Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Lyrics






Dark Fantasy

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I fantasized about this back in Chicago
mercy, mercy me, that Murcielago
that's me, the first year that I blow
how you say broke in Spanish? Me no hablo
me drown sorrow in that Diablo
me found bravery in my bravado
DJ's need to listen to the model's
You ain't got no f*ckin' Yeezy in your Serrato?
(You ain't got no Yeezy, nigga?)
stupid, but what the f*ck do I know?
I'm just a Chi-town nigga with a nice flow
and my bitch in that new Phoebe Philo
so much head, I woke up to Sleepy Hollow

Can we get much higher? (higher, higher)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Look like a fat booty Celine Dion
sex is on fire, I'm the King of Leon-a Lewis
beyond the truest
hey, teacher, teacher
tell me how do you respond to students?
and refresh the page and restart the memory?
respark the soul and rebuild the energy?
we stopped the ignorance, we killed the enemies
sorry for the night demons still visit me
the plan was to drink until the pain over
but what's worse, the pain or the hangover?
fresh air, rolling down the window
too many Urkels on your team, that's why your wins low
don't make me pull the toys out, huh
don't make me pull the toys
and fire up the engines
and then they make noooise

Can we get much higher? (higher, higher)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

At the mall there was a seance
just kids, no parents
then the sky filled with heron
(I saw the devil) In a Chrysler LeBaron
And the hell, it wouldn't spare us
(And the fires did declare us)
(But after that, took pills, kissed an heiress)
(And moved her back in Paris)

Can we get much higher? (higher, higher)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Can we get much higher? (higher, higher)
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Gorgeous

[Kid Cudi]
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Not for nothing I've forseen it, I dream it
I can feel it slowly dripping away from me
No more chances if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

[Kanye West - Verse 1]
Penitentiary chances, the devil dances
and eventually answers to the call of Autumn
all of them fallin' for the love of ballin'
got caught with 30 rocks, the cop look like Alec Baldwin
inter century anthems based off inner city tantrums
based off the way we was branded
face it, Jerome get more time than Brandon
and at the airport they check all through my bag and tell me that it's random
but we stay winning, this week has been a bad massage
I need a happy ending and a new beginning
and a new fitted and some job opportunities thats lucrative

this the real world, homie, school finished
they done stole your dreams, you dunno who did it
I treat the cash the way the government treats AIDS
I won't be satisfied til all my n-ggas get it, get it?

[Kid Cudi]
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

[Kanye West - Verse 2]
Is hip hop, just a euphemism for a new religion
the soul music for the slaves that the youth is missing
this is more than just my road to redemption
Malcolm West had the whole nation standing at attention
as long as I'm in Polo's they think they got me
but they would try to crack me if they ever see a black me
I thought I chose a field where they couldn't sack me
if a n-gga aint running shootin a jump shot running a track meet
but this pimp is, ar the top of mount Olympus
ready for the World's game, this is my Olympics
we make 'em say ho cause the game is so pimpish
choke a southpark writer with a fishstick
I insisted to get up offa this d-ck
and these drugs, fans cant resist it
remind me of when they tried to have Ali enlisted
if I ever one of the greatest n-gga, I must have missed it!

[Kid Cudi]
Ain't no question if I want it, I need it
I can feel it slowly drifting away from me
I'm on the edge, so why you playing? I'm saying
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

[Kanye West - Verse 3]
I need more drinks and less lights
and that American Apparal girl in just tights
she told the director she tryna get in a school
he said “take them glasses off and get in the pool”
it's been a while since I watched the tube
cause like a crip set, I got way too many blues for anymore bad news
I was looking at my resume feeling real fresh today
they rewrite history I don't believe in yesterday
and what's a black beetle anyway, a f-cking roach
I guess thats why they got me sitting in f-cking coach
but God said I need a different approach
cause people is looking at me like I'm sniffing coke
it aint funny anymore try dipping jokes
tell 'em hug and kiss my ass, x and o
kiss the ring while they at it, do my thing while I'm got it
play strings for the dramatic
and end all of that wack sh-t
act like I aint had a belt in two classes
I aint got it I'm going after whoever who has it
I'm coming after whoever who has it
you blowing up, that's good, fantastic
that y'all, its like that ya'll
I don't really give a f-ck about it at all
cause the same people that tried to black ball me
forgot about 2 things, my black balls

