We are the actual [C] inhabitants of [D] your ex-cataclysm.
But in this case, we are the ideas.
It's after hours at that flamorous ice-bath
and we're taking it easy, swapping person on the screen.
Let's listen in American Today.
[Bb] Life at a party, mm [A]-mm.
[D] I almost died, mm-mm.
[Bb] It's the life of the [Dm] party, mm-mm.
To [A] think I [D] could have almost died.
Lord help us.
[Bb] Hey, Miss Donda, you runnin' to my mama, please tell her I said say [A] somethin'.
I'm startin' to [D] believe ain't no such thing as heaven's trumpets.
No after over, this is it, done.
If there's a heaven you would think they let you [Bb] speak to your son.
Maybe she has in the form of a baby's [G] laugh.
I heard passin' by in a [A] stroller, remindin' me,
hey, keep [D] rollin' on, oh.
Maybe she has with the prick of a blade of grass I've been layin' on way too long.
Got me itchy, got up and [Bb] roamed a little more.
Miss Donda, you see my mama, tell her I'm lost.
You see, [A] she'd always light a cigarette.
We'd [D] talk, I would cough, exaggeratin' a little bit.
So she get the point, tryin' to get her to stop smokin'.
I would lead and fire up a [Bb] joint till I quit.
Started back up again, 20 [Gm] years later.
All that time, y'all thought [A] a nigga was hot.
Thought I was [D] crazy, mama.
She ain't cut no corners, got me back on track.
I don't miss her oversteppin', but do miss her showin' seven [Bb] civilian life shit.
Ah, Miss Donda, you see my mama, [Gm] whisper her this.
The [A] real reason I was geeked to go to [D] church was confessin'
when y'all grown-ups would be in Bible study.
That girl helpin' me with my homework, her and I were [Bb] fuckin' so pure and perverted.
So [Gm] spirit-spinning and dirty, so on, so on, and [A] so on.
We hope that no one [D] heard it.
And to this day, I think her mama knew, but [Bb] let us explore.
Miss Donda, you see my father, please ask him why.
He never [A] married, always smiled, but was he [D] happy inside?
Because to carry my mother's name, did he carry shame with him?
You sure she did it out of spite?
Was her [Bb] decision at birth?
She said she probably would hurt.
Ah, poor baby, two young people with different [A] views.
A lot for a young [D] lady.
No coincidence, they both passed away from heart conditions.
There's a dissidence at play.
Dad and Mom do hard [Bb] division, 3,000.
Poster [Dm] child for big-dick niggas raised by their mothers.
I'm supposed to [A] smile as if God knew that [D] I would be troubled.
Keeps me around for what I don't know.
But I do know that it's crucial that we do so pronto.
I don't know [Bb] how much longer.

[Bb] Southside gang mentality way [Gm] heavy.
I was thinking out the [A] box, even in a box [D] Chevy.
And my favorite art teacher name was Mrs.
Levy.
Around the time I learned to put my feelings [Bb] through a medley.
I ain't [Gm] turned that home up for like [A] four months.
And I [D] bet she let me.
She saw the vision.
Yeezy, you special, gonna make your own [Bb] decisions.
And, man, that was a good choice.
[Gm] Faith driving [A] us like a Rolls Royce.
She like [D] Rolls Royce.
They try to [Bb] take my voice away.

Ridley, [Gm] get off Scott free, [A] I'm talking Ridley.
[D] Get off our knees, that's if you're with me.
Get off your knees, that's if you're with me.
[Bb] Get off your knees and let's get free.
[Gm] Get off your knees [A] and let's get free.
[D] Ridley, I mean Ridley.
Ridley, I mean Ridley.
[Bb] I need Ridley, I don't need police.
[Gm] I'm like nigga police.
[A] Y'all can't need me, [D] never need me.
For the real me, for the real me.
I've been waiting [Bb] _ for the real me.
[Gm] Tell me when, [A] for the real me.
[D] I've been waiting for the real _ me.
I've been waiting [Bb] for the real me.
I've been waiting for the [Dm] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] real me.
You ready mama? _ _ _ _
[Bb] Yup.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] Daddy's _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[D] right here.
I got you, that's ok.
Ok. _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ See [A] it's over.
