[Verse 1]
Final, time's off
Time's up, time off
Had it been, final
Turnin' up, tie in all
Heaven all wrecked, ooh
Done had it with this reign, mhm
It was written, so I read
Three stacks on the bed
I think they woke the dead

[Chorus]
Think they woke the dead, mhm
They can't keep me on the meds, doctor won't
But they, won't slow down my breath, uh
It's so many less, I think they woke the dead

[Segue]
I think they woke the dead

[Chorus]
Think they woke the dead, doctor won't
They can't keep me on the meds, doctor won't
But they, won't slow down my breath, uh
It's so many less, I think they woke the dead

[Verse 2]
Just like David said
Grindin' for the bread
Designin' for the blessed, uh
There's so many less, I think they woke the dead
Doctor won't, ah, ooh-yeah, doctor won't (Ooh-yeah)
Doctor won't, three stacks on the bed, doctor won't
I think they woke the dead

[Chorus]
Think they woke the dead, mhm
They can't keep me on the meds, doctor won't
But they, won't slow down my breath, uh
It's so many less, I think they woke the dead

[Outro]
Final, time's off
Time's up, time off
Had it been, final
There's so many less, I think they woke the dead
Time stopped, my loss
All they wish, my loss
Every stop, that's your loss
It's so many less, I think they woke the dead
Final, time's off
Time's up, time off
Had it been, final
It's so many less, I think they woke the dead

The ubiquitous Kanye West—from his famous quip, “George Bush doesn’t care about black people,” to “I'ma let you finish,” to marrying Kim Kardashian, to announcing that he’s running for President, and admitting his love for President Trump—you can see that he’s a staple of the tabloids and the entertainment world, industry-wide.

That certainly doesn’t take anything away from his music; as a matter of fact, it only seems to add to his fortuitous career. For instance, his 2010 album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was universally praised by fans and critics alike; it was recorded during the backlash he received from the Swift interruption and during his break-up with then-girlfriend Amber Rose.

He has scored other well-known hits, as well, from each of his previous studio albums—such as “Stronger,” “Heartless,” and “Gold Digger.” Each of his albums has been massive critical and commercial successes, including his collaboration album with JAY-Z, Watch the Throne. As of 2020, West has won an astounding 21 Grammys, tied with JAY-Z as the most decorated hip-hop artist in Grammy history.
