And this is for the family that can't be with us
And this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in us
That's why I spit it in my songs so sweet

R.i.p old kanye
I wish the old Kanye could come back and make songs like this, roses, champion, Jesus walks, hey mama, and homecoming. Those are all great songs. Know them all by heart!
He was better back then, he says he found a new way to rhyme without using knives and guns, and listen now, just not the same feel from him now
Good s**t!!!
I don't know why I like this song so much...
Ummm its ok