[Kid Cudi - Chorus]

[Raekwon]
I know cops, hems is lifting lenses
kid, Armani suits, fresh fruits, Bally boots and Benzes
counting up, smoking, one cuff
live as a red Jag, a Louis bag, grabbing a blunt, f-ck it
steam about a hundred and one L's
kites off the jails, buying sweats, running up in Stetson
n-gga hat game was special
it matched every black pair of Nikes
throwing dice for decimals
the older head, bolder head, would train a soldier head
make sure he right in the field, not a soldier dead
got made code red
break up the black skunk
the black dutch, back of the old shed
if you can't live, you dying
you give or buy in
keep it real or keep it moving, keep grinding
keep shining, to every young man, this is a plan
learn from others like your brothers Rae and Kanye

[Kid Cudi]
Not for nothing I've forseen it, I dream it
I can feel it slowly dripping away from me
no more chances if you blow this, you bogus
I will never ever let you live this down, down, down

Power

(Oh hey Oh hey Oh hey
Hey Hey)

I'm living in that 21st century doin' something mean to it
Do it better then anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music

[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clocks tickin' I just count the hours
Stop trippin' I'm tripping off the power
(21st century Schizoid Man)

The system broken, the schools closed, the prison's open
We ain't got nothing to lose motherf*cker we rollin',
Ha? motherf*cker we rollin'
With some light skinned girls and some Kelly Rowland's
In this white man world we the one's chosen
So goodnight cruel world I see you in the mornin',
Ha? I see you in the mornin'
This is way too much, I need a moment.

[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clocks tickin' I just count the hours
Stop trippin' I'm tripping off the power
Till then, f*ck that the world's ours
(21st Century Schizoid Man)

F*ck SNL and the whole cast
Tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically they can kiss my ass hole
I'm an asshole? You niggas got jokes!
You short minded niggas, thoughts is napolean
My furs is Mongolian, my ice brought the goalies in
I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
he knows, he so f*ckin' gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind but couldn't open up my own vault
My child-like creativity, purity and honesty is honestly being crowded by these grown thoughts
Reality is catching up with me, taking my inner child I'm fighting for custody
With these responsibilities that they entrust in me
As I look down at my diamond crush to piece thinking...

[Chorus]
No one man should have all that power
The clocks tickin' I just count the hours
Stop trippin' I'm tripping off the powder
Till then, f*ck that the world's ours
(21st Century Schizoid Man)

Colin Powers, Austin Powers
Lost in translation with a whole f*ckin' nation
They say I was the abomination of Obama's nation
Well that's a pretty dour way to start a conversation
At the end of the day goddamn it I'm killin' this shit
I know damn well ya'll feelin' this shit
I don't need your pussy, bitch I'm on my own dick
I ain't got a power trip who you going home with?
How 'Ye doin'? I'm Surviving
I was drinkin' earlier now I'm driving
Where the bad bitches huh? where ya hidin'?
I got the power make your life so excited..

(Oh hey Oh hey Oh hey
Hey Hey)

Now this'll be a beautiful death
[Dwele]
I'm jumping out the window
Letting everything go
Letting everything go
[x3]

You got the power to let power go..

Monster

[Bon Iver:]
I shoot the lights out
Hide til its bright out
Whoa, just another lonely night
Are you willing to sacrifice your life?

[Rick Ross:]
b**ch I'm a monster no good blood sucker
fat motherf**ker now look who's in trouble
as you run through my jungle all you hear is rumbles
Kanye West sample, here's one for example

[Kanye West - Chorus:]
Gossip gossip
nigga just stop it
everybody know (I'm a motherf**king monster)
I'ma need to see your f**king hands at the concert
I'ma need to see your f**king hands at the concert
profit profit, nigga I got it
everybody know I'm a motherf**king monster
I'ma need to see your f**king hands at the concert
I'ma need to see your f**king hands...

