[Chorus]
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
Sometimes I scare myself, myself
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
Sometimes I scare, myself, myself

[Verse 1]
Tweakin', tweakin' off that TCB, huh
Is he gon' make it? TBD, huh
They tryna make me run; DMC, huh
I done died and lived again on DMT, huh
See, this the type of high that won't come down
This the type of high that get you gunned down
Yeezy, Yeezy trollin' low-key, huh
Turn TMZ to Smack DVD, huh
Russell Simmons wanna pray for me too
I'ma pray for him 'cause he got MeToo'd
Thinkin' what if that happened to me too
Then I'm on E! News

[Chorus]
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
Sometimes I scare myself, myself
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
Sometimes I scare myself, myself

[Verse 2]
Ayy, hospital bed a hundred bands, fuck a watch
Hundred grand'll make your best friends turn to opps
Everybody bringin' my name up a lot
I guess I just turned the clout game up a notch
See, y'all really shocked, but I'm really not
You know how many hoes I took to the titty shop?
If she get the ass with it, that's a 50-pop
I still bring the baddest bitches in the city out
Just a different kind of leader
We could be in North Korea, I could smoke 'em, Wiz Khalifa, ugh
Told my wife I've never seen her
Once I hit it, bye Felicia, that's the way that I'ma leave it up

[Chorus]
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
See, this is why all the bitches fuck with Ye!
Fuck what they talking 'bout!
Sometimes, I scare myself, myself
They take me on meds, off meds—ask yourself
Shit could get menacin', frightenin', find help
Ask your homegirl right now, "Look, you had a shot at Ye?"
Sometimes, I scare myself, myself
You'd drop everything! This why, this why

[Verse 3]
Tweakin', tweakin' off that 2C-B, huh
This is why your bitches fuck with me, huh
Wake up, she gon' end up on TV, huh
She gon' want that thing, won't fuck for free, huh
Someone gonna sign up for that lease, huh
She gon' have the son for deans now
Forward looking, she out at me, huh
Thought they wouldn't make it like their memes, huh
Faces I be making like a memes, huh
She want her shorty to be a meme now
I'ma give them something they can see now
Man, this ain't as bad as it seems, now
Man, it ain't as bad as it seems, huh
They wan happen to me, now
Brother, I been this way since I was knee high
Going Tom Cruise and Charlie Sheen now
My parents said I was a mistake, and a disgrace
Rake rake, fake watch, that's a wrist-grace

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.
