I told you everything, didn't I? But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no My back ain't against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall) [Chorus: Kanye West] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light (Right on) One last sparkle to follow
