TIME Magazine - The 100 Most Influential People: Kanye West lyrics

Everytime I crash the internet, it's like this little drop of truth. Everytime I say something that's extremely truthful out loud it literally breaks the internet - so what are we getting all of the rest of the time? I don't care about having a legacy, I don't care about being remembered. The most important thing to me is like - while I'm here, while we're having fun, while we're going to sleep and breathing oxygen and living life and falling in love and having pain and having joy is like "What can i do? What can i do with my voice, what can we do each other to make life easier - to make life doper for our kids? You know, as they grow up." We were born into a broken world and we're like the cleanup crew My mother made me believe in me. When I was growing up I wanted to make video games. My mum got me this Omega computer when I was in 7th grade and it had 4096 colors. I found myself running home to use this sound program that allowed me to place a note; it would stay, place another note, it would stay, pace another note, it would stay, and that's how I learned to produce in 7th grade. And I was really just making the music to make video games. They just let me dream, they supported me, they pushed me. They didn't set me up to be inside of a box What's the main thing that makes magic, magic? The fact that no one believes it's possible When I entered the fashion world and I encountered a lot of eleistism and all that, it just me happy. It was something fun, we had the entire world against us. It was like absolutely no allies whatsoever, you know what I mean, it was like the world was against us. The pressure of that was like crazy, it was like a super bowl. I remember sitting there with my fashion publicist Deborah and we were supposed to do the "recess", this is the thing where the Editors after the show they come back to see it and see if they like the collection, and we had like two or three people that came to see it and take a picture with Kanye and all that type of stuff. I said "do we have any more Editors coming", and Deborah just looked and says "No, no one else is coming" and I looked at her and said "This is great! Remember this moment, cause it won't always be like this. Embrace this moment when no one came to see the collection." I take you know, things that people look at as a negative as an inspiration to do something better I think there's school teachers that are on the exact same mission as me. I think there's police officers with the exact same mission as me - just help. Just do everything you got, give everything you got and you know, our focus needs to be less about what I like to see, or how we're going to control each other, but more about how can we can give to each other
