[Verse 1: Kanye West]
For my theme song (Black)
My leather black jeans on (Black)
Got her bikini on
Research, her thing on
Tell me your theme song
Tell 'em, I leaned on
I'm gonna do something I lean on
With my bling on and my thing on
Got 'em all watching when I walked in
Tellin' me stop with my black skin
Couldn't do nothing when I walked in
But the black-just like a black tint
Lookin' for somethin' and you got it
You don't know what you got it
'Till it start runnin' and you got it
They got head and they can't win

[Chorus: Kanye West]
Take it you wanna to the corner
Trapped out the corner
Four in the mornin', rock in the sauna
And I'm on it, I'm gon' get on it
And I'ma keep going, smoke marijuana
Bitch you want it? You can see that 'till the morning
Trust me, it's stolen, 'till the morning
And I got it and I'm on it (Ah, ah)

[Refrain: Kanye West]
I'm doing 500, I gotta perform (Ah)
They don't wanna go (Ah)
I capped but I'm on the corner (Ah)
I know when they run up
Know what they know when they run up

[Chorus: Kanye West]
Take it you wanna to the corner
Trapped out the corner
Four in the mornin', rock in the sauna
And I'm on it, I'm gon' get on it
And I'ma keep going, smoke marijuana
Bitch you want it? You can see that 'till the morning
Trust me, it's stolen, 'till the morning
And I got it and I'm on it (Ah, ah)

Kanye West

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.
