[Intro: Rihanna + Kanye West]
Man I can understand how it might be
Kinda hard to love a girl like me
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
I just wanted you to know
Swizz told me let the beat rock
[Verse 1: Kanye West + Swizz Beatz]
For all my Southside n***** that know me best
I feel like me and Taylor might still have s**
Why? I made that b**** famous
God d***
I made that b**** famous
For all the girls that got d*** from Kanye West
If you see 'em in the streets give 'em Kanye's best
Why? They mad they ain't famous
God d***
They mad they're still nameless
(Talk that talk man)
Her man in the store tryna try his best
But he just can't seem to get Kanye fresh
But we still hood famous
God d***
Yeah we still hood famous
[Hook: Rihanna + Swizz Beatz]
I just wanted you to know
I loved you better than your own kin did
From the very start
I don't blame you much for wanting to be free
Wake up, Mr West
I just wanted you to know
[Verse 2: Kanye West + Swizz Beatz]
I be Puerto Rican day parade floatin'
That Benz Marina Del Rey coastin'
She be Puerto Rican day parade wavin'
Last month I helped her with the car payment
Young and we alive, whoo!
We never gonna die, whoo!
I just copped a jet to fly over personal debt
Put one up in the sky
The sun is in my eyes, whoo!
Woke up and felt the vibe, whoo!
No matter how hard they try, whoo!
We never gonna die
[Hook: Rihanna]
I just wanted you to know
[Bridge: Sister Nancy + Swizz Beatz]
