[Chorus]
  [Kanye West]
  And all my people thats drug dealin jus to get by stack ya money till it gets sky high
  We wasnt supposed to make it past 25 but the jokes on you we still alive
  Throw your hands up in the sky and say we don't care what people say
  
  [Verse One]
  If this is your first time hearing this
  You are about to experience something cold man
  We never had nothing handed took nothing for granted
  Took nothing from no man, man i'm my own man
  But as a shorty i looked up to the dopeman
  Only adult man i knew that wasnt a broke man
  Flickin starter coats man, Man you ount no man
  We don't care what people say
  This is for my niggas outside all winter
  Cuz this summer they aint finna to say next summer im finna
  Sittin in the hood like community colleges
  This dope money here is Lil Treys scholarship
  Cause aint no to tuition for havin no ambition
  And aint no loans for sittin your ass at home
  So we forced to sell crack rap and get a job
  You gotta do something man your ass is grown
  
  [Chorus]
  [Kanye West:]
  Drug dealin jus to get by stack ya money till it gets sky high
  
  Kids Sing Kids Sing
  
  [Kanye and Kids]
  We wasnt supposed to make it past 25 but the jokes on you we still alive
  Throw your hands up in the sky and say we don't care what people say
  
  [Verse Two]
  The second verse is for my dogs working 9 to 5
  That still hustle cause a nigga can't shine off $6.55
  And everybody selling make-up, Jacobs
  And bootleg tapes just to get they cake up
  We put shit on layaway then come back
  We claim other kids on our income tax
  We take that money cop work than push packs to get paid
  And we don't care what people say
  Momma say she wanna move south
  Scratchin lottery tickets Eyes on a new house
  Around the same time Doe ran up in dudes house
  Couldnt get a job
  So since he couldnt get work he figured hed take work
  The drug game bolemic its hard to get weight
  So niggas money is homo its hard to get straight
  So we gon keep baking to the day we get cake.
  And we dont care what people say
  My Niggas
  
  [Chorus]
  [Kanye West and Kids]
  Drug dealin jus to get by stack ya money till it gets sky high
  
  Kids Sing Kids Sing
  
  We wasnt supposed to make it past 25 but the jokes on you we still alive
  Throw your hands up in the sky and say we don't care what people say
  
  [Verse Three]
  You know the kids gonna act a fool
  When you stop the programs for after school
  And they DCFS them some of them dislecsic
  They favorite 50 Cent song's 12 Questions
  We scream, rock, blows, weed park
  so now we smart
  We aint retards the way teachers taught
  Hold up hold fast we make mo'cash
  Now tell my momma i belong in the slow class
  It's bad enough we on welfare
  You trying to put me on the school bus with the space for the wheel chair
  Im trying to get the car with the chromy wheels here
  You tryin to cut our lights like we dont live here
  Look at whats handed us our fatheres abandoned us
  When we get the hammers gone and call the ambulance
  Sometimes i feel no one in this world understands us
  But we dont care what people say
  My Niggas
  
  [Chorus]
  [Kanye West and Kids]
  drug dealin jus to get by stack ya money till it gets sky high
  
  Kids Sing Kids Sing
  
  We wasnt supposed to make it past 25 but the jokes on you we still alive
  Throw your hands up in the sky and say we don't care what people say
