[Intro: Choir]
Gettin' mine, kn-know
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
All of the lights
All of the lights, all of the lights
Every light you ever seen in your life, baby
You know what it is
All of the lights

[Chorus: Kanye West, John Legend, Tony Williams]
Before they kill me
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me
Before they kill me

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Somethin' wrong, I hold my head
MJ gone, our nigga dead
I slapped my girl, shе called the feds
I did that timе and spent that bread
I'm heading home, I'm almost there
I'm on my way, heading up the stairs
To my surprise, a nigga replacing me
I had to take him to that ghetto university

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
(All of the lights), lights
Cop lights, flashlights, spotlights
Strobe lights, street lights (All of the lights, all of the lights)
Fast life, drug life, thug life
Rock life, stripper life (All of the lights)

[Chorus: Kanye West, John Legend, Tony Williams]
Before they kill me
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me
Before they kill me

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Restraining order, can't see my daughter
Her mother, brother, grandmother hate me in that order
Public visitation, we met at Borders
Told her she take me back, I'll be more supportive
I made mistakes, I bumped my head
Them courts sucked me dry, I spent that bread
She need her daddy, baby, please
Can't let her grow up in that ghetto university

[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
(All of the lights), the lights
Cop lights, flashlights, spotlights
Strobe lights, street lights (All of the lights, all of the lights)
Fast life, drug life, thug life
Rock life, stripper life (All of the lights)

[Chorus: Kanye West, John Legend, Tony Williams]
Before they kill me
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me (Before I go)
I'ma take a few with me
Before they kill me

[Outro: Kanye West]
Before they kill me
