same as everyone else
