Kanye West - Can't Tell Me Nothing Lyrics

Complimentary "Can't Tell Me Nothing" Ringtone

La La La La 
Wait 'til I get my money right 

I had a dream I could buy my way to heaven 
When I awoke, I spent that on a necklace 
I told God I'd be back in a second 
Man, it's so hard not to act reckless 
To whom much is given, much is tested 
Get the rest and guess until he get the message 
I feel the pressure under more scrutiny 
And what I do; act more stupidly 
Bought more jewelry, more Louis V 
My momma couldn't get through to me 
The drama, people suing me 
I'm on TV talkin' like it's just you and me 
I'm just sayin' how I feel, man 
I ain't one of the Cosbys i ain't go to Hillman 
I guess the money should've changed him 
I guess I should've forgot where I came from 

La La La La 
Wait 'til I get my money right 
La La La La 
Then you can't tell me nothing, right? 
Excuse me, is you sayin' somethin'? 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 
You can't tell me nothin' 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 

Let up the suicide doors 
This is my life, homie, you decide yours 
I know that Jesus died for us 
But I couldn't tell you who decide wars 
So I parallel double-parked that mother fucker sideways 
Old folks talkin' 'bout "back in my day" 
But homie this is my day 
Class started two hours ago, "Oh, am I late?" 
No, I already graduated 
and you can live through anything if Magic made it 
They say I talk with so much emphasis 
Ooh, they so sensitive 
Don't ever fix your lips like collagen
To say somethin' where you gon' end up apolo-g-in' 
Let me know if it's a problem then 
Aiite man, holla then 

La La La La 
Wait 'til I get my money right 
La La La La 
Then you can't tell me nothing, right? 
Excuse me, is you sayin' somethin'? 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 
You can't tell me nothin' 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 

Let the champange splash 
Let that man get cash 
Let that man get pass 
He don't need to stop to get gas 
If he could move through the rumors, he could drive off a fumes 
Cause how he move in a room full of no's 
How he stay faithful in a room full of ho's 
Must be the Pharoah's, he in tune with his soul 
So when he buried in a tomb full of gold 
Treasure, what's your pleasure? 
Life is a, uh, depending how you dress her 
So if the devil wear Prada 
Adam and Eve wear nada 
I'm in between but way more fresher 
With way less effort 
Cause when you try hard is when you die hard 
Your homies lookin' like "Why God?" 
When they reminisce over you, my God 

La La La La 
Wait 'til I get my money right 
La La La La 
Then you can't tell me nothing, right? 
Excuse me, is you sayin' somethin'? 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 
You can't tell me nothin' 
Ah uh, you can't tell me nothin' 

La La La La 
Wait 'til I get my money right 
La La La La 
Then you can't tell me nothing, right? 

{ooooo good money made}(3x)