The best living or dead hands down huh?
less talk more head right now huh?
and my eyes more red than the devil is
and I'm bout to take it to another level b**ch
none of who you go and get, ain't nobody's cold as this
do the rap and attract triple double no assist
but my only focus is staying on some bogus sh*t
argue with my older b**ch acting like I owe her sh*t
I heard the people saying raps are getting trap mayne
bought the chain that always give me back pain
f**king up my money so yeah I had to act sane
Chi nigga but these hoes love my accent
she came up to me and said this the number 2 gal
if you wanna make it number one your number 2 now
this that goose an' Malibu I call it Malibooya
God damn Yeezy How I hit em with the new style
know that motherf**ker well, what you gonna do now
whatever I wanna do, gosh it's cool now
nah gonna do, uh its a new now
think you motherf**ker really really need to cool down
cause you will never get on top of this
so mommy best advice is to get on top of this
have you ever had sex with a pharaoh
I put the pussy in a sarcophagus
now she claiming that I bruise her esophagus
head of the class and she just want a swallowship
I'm living in the future so the present is my past
my presence is a present kiss my ass

[Kanye West - Chorus]

[Jay-Z:]
Sasquatch, Godzilla, King Kong
Lochness, Goblin, Ghoul, a zombie with no conscience
question what do all these things have in common
everybody knows I'm a motherf**king monster
conquer, stomp ya, stop your silly nonsense
nonsense, none of you niggas know where the swamp is
none of you niggas have seen the carnage that I've seen
I still hear fiends scream in my dreams
murder murder in black convertibles
I kill a block I murder avenues
rape and pillage a village, women and children
everybody wanna know what my Achilles' heel is
Love I don't get enough of it
all I get is these vampires and blood suckers
all I see is these niggas I've made millionaires
milling about, spilling their feelings in the air
all I see is these fake f**ks with no fangs
tryna draw blood from my ice cold veins
I smell a massacre
seems to be the only way to back you bastards up

[Chorus]

[Nicki Minaj:]
Pull up in the monster
automobile gangster
with a bad b**ch that came from Sri Lanka
yeah I'm in that Tonka, colour of Willy Wonka
you could be the King but watch the Queen conquer
OK first things first I'll eat your brains
then I'mma start rocking gold teeth and fangs
cause that's what a motherf**king monster do
hairdresser from Milan, that's the monster do
monster Giuseppe heel that's the monster shoe
Young Money is the roster and the monster crew
and I'm all up all up all up in the bank with the funny face
and if I'm fake I ain't notice cause my money ain't
let me get this straight wait I'm the rookie
but my features and my shows ten times your pay?
50k for a verse, no album out!
yeah my money's so tall that my Barbie's gotta climb it
hotter than a middle eastern climate
find it Tony Matterhorn dutty wine it
while it, Nicki on them titties when I sign it
have these niggas so one-track minded
but really really I don't give a F-U-C-K
forget barbie f**k Nicki she's fake
she's on a diet but her pockets eating cheese cake
and I'll say Bride of Chucky is child's play
just killed another career it's a mild day
besides 'Ye they can't stand besides me
I think me, you and Am* should menage Friday
pink wig, thick ass, give em whiplash
I think big get cash make em blink fast
now look at what you just saw, this is what you live for
Ah, I'm a motherf**king monster!

[Bon Iver:]
I-I crossed the line-line
and I'll-I'll let God decide-cide
I-I wouldn't last these shows
so I-I am headed home

So Appalled

[Swizz Beatz:]
One hand in the air if you don't really care
two hands in the air if you don't really care
it's like that sometimes I mean ridiculous
it's like that sometimes the shit's ridiculous
One hand in the air if you don't really care
middle finger in the air if you don't really care
it's like that sometimes, man ridiculous
life can be sometimes ridiculous

[Kanye West:]
I'm so appalled
Spalding balled,
Balled in and Donald Trump taking dollars from yall
Baby your fire and your girlfriend hired
And if you don't mind, I'ma keep you on call
We above the law, we don't give a f*ck by yall
I got dogs that chew a f*ckin' hole through the wall
But since they all lovers
I need more rubbers
And if I don't use rubbers, need more covers
House keeping, I mean gawd damn one time
Let it be a bad bitch sweeping
That know we get O's like Cheerios
That know cuz they seen us in the videos
That know, the day that you play me
Will be the same day MTV play videos
that was a little joke, Voila!
Praises due to the most high, Allah
Praises due to the most fly, Prada
Baby Im magic, Tadah!
Address me as your highness
High as United, 30,000 feet up and you are not invited
Niggas be writin' bullshit like they gotta work
Niggas going through real shit, man they outta work
That's why I never gawd damn dance track, gotta hurt
That's why I rather spit something that gotta perch
Champagne wishes, 30 white bitches
I mean the shit is, f*cking ridiculous
F*cking ridiculous, I mean the shit is
F*cking ridiculous

