  • No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us

    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us

    No one on the corner
    Mr. West is in the building
    Swagger on a hundred thousand, trillion (no one on the corner)
    Ayo, I know I got it first
    I'm Christopher Columbus, y'all just the pilgrims
    Thanksgiving, do we even gotta question
    Hermès, Pastelle, I pass the dressing
    My attitude is tattooed
    That mean it's permanent, so I guess we should address it, huh?
    My swagger is Mick Jagger
    Every time I breathe on the track, I asthma attack it
    Why he so mad for? Why he gotta have it?
    'Cause I slaved my whole life, now I'm the master
    Na-na-na, how it feel to wake up and be the shit and the urine?
    Na-na-na, tryin' to get that Kobe number, one over Jordan

    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us

    (No one on the corner) got a bop like this
    Can't wear skinny jeans 'cause my knots don't fit
    No one on the corner got a pocket like this
    So I rock Roc jeans 'cause my knots so thick
    You can learn how to dress just by jackin' my fresh
    Jackin', jackin' my fresh, jackin', jackin' my fresh
    Follow my steps is the road to success
    Where the niggas know you thorough and the girls say yes (yes)
    But I can't teach you my swag
    You can pay for school, but you can't buy class
    School of hard knocks, I'm a grad
    And that all-blue Yankee is my graduation cap, it's Hova
    Dip in different Rovers, whippin' with the soda, Hova
    Did you even have any doubt? After "Doubt," it was over

    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us

    No one on the corner has swagger like moi
    Church, but I'm too clean for the choir
    I require, what I desire
    I got stripes, Adidas
    Mami scream, "¡Papí, no más!"
    Run up in your shit, just me, no mask
    Runnin' this shit like I got four thighs
    No one has swagger like these four guys
    And when it comes to styles, I got several
    Sharper than a swagger dagger all metal
    And my jewels, blue and yellow
    The type of shit that make 'em call you Carmelo
    Rules as follows, stay true to the ghetto
    Write your name on the bullet, make you feel special
    Ha, what the fuck you boys talking about?
    I know its us 'cause we the only thing to talk about

    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (and I'm gone)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (bye)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (yeah, haha)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us (you think?)
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (that's right, ayy)

    You can go see Weezy for the wordplay, Jeezy for the bird-play
    Kanyeezy for diversity and me for controversy
    All my verses picture perfect, only spit to serve a purpose
    You ain't livin' what you kickin', then you worthless
    Lookin' from the surface, it may seem like I got reason to be nervous
    Then observe my work and see that my adversity was worth it
    Verses autobiographical, absolutely classical
    Last thing I'm worried 'bout is what another rapper do
    Ain't nobody hot as me, even if they rap they ass off
    Blast off and have outstanding quality
    Sell a lot of records, I respect it and salute that
    But spittin' real life on hot beats, I'm the truth at
    You kick it like me, no exaggeration necessary
    Living revolutionary, nothing less than legendary
    Gangsta shit hereditary, got it from my dad
    Flow colder than February with extraordinary swag

    No one on the corner have swagger like us (okay)
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (yeah, that's right)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us (okay)
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (yeah, so you notice, huh?)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us (haha, yeah)
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (okay, tell 'em for me, shawty)
    No one on the corner have swagger like us (yeah, that's right)
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us (yeah)

    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    No one on the corner have swagger like us
    Swagger like us, swagger-swagger like us
    Like us, like us, like us, like us, like us, like us Writer/s: Clifford Harris, Dwayne Carter, Geoffrey Jones Michael, Jeff Bhasker, John David Mellor, Kanye West, Mathangi Arulpragasam, Nicholas Bowen Headon, Pat Reynolds, Paul Gustave Simonon, Shawn Carter, Thomas Wesley Pentz
