Song byKanye West

in AlbumGraduation

N- n- now th- that don't kill me

Can only make me stronger

I need you to hurry up now

cause I can't wait much longer

I know I got to be right now

Cause I can't get much wronger

Man I've been waitin' all night now

That's how long I've been on ya

I need you right now

Let's get lost tonight

You could be my black Kate Moss tonight

Play secretary, I'm the boss tonight

And you don't give a fuck what they all say right?

Awesome, the christian and and Christian Dior

Damn, they don't make 'em like this anymore

I ask, cause I'm not sure

Do anybody make real shit anymore?

Bow in the presence of greatness

Cause right now thou has forsaken us

You should be honored by my lateness

That I would even show up to this fake shit

So go ahead go nuts go ape shit

Especially on my best stand on my bape shit

Act like you can't tell who made this

New gospel homey, take six, and take this, haters

N- n- now th- that don't kill me

Can only make me stronger

I need you to hurry up now

Cause I can't wait much longer

I know I got to be right now

Cause I can't get much wronger

Man I've been waitin' all night now

That's how long I've been on ya

I need you right now

Me likey

I don't know if you got a man or not,

If you made plans or not

God put me in the plans or not

I'm trippin' this drink got me sayin' a lot

But I know that God put you in front of me

So how the hell could you front on me?

There's a thousand you's, there's only one of me

I'm trippin', I'm caught up in the moment right?

This is Louis Vuitton dime night

So we gon' do everything that Kan like

Heard they'd do anything for a klondike

Well I'd do anything for a blonde-dike

And she'll do anything for the limelight

And we'll do anything when the time's right

Ugh, baby, you're makin' it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

N- n- now th- that don't kill me

Can only make me stronger

I need you to hurry up now

Cause I can't wait much longer

I know I got to be right now

Cause I can't get much wronger

Man I've been waitin' all night now

That's how long I've been on ya

I need you right now

You know how long I've been on ya?

Since Prince was on Apollonia

Since OJ had Isotoners

Don't act like I never told ya [x6]

Baby, you're making it (harder, better, faster, stronger)

N- n- now th- that don't kill me

Can only make me stronger

I need you to hurry up now

Cause I can't wait much longer

I know I got to be right now

Cause I cant get much wronger

Man I've been waitin' all night now

That's how long I've been on ya

I need you right now [x4]

You know how long I've been on ya?

Since Prince was on Apollonia

Since OJ had Isotoners

Don't act like I never told ya

Never told ya [x4]

Never over [x8]