You did it [D] baby.
It's _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] already over.
_ [Dm] _ I'm with daddy right [A] here.
Right here, I told you [D] I'm not gonna let you go.
_ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
But in this case, we are the ideas.
It's after hours at that flamorous ice-bath
and we're taking it easy, swapping person on the screen.
Let's listen in American Today.
[Bb] _ Life at a party, mm [A]-mm.
[D] I almost _ died, mm-mm.
[Bb] It's the life of the [Dm] party, mm-mm.
To [A] think I [D] could have almost died.
_ _ Lord help us. _
[Bb] Hey, Miss Donda, you runnin' to my mama, please tell her I said say [A] somethin'.
I'm startin' to [D] believe ain't no such thing as heaven's trumpets.
No after over, this is it, done.
If there's a heaven you would think they let you [Bb] speak to your son.
Maybe she has in the form of a baby's [G] laugh.
I heard passin' by in a [A] stroller, remindin' me,
hey, keep [D] rollin' on, oh.
Maybe she has with the prick of a blade of grass I've been layin' on way too long.
Got me itchy, got up and [Bb] roamed a little more.
Miss Donda, you see my mama, tell her I'm lost.
You see, [A] she'd always light a cigarette.
We'd [D] talk, I would cough, exaggeratin' a little bit.
So she get the point, tryin' to get her to stop smokin'.
I would lead and fire up a [Bb] joint till I quit.
Started back up again, 20 [Gm] years later.
All that time, y'all thought [A] a nigga was hot.
Thought I was [D] crazy, mama.
She ain't cut no corners, got me back on track.
I don't miss her oversteppin', but do miss her showin' seven [Bb] civilian life shit.
Ah, Miss Donda, you see my mama, [Gm] whisper her this.
The [A] real reason I was geeked to go to [D] church was confessin'
when y'all grown-ups would be in Bible study.
That girl helpin' me with my homework, her and I were [Bb] fuckin' so pure and perverted.
So [Gm] spirit-spinning and dirty, so on, so on, and [A] so on.
We hope that no one [D] heard it.
_ _ _ And to this day, I think her mama knew, but [Bb] let us explore.
Miss Donda, you see my father, please ask him why.
He never [A] married, always smiled, but was he [D] happy inside?
Because to carry my mother's name, did he carry shame with him?
You sure she did it out of spite?
Was her [Bb] decision at birth?
She said she probably would hurt.
Ah, poor baby, two young people with different [A] views.
A lot for a young [D] lady.
No coincidence, they both passed away from heart conditions.
There's a dissidence at play.
Dad and Mom do hard [Bb] division, 3,000.
Poster [Dm] child for big-dick niggas raised by their mothers.
I'm supposed to [A] smile as if God knew that [D] I would be troubled.
Keeps me around for what I don't know.
But I do know that it's crucial that we do so pronto.
I don't know [Bb] how much longer.
Straight from Shibuya on some Zen.
We [A] back ramped up, we on [D] 10.
It's a marathon, and look, we coming for the win.
Just like Puff told Christopher, we gonna [Bb] win, big.
Put the whole family on, looking what my [G] Kim did.
Just like Puff [A] told Christopher, we gonna [D] win, big.
_ We gonna win, big.
What? _ _
[Bb] Southside gang mentality way [Gm] heavy.
I was thinking out the [A] box, even in a box [D] Chevy.
And my favorite art teacher name was Mrs.
Levy.
Around the time I learned to put my feelings [Bb] through a medley.
_ I ain't [Gm] turned that home up for like [A] four months.
And I [D] bet she let me.
She saw the vision.
_ Yeezy, you special, gonna make your own [Bb] decisions.
And, man, that was a good choice.
[Gm] Faith driving [A] us like a Rolls Royce.
She like [D] Rolls Royce.
_ _ _ _ They try to [Bb] take my voice away.
I ain't trying to take your choice [Gm] away.
I just trade a water break just [A] for my daughter's sake.
From a [D] slip up, fake signatures from fake managers.
It all damage ya.
Good [Bb] Lord, give them enough [Dm] of they own rope to hang with.
The paparazzi [A] never really got where my angle [D] is.
They keep my married life like some type of entanglement.
My neighbors still dissing, wonder why I ain't saying [Bb] it.
