“It’s about when you love something so much that people misinterpret that as something bad because you just don’t give a fuck. The truth is that you don’t give a fuck because you love it so much and some people just don’t understand. To me, Kanye, himself, exemplifies this concept. Kanye is slang to...
[Hook]
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
[Verse 1]
She said she want somebody she could take care of
And right then is when we paired up
Pull a chair up and make a space for yourself
You should taste what I felt
It's probable that those on the bottom gonna hold you accountable
It's lonely at the top and it's also hostile
Everyone got their own course full of obstacles
Don't let your heart grow cold like a popsicle
She said she want someone to treat her as an equal
And right then we started speeding towards Reno
Burning rubber in a burgundy Regal
Fly like the dove then dive like an eagle
I'm a 70 deuce, that year was a classic
Buzz got loose and we're here trying to catch it
She said that she was unimpressed
That's when I stood up and did the Kanye West
[Hook]
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
She said she needed a place to feel free
And right then we started building a team
Trying to make a better perfect, a little purpose
The only thing for certain is the sleep disturbance
But ever since people started measuring time
We've been looking for an easy way to settle our mind
Take a load off or take your clothes off
Or shut your eyes and roll straight for the roadblock
She said she needed something that she could blame
And right then is when I offered my name
It's the only thing I've got that'll always remain
So I'mma share it with you, so you can complain too
She said she want to find a cure for death
I know she meant that in the purest sense
But when I finally die, put on your Sunday best
Then throw your hands in the sky like Kanye West
[Hook]
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
Put your hands up like you give a damn and a fuck, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put your hands in the air like you really do care, oh yeah
[Bridge]
You need to prove nothing to me
The time got a price, but the trouble is free
If we gonna struggle I'mma do it comfortably
And live life like I love to breathe
You need to prove nothing to me
The time got a price, but the trouble is free
If we gonna struggle I'mma do it comfortably
And live life like I love to breathe
[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Kanye West was written by Slug.
Kanye West was produced by Ant.
Atmosphere released Kanye West on Mon May 05 2014.
Slug told Noisey his opinion of Kanye West:
I think it’s fortunate that right now we have a pop icon that is not afraid to lose his status. And that’s rare. If you look at the pop icons we’ve had over the last 20 years, they’ve all been people that have had handlers and stylists that help them keep...
That’s the song about the courtship of wife. We got married in 2010… and man, we’ve been dating since the dawn of time. We’re like Adam and Eve.
That song is about how volatile some of that courtship actually was. We had to go through world wars and so much poor decision making to reach the point of...
