Click to see the original lyrics (Portuguese) Aah
Stop at the gas station to buy a Marlboro
Look at my face, son, fight back your tears
My ancestors used to bathe in gold
Take a good look at my skin, it glows, you fool
Stop at the gas station to buy a Marlborol
Look at my face, son, hold back your tears
My ancestors used to bathe in gold
Take a good look at my skin, it glows, you fool
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
I'm the most hated nigga you'll ever see
Aah
I won't stand my ground, I won't obey you
I'd rather die than be your black pet
Mister, I come to fight, I've never been one to run
Close your eyes, I saw the birth of God
I saw my birth, I saw your birth
So free that not even the police can arrest me
Your words will not offend me
Turn off the light and try to understand me
Feel Africa to understand me
When you get laid a lot, you will understand me
Do not fear death to understand me
As long as you have a limit, you won't understand me
Every black leader is killed, can you understand?
I get letters saying you're next
you're next, you're next
Now I understand you Kanye, now I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you Kanye, now I understand you Kanye
Being black is not just having black skin
This is something the jeweler understands
My culture is my fever
I am the explanation for those who don't feel
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Now I understand you, Kanye
I understand you Kanye
Jesus, I punched Jesus
When I saw him crying, screaming, and saying
that the wanted to be a white man, straighten his hair
and put a lens to look like
the image you created
Jesus, I punched Jesus
When I saw him crying, screaming, and saying
that the wanted to be a white man, straighten his hair
and put a lens to look like
the image you created
On stage like Michael Jackson
Rap game, we play like Michael Jordan
You call these guys geniuses,
but they only declare what it's obvious
Why do rappers pray for me to stop rapping?
Everything I hear sounds the same, I'm done with rap
I died as a rapper in En Tu Mira
I came back as Bluesman
And now I good, good, good
Why do these white people love to call the police?
Why do these black people look at me with such malice?
Why do we learn to hate others?
Your envy doesn't let me be the same as before
If success annoys you, I'm an annoying guy
Don't call me pretty nigger,
smart nigger,
polite nigger
Just call me important person
Your label doesn't touch my poetry
I'm Kanye West from Bahia
Your label doesn't touch my poetry
I'm Kanye West from Bahia
Your label doesn't touch my poetry
No, no, no, they will never do it
I'm Kanye West from Bahia
