[Intro]
Whose fault?

[Chorus]
Let's play the blame game, I love you more
Let's play the blame game, for sure
Let's call out names, names, I hate you more
Let's call out names, name, for sure

[Bridge]
I'll call you bitch for short
As the last resort, as my first resort
You call me motherfucker for long
At the end now, now we both for wrong

[Chorus]
But I love to play the blame game, I love you more
And it is I not fighting you, for sure
Let's call names, names, I hate you for
One day for sure you have to knock on the door

[Verse 1]
On a bathroom wall I wrote
"I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else" (Someone else, someone else)
I took a piss and dismiss it and off it
And I went and found somebody else (Else, else)
Fuck arguing and harvestin' the mum-puh-nuh
I'd rather be by my fucking self (Self)
Till about two o'clock and I call back up in the suhm-puh-nuhm-puh suhm-puh-nuh you dealt (Dealt)

[Chorus]
And I just sing to play the blame game, I love you more
Until it's up, thum-puh-nuhm-nuh for sure
And call names, names, I hate you more
Is there anything I can do to hold, like, uh-f-fuh

[Verse 2]
You weren't perfect but you made life worth it
Stick around and some feelings might surface
When I ought for too long to— uh, think since I spoke to you in a bathroom
Gripping you up, fucking and choking you
What the hell was I supposed to do?
I know you ain't getting this kind of dick from that local dude
And if you are I hope you have a good time
'Cause I definitely be having mine

[Chorus]
And play the blame game, I love you more
Take uh-seh, ah-puh-luhm-suhn-do
And call names, names, I hate you, whore
You can't do somethin', damn, like "God", suhm-hoah

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.
