가사: Kanye West. Late Orchestration: Live at Abbey Road Studios. Bring Me Down.

I always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
Way down, way down, oh oh
One day they'd try to bring me down

Always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
Way down
They'd try to bring me down

We gon' last today, we have to pray
Besides what the pastor say, I have to say
Since Pac passed away
Most you rappers don't even deserve a track from me

You see, if you ever wanted to ever be anything
There'd always be somebody that'll shoot down any dream
There'll always be haters, that's the way it is
Hater niggaz marry hater bitches and have hater kids

But they gon' have to take my life 'fore they take my drive
'Cause when I was barely livin', that's what kept me alive
Just the thought that maybe it could be better
Than what we are at this time
Make it out of this grind, 'fore I'm out of my mind

And get some lee way on the he say she say
You girl don't like me, how long has she been gay
Spanish girls say, "You no able ingle"
And everybody want to run to me for their single

It's funny how these wack niggaz need my help
Wasn't around when I couldn't feed myself
Dog, if I was you I wouldn't feel myself
Dog, if I was you I'd kill myself

Made a mill myself and I'm still myself
And I'ma look in the mirror if I need some help
And I speak from the heart, y'all all frontin'
Everybody feel that way about K but at least y'all feel somethin'

Would you come near?
I might only [Incomprehensible]
What kind of dream we've found
See I'm often at your crossways forgetting where the hell I met ya
Then try to bring me down

I always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
Way down, way down, oh oh

Always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
Way down

Always knew that one day
They'd try to bring me down
Way down
They'd try to bring me down
No no, no no, no no, no no no
