Lyrics from Snippets

[Intro]
(Woah!)
(Stay on em, stay on em) on em, on em
Stay on em (stay on em, stay on em) na-na-na
Stay on em (stay on em) uh- stay on em

[Hook]
Boy, I ain't waitin' 'round
I ain't waitin' 'round for some handouts (Handout)
I'ma always stand out, always stand out
That's hands down (Hands down) (Woo!)
Better tell them boys, better tell them boys
Tell them "stand down" (Stand down)
And that boy soft as hell, hell
Till he got his man 'round (Man 'round)

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.
