Bring Me Down

Song byKanye West

in AlbumLate Registration

[Chorus: Brandy]

I always knew that one day

They'd try to bring me down

WOoow, one day, they tried to bring me down

ALways knew that one day, they'd try to bring me down

Dooown, way down

[Kanye]

We gon' to mass today, we have to pray

Besides what the pastor say, I have to say

Since Pac passed away

Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me

You see, if you evern wanted to ever be anything

There'd always be somebody that shoot down any dream

There'll always be haters, that's the way it is

Hater niggaz marry hater bitches and have hater kids

But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive

'Cause when I was barely livin, that's what kept me alive

Just the thought that maybe it could be better than what we at at this time

Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind

And get some lee way on the he say she say

You girl don't like me, how long has she been gay

Spanish girls say "No able ingle"

And everybody want to run to me for their SINGLE

It's funny how these wack niggaz need my help

Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself

Dog, If I was you, I wouldn't feel myself

Dog, If I was you, I'd kill myself

Made a mill myself, and I'm still myself

And I'ma look in the mirror if I need some help

Ask me from the heart, y'all all frontin

Everybody feel a way about K but at least y'all feel somethin

[Brandy]

Why you come here, I bet it only it was forget to get ya

What kind of dream we found, see I'm often at your cross way

forgetting it was that heaven let ya. They tried to bring me down

[Chorus - 5X]
