Kanye’s intro to his third album, Graduation, is a wake-up call to himself and the world. It also gives Kanye a chance to show off his polished lyrical abilities.
The song is part of a larger metaphor: The album Graduation is Kanye’s “graduation” in the rap game. “Good Morning” is told as if Kanye...

[Intro: Kanye West]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Wake up, Mr. West, Mr. West
Mr. Fresh, Mr. By Himself, he's so impressed
I mean, damn, did you even see the test?
You got D's, motherfucker, D's, Rosie Perez
And yer ass barely passed any and every class
Lookin' at every ass, cheated on every test
I guess, this is my dissertation
Homie, this shit is basic, welcome to Graduation
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Good mornin', on this day we become legendary
Everythin' we dreamed of
I'm like the fly Malcolm X, buy any jeans necessary
Detroit Red cleaned up
From the streets to the league, from an eighth to a key
But you graduate when you make it up outta the streets
From the moments of pain, look how far we done came
Haters sayin' you changed, now you doin' your thing
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Good mornin'
Good mornin'
Good mornin' and—
Good mornin'
[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Good mornin' and look at the valedictorian
Scared of the future while I hop in the DeLorean
Scared to face the world, complacent career student
Some people graduate, but be still stupid
They tell you, "Read this, eat this, don't look around
Just peep this, preach this, teach us, Jesus"
Okay, look up now, they done stole yo' streetness
After all of that, you received this
[Chorus: Kanye West & JAY-Z]
Good mornin'
Hustlers, that's if you're still livin', get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good mornin'
Hustlers, that's if you're still livin', get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good mornin'
Hustlers, that's if you're still livin', get on down
Every time that we hear them
Good mornin'
Hustlers, that's if you're still livin', get on down
[Outro: JAY-Z]
Get on down
Get— Get on down
Get on down
Get— Get on down
