[Intro - Choir]
Little girl, please stop your crying
Cause I'll be late for that
[Chorus: Kanye West (Choir)]
I'll be late for that, baby I'll wait for that
If you had a taste of that, you'd probably pay for that (I'll be late for that)
I'm comin in when I feel like
To turn this motherf**ker up only if it feels right (I'll be late for that)
I'll be late for that, I can't wait for that
I think I was made for that (I'll be late for that)
So I'm comin in when I feel like
To turn this motherf**ker up only if it feels right
[Bridge - Choir]
Now little girl, please stop your crying
Cause I'll be late for that
[Verse One - Kanye West (Choir)]
Stop all your blood clot cryin, I was flyin
Made it to school with barely 'nuff time to sign in (I'll be late for that)
Yeah I hear the alarm, yeah I hear you mom
Yeah yeah I don't wan' be broke when I'm 31 (I'll be late for that)
They said the best classes go to the fastest
Sorry Mr. West there's no good classes, and that's what yo' ass get (I'll be late for that)
Not even electives? Not even prerequits?
You mean I missed my major by a couple of seconds? (I'll be late for that)
Now I'm in the shop class or the basket weavin
With all the rest of the motherf**kers underachievin (I'll be late for that)
Man, this is a insult
I went to junior high with all of them and they been slow (I'll be late for that)
If I can catch the beat then slow down the tempo
Just throw this at the end if I'm too late for the intro
Will I make it (I'll be late for that) from the student loans to a Benz-o?
Like old folks pissin, I guess it all (Depends), oh, oh
[Repeat Bridge]
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Bridge]
[Verse Two - Kanye West (Choir)]
You know when you be late you miss all the lights
That's right [that's right] that's right [that's right] (I'll be late for that)
And when you get back she gon' start up a fight
That night [that night] that night
Baby it's too late for that (I'll be late for that)
Lately I've been takin it slow
Try and make it to the party 'fore the guest list close
With the freshest hoes (I'll be late for that)
The professors know
We about to get real unprofessional (I'll be late for that)
Like them eskimos, what would you do for a Klondike?
Or two dykes that look Christina Milian like (I'll be late for that)
Hmmm, I'll be on time for that
I ain't thought of no line that could rhyme with that (I'll be late for that)
Yo, I'll be there in five minutes, five hours later
I'll be there in five minutes, gon 'head ride with it (I'll be late for that)
I'm so live with it, look how I did it
Been bullshittin but I finally arrived with it
I know it's late and I took all year but (Now little girl, please stop your)
You can stop complainin cause I'm finally here, yeah (crying, cause I'll be late for that)
[Outro - Choir]
I'll be late for that
I'll be late for that
I'll be late for that
I'll be late for that
