I'm A New Man (Pinocchio Story part 2) [live freestyle]

Well the song says no one man should have all that power right? There’s definitively been times I let Let power, get the best of me… And let the world take the rest of me I look in the mirror and say “God, is this, is this my destiny? Is this what I’ve done After all the years of you blessin’ me?” Well maybe this is just a moment A moment of you all testin’ me To see if I can still act professionally To keep me at bay Like the Chesapeake Guess it’s me Just a ‘G From the C.I., Honest… And why? Why would you give me that Power? Knowing I was just an artist Knowing exactly where my heart is And I will only work the hardest And sometimes, put art, before being the smartest And sometimes act retarded Just look at what I started And they wanted me to be dearly departed Die, nigga die, and I had no reply And I still looked her in the eyes And said that I could touch the sky And after all the drama I wonder where I would be if I still Had my Momma, Common And everybody I was promising around me You know how niggas from Chi town be, sometimes we wild Act like a child Get fouled Stay in style As of now …? ... flows through the veins of a modern day Pharaoh. In American Apparel Standing down the barrel of the media For the man that face never made it in the encyclopedia His story, His glory …and they re-write history right in front of us - in front of us But what happens? When one of us is on the other side of that T.V. screen? You know what I’m sayin’. Real niggas you know what I mean - you know what I mean - you know what I mean - you know what I mean Or at least that’s what I thought But when they sayin’ “Hey that’s what the real nigga do, right?” Naw not right, that’s just mean, that’s just me that’s not, right Now how long did it take me to realize? And open up my ****ing eyes! That this **** is just a disguise All the fame! And the power! And the hour! In the showers! Of the diamonds! And the jewels! And the gold! Everybody say you cold! Everybody screaming at motha ****ing shows And you know what? You wake up in the morning And in awe you’re a real person And worse you got the …?... Got a little bit harder A little bit more insignificant You was the terrific **** Buying expensive **** Last year worked for Louis or Ford Too much for me to even record The only thing I had to do was get my heart out The greatest blessing in the world is the fact you let me get my art out The fact that you accepted me and didn’t neglect me Even when I was a …?... Even when I went to these meetings straight dolo I had to go solo. I used to have a group That group used to wear Adidas and …?... and then I got stupid and left them niggas And said I’m better than ya’ll when it was true Now when I finally got the power man what the **** did I do? And I’m so sorry to how every one of ya’ll had to fight for my name Every one of ya’ll a year ago, that all waited for this change Everyone who said “Kanye is that nigga quit talkin’ names” And I know! I am the one to blame And the people that I-I-I, let down I want to tell you right here - right here, right now That I’m a new man that understands why people abusing the power *Crowd erupts drowning out the lyrics* And make more music for the world to love! And there’s so many people I could thank there’s my Mom and God and above So all ya’ll, and everybody throw your hands in the sky! Everyone touch the sky before the day never dies! dies! dies! No one man should have all that power! They say no one man should have all that power! They say no one man should have all that power! They say no one man should have all that power!