[Pusha T:]
5 star dishes, different exotic fishes
man this shit is, f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous

[Jay-Z:]
How should I begin this
I'm just so offended
how am I even mentioned by all these f*cking beginners?
I'm so appalled I might buy the mall
just to show niggas how much more I have in store
I'm fresher than you all
so I don't have to pause
all of y'all can suck my balls through my draws
dark knight feeling, die or be a hero
or live long enough to see yourself become a villain
I went from the favourite to the most hated
or would you rather be underpaid or over-rated?
moral victories is for minor league coaches
and 'Ye already told you "We Major" you cockroaches
show me where the boats is, Ferrari testarossa's
the Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused
I lost thirty mill so I spent another 30
cuz unlike Hammer 30 mill can't hurt me
f*cking insane, the f*ck am I sayin'
not only am I fly, I'm f*cking not playing
all these little bitches too big for their britches
burning their little bridges
f*cking ridiculous

[Kanye West:]
champagne wishes, thirty white bitches
I mean the shit is f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
I mean the shit is f*cking ridiculous

[Pusha T:]
5 star dishes, different exotic fishes
man this shit is, f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous

[Pusha T:]
Success is what you make it
take it how it come
a half a mill in twenties is like a bill where I'm from
an arrogant drug dealer the legend I've become
CNN said I'd be dead by 21
black jack I just pulled in aces
you looking at the king in his face
everything I dream muthaf*ckers Im watching it take shape
while to you I'm just a young rich nigga that lacks faith
Range Rove leather roof
love war f*ck a truce
still move a bird like I'm in bed with mother goose
them hoes come in a bakers dozen
claiming they was with me when they know they really wasn't
I keep the city's best never said she was the brightest
so if you had it too, it don't affect me in the slightest
I never met a bitch that didn't need a little guidance
so I dismiss her past until she dissappoint your highness

I speak the gospel, hostel
Tony doing time for what he did to nostrils
paranoid mind I'm still under the watchful
eye of the law, aspire for more
them kilo's came we gave you bobby brown jaw
flaws aint flaws when it's you that makes the call
flow similar to the legend of the falls
spillin' I own you all, yeah

[Kanye West:]
champagne wishes, thirty white bitches
I mean the shit is f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
I mean the shit is f*cking ridiculous

[CyHi Da Prynce:]
5 star dishes, different exotic fishes
man this shit is, f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous

[CyHi Da Prynce:]
I am so outrageous,
I wear my pride on my sleeve like a bracelet
if God had an iPod, I'd be on his playlist
my phrases amazes the faces in places
the favourite, huh
my cup over runneth with hundreds
dummy, dammit, not like for me to waste it
the new commandment, thou shall not hate kid
My movement is like the civil rights I'm Ralph David
Abernathy, so call my lady Rosa Parks
I am nothing like them niggas baby those are marks
I met this girl on Valentines day f*cked her in May
she found out about April so she chose to March
damn another broken heart
I keep bitches by the two's nigga, Noah's Ark
I got a seven on me, I call my dro the mark
plus a trojan in my pocket, Matt Leinert
G-A-T in the pathfinder
cause you haters got PHD's
y'all just some major haters and some math minors
Tiger Woods don't make me grab iron

[RZA:]
A yo champagne wishes and dirty white bitches
you know the shit is f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
you know the shit is f*cking ridiculous

cars for the missus and furs for the mistress
you know that shit is F*CKING ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
you know the shit is f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous
f*cking ridiculous

[Swizz Beatz:]
One hand in the air if you don't really care
two hands in the air if you don't really care
it's like that sometimes I mean ridiculous
it's like that sometimes the shit's ridiculous
One hand in the air if you don't really care
middle finger in the air if you don't really care
it's like that sometimes, man ridiculous
life can be sometimes ridiculous

Devil In A New Dress

[ Featuring Rick Ross ]

[Hook:]
Put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I'm preaching to the congregation
We love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
We ain't married but tonight I need some consummation

