Gifted (feat. Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li) Lyrics

Verse (Kanye West)

Hey eh
I'm known for running my mouth
I will not be accountable for what comes out uh
I don't know I might of said it
I was kinda gone and light-headed
My jacket kinda fresh, bright red-ed
And as usual my pants tight threaded
It seem like everybody dress tight now
And I just want my credit
Don't get it twisted or dreaded
I am the king and will not be-headed
To the mall no time soon brethren
Being broke made my head hurt
So I need the bread or an Excedrin
That'll only get my engine revvin'
While y'all on ten, I'm on eleven
I'mma make the news, be on at seven
Matter fact, I'm on this very second
I'm in first and y'all in second
And this verse only add to the freshness
Call to the club, tell 'em add to the guest list
What you think? Way more bitches
Y'all mutha fuckas know who this is
I'm gifted, Merry Christmas...
Merry Christmas

Chorus (Lykke Li and Santogold)

I'm armed with pens
And I got my rhymes
Whatever comes, I'll write it down
So knock me out
And shoot me down
With mics in hand
We'll stand against the test of time

Verse (Santogold)

You don't know my mind
Like I said a thousand times
I try to stay ahead
Know what I'm fighting for
I leave you to your talk
Never seen my kind before
And you're all so thick headed
Follow and I know I led it
Part of me won't me quit
Won't let me just not say shit
So much there to be bored with
Can't be still, I can't afford it
Try to hold it in but it makes me sick
So I spit it out, say the hell with it
I dream it and I build it tall
Make a way for when it falls

Chorus (Lykke Li and Santogold)

I'm armed with pens
And I got my rhymes
Whatever comes, I'll write it down
So knock me out
And shoot me down
With mics in hand
We'll stand against the test of time

Break

I'm armed with pens
And I got my rhymes
Whatever comes, I'll write it down
So knock me out
And shoot me down
With mics in hand
We'll stand against the test of time

N.A.S.A. may refer to at least 2 bands\people:

1) North America South America, an international collective of musicians spanning a wide spectrum of musical genres, centered around Squeak E. Clean (Sam Spiegel) and DJ Zegon (Ze Gonzales). Sam and Ze met in April of 2003 at a friend's studio and began making music together the following day.

At first they sampled rare Brazilian records from the 60's and 70's to make tracks. However, what started as two crate diggers making music for the fun of it soon developed into something much bigger. Having forged a strong friendship through their passion for music, Sam and Ze decided to make a record with all of their heroes and favorite musicians.

The idea was to bring people from different worlds together through their shared inspiration and love of music. Thus N.A.S.A. was born, with crazy collaborations like Ol' Dirty Bastard (Wu-Tang Clan), Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs), and Fatlip (Pharcyde) on one track, David Byrne (Talking Heads), Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), and Gift of Gab (Blackalicious) on another, and even the unlikely pairing of Tom Waits and Kool Keith.

Soon Sam and Ze realized they could expand the concept to encompass an entire record. The idea is to ignore all of the boundaries and borders that are in place to keep people divided, such as musical genre, race, politics, geography, language, etc. As a result, they gathered the craziest and most eclectic collection of musicians ever assembled on one album in the hope that they can show, through music, that all those superficial divisions are an illusion.

N.A.S.A. proves we are all one race of human beings interested in collaboration and unity, ignoring preconceptions, and transcending genre definitions.

2) N.A.S.A. (Noize Addicted Sound Architecht) is Mikkel Rasmussen, living in Copenhagen, Denmark. He has been a part of the Danish psychedelic scene for over 10 years and has been big a supporter of the progressive psytrance scene as well for several years now. Also known as: N-A-S-A, Nasa
