    Arrow Kanye West - Good Morning

    hi guys! i can't get some parts of Kanye West - Good Morning lyrics. Could someone explain me just in other words in english? I'll put the question marks next to the rows i can't get.

    Good morning [x4]

    Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West, Mr. Fresh
    Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed - ???
    I mean, damn, did you even see the test
    You got D's mother ****er, D's, Rosie Perez
    And yes, barely pass any and every class
    Looking at every ***
    Cheated on every test
    I guess this is my dissertation
    Homie, this **** is basic
    Welcome to graduation

    Good morning
    On this day we become legendary
    Everything we dreamed of
    I'm like a fly Malcolm X
    Buy any jeans necessary
    Detroit wear cleaned up - ???
    From the streets of the league
    From an eighth to a key - ???
    But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets - ???
    From the moments of pain
    Look how far we done came
    Haters saying ya changed
    Now ya doing ya thing

    Good morning
    Look at the valedictorian scared of the future
    While I hop in the Delorean
    Scared-to-face-the-world complacent career student
    Some people graduate, but we still stupid
    They tell you read this, eat this, don't look around
    Just peep this, preach us, teach us, Jesus
    Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness - ???
    After all of that, you receive this

    Good morning
    Hustlers, that's if you're still living - ??? (Hustlers means Prostitute?)
    Get on down - ???
    Every time that we hear them - ???
    Good morning
    Hustlers, that's if you're still living
    Get on down

    You mean you don't understand how the term of the word is used? Like "Hustlers" you are wondering if Hustler means prostitute?
    (Hustlers is a term used for people who are doing whatever they can to make a dollar, pimpin, dealing, stealing, scamming, like a con artist)


    From an eighth to a key - ???
    (sounds like he is referring to the weight of drugs...like a 1/8 of coke to a kilo of coke..as to imply that he is making so much money that he no longers buys little amounts of drugs but now can afford to buy large amounts...sort of like he went from drinking beer out of a can to champagne out of a gold cup)

    But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets - ??
    (sounds like he is saying like when you make something of yourself and start living a better style of life with better things and people)

    Mr. by-his-self-he-so-impressed
    - He means something like that he is egocentric, or full of him self. Because he is so impressed by himself.


    Detroit wear cleaned up
    - He's saying that he's dressing like he's from Detriot but a little more dressy

    From an eighth to a key
    - he's saying he went from selling eigths of cocain, which is small buissiness, to Kilos of cocain, which is big buissiness. So he's making like a metaphor for rags to riches.

    But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
    - he's saying that if you find a way to get out of the ghetto that you've already graduated because your moving on with your life.


    Okay, look up now, they done stole your streetness
    - he means he stopped and realized that as he was changing his life he lost his ghetto quality



    Hustlers, that's if you're still living
    - Hustlers means someone who sells drugs

    Get on down
    - like ..celebrate

    Every time that we hear them
    - i don't reall know lol