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
May the Lord forgive us
May the god's be with us
In that magic hour I seen good Christians
Make rash decisions
Oh she do it, what happened to religion?
Oh she lose it
She putting on her make up
She casually allure
Text message break ups, the casualty of tour
How she gone wake up and not love me no more?
I thought I was the ass hole, I guess it's rubbing off
Hood phenomenon, the Lebron of rhyme
Hard to be humble when you stunting on a jumbotron
I'm looking at her like "this what you really wanted, huh?"
Why we argue anyway? Oh, I forgot, it's Summertime

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
When the sun go down it's the magic hour (the magic hour)
And outta all the colors that'll fill up the skies
You got green on your mind
I can see it in your eyes
Why you standing there with your face screwed up?
Don't leave while you're hot that's how Mase screwed up
Throwing shit around, the whole place screwed up
Maybe I should call Mase so he could pray for us
I hit the Jamaican spot, at the bar, take a seat
I ordered you jerk, she said "you are what you eat"
You see I always loved that sense of humor
But tonight you should have seen how quiet the room was
The Lyor Cohen of Dior Homme
That's "Dior Homme", not "Dior, homie"
The crib Scarface could it be more Tony?
You love me for me? Could you be more phony?

[Interlude: Kanye West]
Put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
Haven't said a word, haven't said a word
To me this evening
Cat got your tongue?

[Verse 3: Rick Ross]
Lookin' at my bitch I bet she give your ass a bone
Lookin' at my wrist it'll turn your ass to stone
Stretch limousine, sippin' Rosé all along
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot, excess is just my character
All black tux, nigga the shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbin' up the Lord's ladder
We still speedin' runnin' signs like they don't matter
Uh, hater talkin' never made me mad
Never that when I'm in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4s at the Clearport
When it come to tools fool I'm a Pep Boy
When it came to dope I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin' so it's on to the next sport
New Mercedes sedan, they'll export
So many cars DMV though it was mail fraud
Different traps, I was gettin' mail from
Polk County, Jacksonville, rep Melbourne
Whole clique's appetite had tapeworms
Spinnin' Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my jay burns
I shed a tear before the nights over
God bless the man I put this ice over
Gettin' 2Pac money twice over
Still a real nigga, red Coogi sweater, dice roller
I'm makin' love to the angel of death
Catchin' feelings never stumble retracin' my steps

Runaway

Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya, look at ya, look at ya
Look at ya, look at ya (ladies and gentlemen)
Look at ya, look at ya (ladies, ladies and gentlemen)

And I always find, yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time (so I think it's time)
For us to have a toast

Let's have a toast for the douche bags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can

She find pictures in my email
I sent this bitch a picture of my dick
I don't know what it is with females
But I'm not too good at that shit
See, I could have me a good girl
And still be addicted to them hood rats
And I just blame everything on you
At least you know that's what I'm good at

And I always find
Yeah, I always find
Yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time (so I think it's time)
For us to have a toast

Let's have a toast for the douche bags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can

Run away from me, baby
Run away
Run away from me, baby
Run away
When it starts to get crazy, then run away
Babe, I got a plan, run away as fast as you can
Run away from me, baby
Run away
Run away from me, baby
Run away
When it starts to get crazy
Why can't she just run away?
Baby, I got a plan
Run away as fast as you can

Twenty-four seven, three sixty-five
Pussy stays on my mind
I-I-I-I did it
Alright, alright, I admit it
Now pick your next move
You can leave or live wit' it
Ichabod Crane with that mothaf*ckin' top off
Split and go where?
Back to wearin' knockoffs? Haha
Knock it off, Neiman's, shop it off
Let's talk over mai tais, waitress, top it off
Hoes like vultures, wanna fly in your Freddy loafers
You can't blame 'em, they ain't never seen Versace sofas
Every bag, every blouse, every bracelet
Comes with a price tag, baby, face it
You should leave if you can't accept the basics
Plenty hoes in the baller-nigga matrix
Invisibly set, the Rolex is faceless
I'm just young, rich, and tasteless
P

Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know it did damage
'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me
I guess then you at an advantage
'Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know how I'ma manage
If one day you just up and leave