I can smell the setup, that's the Tupac and Vegas [Gm] hit.
I reveal myself [A] and some don't know what to make [D] of it.
Gotta set themself to make sure that the baby live.
And if they ain't here, then tell me who gonna say [Bb] this shit.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a god damn [Dm] minute.
Let me stop playing [A] with it.
Hop in the land [D] with it.
Hop in the land with it.
In a damn pandemic, nervous Uncle Sam gotta have his damn hand [Bb] in it.
Listen.
Straight [Gm] from Shibuya on some [A] Zen.
I'm on [D] 10.
It's a marathon and look, we coming for the win.
Just like Puff told Christopher, we gon' [Bb] win, bitch.
Put the whole family on, looking what my Kim did.
Just like Puff [A] told Christopher, we gon' [D] win, bitch.
Huh?
We gon' win, bitch.
What? _ _
[Bb] _ Mama, your son in the red hat, had some of [A] Sedbeck's hat.
Shit in a [D] sad vest hat made everyone mad.
He made 808, so he's everyone that know he ever [Bb] get sad.
Tell Rose by the shore, close my eyes, I can [G] see more.
Nobody [A] punking me, nobody pressuring me, [D] nobody gangstering me.
Especially when the gangsters eat, thanks to me.
And my favorite principal name was [Bb] Mrs.
Boogers.
She was strict, the perfect instructor for [Gm] young poops.
Vladimir, [A] just so that it's [D] clear.
Whom should we fear when we know dad is here?
_ I don't [Bb] playboy over your dead body for my daughter, pose a [Gm] playboy.
We don't get [A] done.
Over [D]-sexualization of the kids in the home.
Battery in my back, this house of pain won't ever last.
Syhap [Bb] told me to my face, that sicko mode was the [Gm] sickest song.
We're gone, cause Donna [A] was the best ghostwriter I [D] ever had.
South Park had jokes about fist sticks.
To this day, the whole team could kiss [Bb] this dick.
I put Ferdzal and Drake on the same text.
[Gm] And it wasn't about the matching [A] Arc'teryx or Kid [D] Cudi dress.
Just told these grown men, stop it with the funny shit.
I might hire the whole team from [Bb] ACG.
So don't text me like I'm Juanita JCB.
Or more [A] important, Monica Corgan, who was [D] there for me.
Somebody really there for me, was rare for me.
That was new air to breathe.
When I was underappreciated, [Bb] undervaluated.
Stockholders told me, boardrooms would bore [Gm] you.
Can't remember going by [A] your rules, try to follow the [D] Lord's rules.
Shawty was the new Abu Dhabi.
Told Drake, don't play with me on GD.
And he sent that message to [Bb] everybody.
So if I hit you with a W-Y-D, you [Gm] better hit me with,
Yes sir, [A] I'm writing everything [D] you need.
I told you I was gonna take the summer back.
So any other cap won't take [Bb] none of that.
Wear my motherfucking red hat.
The security and the nannies be [A] forever handling.
I can't [D] stand it when it's time to put in the kids.
Back in Sierra Canyon when daddy got his own school.
Try to smile [Bb] for these white people if you want.
While we build a team [Gm] to get Hoover out the [A] joint.
I [D] do what I want bro in my life.
Serve and protect, longest is [Bb] my wife.
Screaming on M and N's for trying to lower [D] the percentage of scams.
[A] See I was going in back [D] when they thought I was only making M's.
Now it's 9 Billy, you ain't gotta like me but you feel me.
[Bb] Do y'all feel me?
Ridley, [Gm] get off Scott free, [A] I'm talking Ridley.
[D] Get off our knees, that's if you're with me.
Get off your knees, that's if you're with me.
[Bb] Get off your knees and let's get free.
[Gm] Get off your knees [A] and let's get free.
[D] Ridley, I mean Ridley.
Ridley, I mean Ridley.
[Bb] I need Ridley, I don't need police.
[Gm] I'm like nigga police.
[A] Y'all can't need me, [D] never need me.
For the real me, for the real me.
I've been waiting [Bb] _ for the real me.
[Gm] Tell me when, [A] for the real me.
[D] I've been waiting for the real _ me.
I've been waiting [Bb] for the real me.
