We Don't Care lyrics

[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 people 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 thought

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