And I always find, yeah, I always find somethin' wrong
You been puttin' up wit' my shit just way too long
I'm so gifted at findin' what I don't like the most
So I think it's time (so I think it's time)
For us to have a toast

Let's have a toast for the douche bags
Let's have a toast for the assholes
Let's have a toast for the scumbags
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast for the jerk offs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can

Hell Of A Life

I think I just fell in love with a porn star
Turn the camera on, she a born star
Turn the corners in a foreign car
Call the coroners do the CPR
She gave that old nigga a ulcer
Her bitter sweet taste made his gold teeth fake, uh
Make her knees shake, make a priest faint, uh
Make a nun cum, make her cremate, uh
Move downtown, cop a sweet space, uh
Livin' life like we won the sweepstakes, what!
We headin' to hell for heaven's sake, Huh!
Well I'mma levitate, make the devil wait, Yeah!

[Chorus]
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me when you think we crossed the line
No more drugs for me, pussy and religion is all I need
Grab my hand and baby we'll live a hell of a life

Never in your wildest dreams, never in your wildest dreams
In your wildest
You could hear the loudest screams, comin' from inside the screen
You a wild bitch
Tell me what I gotta do to be that guy
Said her price go down, she ever f*ck a black guy
Or do anal, or do a gangbang
It's kinda crazy that's all considered the same thing
Well I guess alotta niggas do gang bang
And if we run trains, we all in the same gang
Runaway slaves all on a chain gang
Bang bang bang bang bang

[Chorus]
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me when you think we crossed the line
No more drugs for me, pussy and religion is all I need
Grab my hand and baby we'll live a hell of a life

One day I'm gon' marry a porn star
We'll have a big ass crib and a long yard
We'll have a mansion and some fly maids
Nothin' to hide, we both screwed the bride's maid
She wanna role play, 'til I roll over
I'mma need a whole day, at least rolled doja
What party is we goin' to on Oscar day
'Specially if she can't get that dress from Oscar de
La Renta, they wouldn't rent her they couldn't take the shame
Snatched the dress off her back and told her, "Get away."
How could you say they live they life wrong?
When you never f*ck with the lights on

[Chorus]
Have you lost your mind?
Tell me when you think we crossed the line
No more drugs for me, pussy and religion is all I need
Grab my hand and baby we'll live a hell of a life

[Outro]
I think I fell in love with a porn star
And got married in a bathroom
Honeymoon on the dance floor
And got divorced by the end of the night
That's one hell of a life

Blame Game

[John Legend]
Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call her names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call her names, names, for sure.

I'll call you bitch for short as a last resort and my first result.
You call me motherf*cker for long,
At the end of it you know we both were wrong.

But I love to play the blame game, I love you more.
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call out names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call out names, names, for sure.

[Kanye West]
On a bathroom wall I wrote
"I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else" (else, else, else)
I took a piss and dismiss it like f*ck it and I went and found somebody else
F*ck arguing or harvesting the feelings, I'd rather be by my f*cking self
Till about 2am and I call back and I hang up and start to blame myself
Somebody help

[Chorus - John Legend]

[Kanye West]
You weren't perfect but you made life worth it
Stick around, real feelings might surface
Been a long time since I spoke to you in a bathroom gripping you up f*ckin and choking you
What the hell was I supposed to do
I know you aint getting this type of dick from that local dude
And if you are I hope you are have a good time
Cause I definitely be having mine

And you aint finna see a mogul get emotional
Every time I hear bout other nigga's stroking you
Might say I hit you
He sitting there consoling you
Runnin my name through the mud
Who's provoking you
You should be grateful a nigga like me ever noticed you
Now you noticeable and cant nobody can control you
1 A.M. and can't nobody get a hold of you
I'm calling your brothers phone like what was I supposed to do
Even though I knew, he never told the truth
He was just gon say whatever you gon told him too
At a certain point I had to stop asking questions
Chuck dirt on eachother like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money
Dat aint right girl
You getting blackmailed for that white girl
You always said Yeezy I ain't you're right girl
Probably find one of them "I like art" type girls
All of the lights, she was caught in the hype girl
And I was satisfied being in love with the lie
And who to blame, you to blame, me to blame
For the pain and it poured every time when it rained
Let's play the blame game...

[John Legend]
Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.

