About an Angel (Got Nowhere) lyrics
by Common
[Hook: John Legend & Kanye West]
Last night I dreamt of an angel
I almost passed away, oh yesterday, but I'm blessed today
On top of the world, I’m so thankful
It ain't no mystery, it's meant for me to make history
[Verse: Kanye West]
n*ggas thought I couldn't rhyme, but I tricked 'em
My pulse quickened, I –
Bought myself outta last place, I Michael Vick'd 'em
n*ggas thought I let 'em down like Tyson
I got the belt like Lewis
I took these beats, I passed 'em to myself, I'm Kordell Stewart
Back on the corner, Back On The Block
The Quincy Jones of Hip-Hop, it's my Time like Warner
Since I shine like Shyne in '99 with hits
A lot of people talkin' real outta line with this
There's a war going on, a few b*tches wanna slaughter me
So in the New World, I'ma Order even more of me
So I can live forever like diamonds
Throw your diamonds up, 'cause almost dying ain't stop me from rhyming
I hate a deadbeat n*gga that rely on his man
See, he'll lie on his di*k, but won't lie on the stand
And go to every single barbershop and lie to the fans
So it's time for Kanye to put The Chi on again
I'm the 2003 Do Or D-I-E
They trying to say the best n*gga is Twista, then me
That's all R.O.C., that's all family tree
I got that new G5, he got that new Hum-Vee
Incorporate Young Hov and that's The Blueprint 3
And The Blueprint 2 is 3 mill' right now
So cut all that "I don't like 'Bonnie & Clyde'" sh*t out!
Listen
[Bridge: John Legend & Kanye West + The Miracles sample]
Oooh hooo
I got nowhere to
Oooh hooo
I got nowhere to
Oooh hooo
I got nowhere to
(You got nowhere to go)
[Bridge: Kanye West]
Dawg, there's nowhere to hide
All I got is my pride
I almost died
I keep that 2Pac feeling alive
You have no idea how I'm feeling inside
It's the Roc! Throw your diamonds up in the sky
[Hook: John Legend & Kanye West]
Last night I dreamt of an angel (Ohh, an angel!)
I almost passed away, oh yesterday, but I'm blessed today
On top of the world, I’m so thankful (So thankful!)
It ain't no mystery, it's meant for me to make history
