They Say （们说）-Common
Written by ：Lonnie Lynn /Kanye West /John Stephens /Thomas Bell /Linda Epstein
They say what's happenin'
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they don't know
They say they say
They don't 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
I'm 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 ain't necessarily the ni**a wit dough
They say you ripped wow yea that's what they say
My niggaz couldn't 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 it's homework and hood crimes
I stood mine for forever and a day so goodbye
They never could say tell 'em J
They say what's happenin'
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they don't know
They say they say
They don't 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 I've got a history
Groupie love now gotta be them wheels
Haters back down gotta be that steel
I know they can't wait till ya outta ya deal
Look how they did D'angelo 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 don't ever give me nothing I can't handle
So please don't ever give me records I can't sample
So I could vacate where it ain't no channels
But it's quite OK for a gangsta to wear sandals
They say because of the fame and stardom
I'm somewhere in between the church and insane asylum
I guess it's messing with my health then
And this verse so crazy when I finish
I'm just gone check myself in
They say what's happenin'
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they don't know
They say they say
They don't 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 I'm scared of a day job
They say Sef kept the hood together
I tell the young we can't 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 Christ's
The way I sacrificed and resurrected twice
They say the crochet pants and the sweater was wack
Seen the corner now they say that ni**a's back uh
They say what's happenin'
We say the facts and they lie
We coming back for them
They might say but they don't know
They say they say
They don't know