[Kanye West]
Things used to be, now they not
Anything but us is who we are
Disguising ourselves as secret lovers
We've become public enemies
We walk away like strangers in the street
Gone for eternity
We erased one another
So far from where we came
With so much of everything, how do we leave with nothing
Lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
Hatred and attitude tear us entirely

Let's play the blame game, I love you, more
Let's play the blame game for sure.
Let's call out names, names, I hate you, more.
Let's call out names, names, for sure.

I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much
No, I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much

And I know that you are somehwere doing your thing
And when the phone called it just ring and ring
You aint pick up but your phone accidently called me back
And I heard the whole thing.
I heard the whole thing, the whole thing, the whole thing...

[Chris Rock]
Ohh my God..
Baby you done took this shit to another motherf*cking level
Now a neighbourhood nigga like me aint supposed to be gettin no pussy like this
Damn, Damn! Who taught you how to get sexy for a nigga?
(Yeezy taught me)
You never used to talk dirty, but now you got damn disgusting,
My, my God, where'd you learn that?
(Yeezy taught me)
Look at you motherf*cking butt ass naked with these motherf*cking Jimmy Choos off
Who taught you how to put some motherf*cking Jimmy Choos on?
(Yeezy taught me)
Yo you took your game up a whole 'nother level, this is some Cirque 'u Soleil now!
You done went all porno on it, k. And I, and I love it..
And I thank you, I thank you, my dick thanks you!
How did you learn, how.. how did your game come up?
(Yeezy taught me)
I was f*cking parts of your pussy I never f*ck before
I was in there like oo I never been here before. I've never even seen this part of town before.
It's like you got this shit re-upholstered or something. What the f*ck happened?
Who, who the f*ck got your pussy all re-upholstered?
(Yeezy re-upholstered my pussy)
You know what, I got to thank Yeezy.
And when I see that nigga Imma thank him.
Imma buy his album, Imma download that.. Imma shoot a bootlegger!
That's how good I feel about this nigga
Oww, I still can't believe you got me this watch. This motherf*cker is the exact motherf*cker I wanted
Even with the bezel this is the motherf*cker I wanted. I saw this shit, I saw it
Twista had this shit on in The Source. I remember, Twista had this motherf*cker on in The Source
That's right, that's right! Yo yo babe, yo yo this is the best birthday ever!
Where you learn to treat a nigga like this?
(Yeezy taught me)
Yeezy taught you well, Yeezy taught you well.

Lost In The World

[Sample From "Woods": Justin Vernon]
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
I'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time
'm up in the woods, I'm down on my mind
I'm building a sill to slow down the time

[Chorus: x2]
I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mind
I'm new in the city, and I'm down for the night
Down for the night
Said she's down for the night

[Kanye West:]
Your my Devil, Your my Angel
Your my Heaven, Your my Hell
Your my Now, Your my Forever
Your my Freedom, Your my Jail
Your my Lies, Your my Truth
Your my War, Your my Truce
Your my Questions, Your my Proof
Your my Stress and your my Masseuse
Mama-say mama-say ma-ma-coo-sah
Lost in this Plastic life,
Let's Break out of this fake ass Party
Turn this in to a Classic Night
If we die in each others arms we still get laid in our Afterlife
If we die in each others arms we still get laid

[Chorus: x2]
I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mind
I'm new in the city, and I'm down for the night
Down for the night
Said she's down for the night

Who will survive in America
Who will survive in America
Who will survive in America

[Chorus: x2]
I'm lost in the World, I'm down on my mind
I'm new in the city, and I'm down for the night
Down for the night
Said she's down for the night

[Gil-Scott Heron:]
Us living as we do upside down.
And the new word to have is revolution.
People don't even want to hear the preacher spill or spiel because God's whole card has been thoroughly piqued.
And America is now blood and tears instead of milk and honey.
The youngsters who were programmed to continue f*cking up woke up one night digging Paul Revere and Nat Turner as the good guys.
America stripped for bed and we had not all yet closed our eyes.
The signs of Truth were tattooed across our open ended vagina.
We learned to our amazement untold tale of scandal.
Two long centuries buried in the musty vault, hosed down daily with a gagging perfume.
America was a bastard the illegitimate daughter of the mother country whose legs were then spread around the world and a rapist known as freedom, free doom.
Democracy, liberty, and justice were revolutionary code names that preceded the bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling bubbling in the mother country's crotch

What does Webster say about soul?
All I want is a good home and a wife
And a children and some food to feed them every night.
After all is said and done build a new route to China if they'll have you.

Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?
Who will survive in America?

I know you see me now right now

I got my suit and tie
And I don't know if y'all know
Well, maybe y'all do
Or maybe y'all don't
But I don't really care
It's how we on it all the time
So I'ma get my money
Let's go

[Kanye West]
Now, I'ma need you to kill the hypocrisy
This is an aristocracy
I'm Socrates, but my skin more chocolately
What's up with who? That's old news
I'm in a speedboat, in my boat shoes
Huh? I swear my whole collection's so cool
I might walk in Nobu with no shoes
He just walked in Nobu like it was Whole Foods!
That nigga crazy, I told you!
Immature adult (uh huh), insecure asshole (what else?)
And if you fall on the concrete, that's yo' ass fault
If you pass on a Kon beat, that's yo' last fault
Get what you ask for, I swear that's yo' ass, so
She got a big booty, but she couldn't drop that ass low
'Til you take yo' last ho, and rope up all the cash flow
When you gettin' money, they be all up on yo' ass, yo
When you gettin' money Kons don't let a nigga pass go
Straight to jail, yo, in a hell hole
Right next to Lucifer, tell 'em I say hello
Ask him if I'ma be there soon and tell 'im I said "Hell, no!"
Yo, what you say when your people get out of jail, huh?

[Beyonce with Kanye West in brackets]
My niggas is home
I guess I got everything
Everything I want
(Lets go shopping dog, lets celebrate)
But I don't
No matter how good it gets
(Free Weezy though)
It'll never be like before
No women in the crowd
Screamin' and it's loud
Doin' things not allowed
And I swear it's goin' down right now
(You know what it is)
I know one thing, my mama would be proud
And you see me lookin' up
'Cause I know she's lookin' down right now

Pour the champagne, let your watch show
Shorty got a man watch, wrist look colossal
I admit my first watch was a Fossil
Now I'm in the Louvre, lookin' for fossils
Attention to detail is so uncanny
And the whip's on the Sprewells, it's so un-Camry
Somebody need to put us on camera
The world of Rollies and everyone families
Stay Jordan fresh, suits and Ferrari's
Cute, your shorty watch Barneys, we at de Bonny's
End up at Marley, Georgi, and service from Sergio
Da Kine Lamborghini, the chain throw off the vertigo
I know the flow just hit a hellafied vertical
This the Christ year, last year was magic, thirty-two
Lyrically, can't none of y'all murder 'Ye
'Cause y'all raps ain't got no vertebrae
I got styled last June and she heard of me
I killed the fur last Paris, raised the murder rate
First of all, we all know the beats is
Like a mix between Fergie and Jesus
Imagine the direction of this immaculate conception
Every one of His Majesty's swim parties is paegantries
Cannonball off the diving board when I am board
All my homies GD's, but I am lord
Rap god, Greek mythology
And this life too crazy to think logically
Here's something that you could use in analogy
My life is like a child's illusions become reality

[Beyonce]
Now go get my throne
'Cause I don't wanna stop
I just go in my zone
And I'ma make it hot
'Til it's time to go
When it's time to go
Where you tryna go?
You better act like you can see me now
(Exactly!)

I know you see me now right now

Hey, feel like one of those old R. Kelly joints, right?
I bet they put me back on the cover of Ebony now
I know Jet Magazine callin' right now
You lookin' good today, too
I like that
You got your new suit on
And she got the extra cute on
I know you thinkin' "This that Yeezy we all love"
I'm back, baby
We back, baby!

And I'mma let you finish, but I got Beyonce on the track

We the greatest in the world!

Retreating to a self-imposed exile in Hawaii after a period of controversy in 2009, following his interruption of Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs), he recorded the album at Honolulu's Avex Recording Studio in a communal environment involving numerous musicians.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, while reaching the top 10 in five other countries, including also topping the Canadian Albums Chart. It eventually registered a triple platinum certification in the United States from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), alongside sales certifications in a few other territories.

It has been ranked in lists as the best album of the 2010s and among the greatest of all time by several publications, including Pitchfork and Rolling Stone.
