[Intro]
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
She don't believe in shootin' stars
But she believe in shoes and cars
Wood floors in the new apartment
Couture from the store's departments
You more like "love to start shit"
I'm more of the trips to Florida
Ordered the hors d'oeuvres, views of the water
Straight from a page of your favorite author
And the weather so breezy
Man, why can't life always be this easy?
She in the mirror dancin' so sleazy
I get a call like, "Where are you, Yeezy?"
And try to hit you with the ol-wu-wopte
'Til I got flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these niggas got me
I hate these niggas more than the Nazis
[Hook: Dwele]
As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know?
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
What do I know? Know
Flashing lights (lights, lights)
[Verse 2: 50 Cent]
Fity
Up and down, she likes on top, facts
Praying that the condom pop, that fair
But fuck me so hood, to me
And Hollywood's been real real good to
Now who give a fuck if a bitch just ain't shit
In the whip, she gives CPR to my dick
You losing her baby, feeding em up quick
Bitch, roleplay, I'm getting really into this shit
In the telly on all fours, ride that like a horse
I'm screaming 'whoo-ha' to my boy Rick Ross
Call me 50, call me daddy, you can call me the boss
I dig Double XXL, you can call me the sauce
I can laugh at my performance and get that perfume
You supposed to be quick bitch, I kept on my shoes
Oh, you thought we had a love thing? No, you no fools
Don't listen to the dicept, its never ever true
[Outro: Kanye West]
At the end of the day I care, and I'd rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I am not. You know, I don't have media training and all that stuff. And and you know, even with all the backlash that I had, I feel like I should approach it, man. You live by the sword you die by the sword. You express yourself, I'm here to express myself and you know people gon understand me like yo its not a matter of understanding me like yo it being about me, it's not about me I'm just being passionate
And that's where you're wrong
