If you cower in the face of a challenge travel your path
I ain't tryna rap for a car, or rap for a yard, or rap for a…
…this track at my funeral fam
It's the beauty of rap you can kill me and even when I'm dead
I will live through the music I made
I'm such a musical man…
…truthful, well blud
No I don't know why I did that
I wrote the hook like you was in for a chick track
But this ain't about no bird
And I…

…it is, because when I did the song, I actually did not know that it would get to the point that grandmothers are talking about it, you know? Like…
…it happens
PW: [laughs] yeah, you know I don't know anything about basketball, but it was an amazing set-up. That was crazy, just to see the reaction to what a visual and music…
…let me ask you, how much has this experience contributed to who you became as a person?
KW: Yeah, you know, I had…

On album Sixteen 16's

…the bro's teep
That's a front kick
For you dumb shits
That don't know we throw flows and punches
Where you livin at, munchkin?
You…
…lies ain't necessary?
And Uncle Akala will punish you for lying
Kid Leviathan, I have been
You're sweet as a hyacinth
Knowledge…
…to believe you
And act on the words you say
And make the owner way
How can such noble thoughts come from a wicked source
Of course
It gives me…

…you give it to him? Was it just an instrumental?
Yeah, we were making the drum loop and...oh, man, I had smoked I don't know how…
…he was like, “I need to have this, man.... I know I've already taken ‘Shot for Me' and ‘Crew Love' and this and that.” And me, I was hungry at that…
…was “The Ride” supposed to be?
There are two ways of making music for me. There's a calculated route—like, I know exactly what I'm going to do with this song. And…

…[Intro]
And to immediately start our show
I want to bring out the host of tonight's show
You all know him
A very wonderful…
…but I'ma switch the style up
We moving at high speed, these f*ckers are dialed up
You know I formulate my words like a dissertation
So let a…
Angeles, California, man! Know what I just love about your music is that it's just a variety of everything and that's what…

[Travis Scott]
Nah not at all cause I think, you know
Cudi should be like a top tier artist up there man alongside…
…so important that you say that because
Not a lot of people come out and say yo I'm a true fan and I love
[Rosenberg]
Who are you…
…of? The one they hear it on the radio
They're like man thats a great record, I'm glad I did that
[Travis]
You know what, the most I'm proud of is uhh
The one thats not…

…I just wonder about your feelings on that and if you can tell us what that means?
Drake:
Well, as far as the latter end…
…the athletes are wearing through the show because that can make for a joke in itself. I might just cut to somebody and I won't have to say anything.
Shell:
You…
…he lost because he listened to my music. I want to meet that guy and just look him in the eye and see exactly who he is as a man and…

…new crowd
That's new now, ciao, seems that life is great now
See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud
And I can't, no, I won't hush…
…don't need you
You need me, man, I don't need you, (at all)
You need me
[Verse 3]
All I want in this cold world is to make music and use it
Not to abuse it and…
…thousand fleets
Walk on any beat and stomp it like a thousand feet
Talk is cheap, so I could treat you to my words for free
Now that…

…I made pop when I had to
I'll still pen up and pop if I have to
Look if music flopped too bait for a job boy
I'll buy a box if I…
…music up
For less than that
Got these old niggas looking
Stressed and back
We run tings like the mandem's got it
I see you niggas…
…on my level I can
Levitate dawg
I will kill a MC speed one take dawg
Cereal with it make a man break-fast
Man get along with a…

…the writer's block
and find the poet's tree,
johnny rockwell you know it's me,
my past is a matter of when and if, not a…
…fair guess
i work with words for a living, they don't pay very well,
but i can wear what i want and listen to music…
…know and go broke
should i keep my thoughts to myself or
should i call them as i see them
a man without politics
every day…

…stressin
That I might not make it as a father
Or repay my mother
But I can't just sit being bothered
So I plunge further
Punch harder…
North Pole
I'm at my peak and I'm cold
Can't wait for the day that I can say that I sold music that I mold…
…stressin
That I might not make it as a father
Or repay my mother
But I can't just sit being bothered
So I plunge further
Punch harder…

I'll let your lyrics live
So long as you kneel
Stop your yapping little puppy
Come!
Heel!
It's like you think that them bad words make…
…than you!
You say you got a noose around your head?
Fantastic! The noose is me, and now your music is dead!
You can answer…
…be over tea!
You gonna break me down?
Boy the worst you can do to me is make me frown!
Not even that when I turn into a rapping Bane and…

…it! ..."
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I…
…most unusual
To come before you so
But I've found an ancient miracle
I thought that you should know
Listen to my music
And…
…hear what it can do
There's something here as strong as life
I know that it will reach you
Yes, we know it's nothing new
It's just a…
