Dilated Peoples are a hip hop group who have achieved great fame in the underground hip hop community, although their only real mainstream success was the song This Way, a 2004 collaboration with Kanye West. DJ Babu (from the DJ crew Beat Junkies), Evidence, and Rakaa joined together in 1992 and released Third Degree and Work the Angles, which were quickly established as favorites in the underground scene and among rap critics. They eventually signed to Capitol Records and in 2000 released The Platform, to more critical acclaim. Their sophomore set Expansion Team was released in 2001, led by the Alchemist-produced single Worst Comes To Worst, which sampled from Mobb Deep's Survival Of The Fittest. Their third album, Neighborhood Watch, was released in 2004 and debuted at #55 on USA's Billboard 200 Albums Chart.

This Way Lyrics
Dilated Peoples
[Kanye West (Choir)]
Now turn it up, (a little louder) turn it up (a little louder)
Turn it uuuuup, (a little louder) turn it up (little louder)
Now turn it up (can't live my, I, I can't live my)
(I can't live my, I, I can't live)
Now turn it up, turn it up
[Evidence]
I, I can't live my, can't live my
Yeah, yo I can't live my I, I can't live my
Life this way, continue really get high
Instead of runnin 'round, lock one bird down
It's a new day gotta do it big just to get right
Show no respect can't live that way
You hold my check can't live that way
Without my chick on deck, can't live that way
They say what they like, but I've been that way
Our moves calculated through the limbs, almost here
Succes will be the best revenge
Man, from Clint East' to Kanye West (whut up, whut up!)
Some can't chill but everyday it says (everyday!)
[Chorus - Male Choir (Female Choir)]
This time I made up my mind
This time I got on my grind
I know these days in my life
That I'ma let go startin tonight
(I can't live my, I, I can't live my)
(I can't live my, I, I can't live my)
I can't live my, I, I can't live my
I can't live my this way (can't live my, I, I can't live my)
This way (I can't live my, I, I can't live my)
This way, I can't live my, I, I can't live my
I can't live my life this way
[Kanye West]

My freak girl told me "now, she a christian"
