Kanye West — Self Conscious (All Falls Down)
“Please give it up for the future of hip hop—Kanye West!”
A then-relatively unknown Kanye West rips though a poetic version of what is now know as “All Falls Down” on Def Poetry Jam. The song has a completely different dynamic when performed as spoken word. In addition to “Self Conscious”, West also performed “Bittersweet” and “18 Years (Gold Digger)” on the show.
As kids we used to laugh
Who knew that life would move this fast?
We are all here for a reason on a particular path You don’t need a curriculum to know that you’re a part of the math Cats think I’m delirious but I’m so damn serious That’s why I expose my soul to the globe; the world I’m trying to make it better for these little boys and girls I’m not just another individual My spirit is a part of this that’s why I get spiritual But I get my hymns from Him So it’s not me, it’s He that’s lyrical I’m not a miracle, I’m a heaven sent instrument My rhythmatic regiment navigates melodic notes For your soul and your mental That’s why I’m instrumental, vibrations is what I’m into Yeah I need my loot by rent day But that ain’t what gives me the heart of Kunta Kinte I’m trying to get us “us free” like Cinque I can’t stop, that’s why I’m hot Determination, dedication, motivation I’m talking to you of my many inspirations When I say I can’t let you or self down If I were on the highest cliff, on the highest riff And if you slipped off the side and clinched on to your life In my grip I would never ever let you down And when these words are found Let it be known that God’s penmanship has been signed With a language called love That’s why my breath is felt by the deaf And while my words are heard and confined to the ears of the blind I too dream in color and in rhyme So I guess I’m one of a kind in a full house Cause whenever I open my heart, my soul or my mouth A touch of God rains out
