On “Remote Control,” Kanye enlists his “Highlights” collaborator Young Thug for a reflection on his faith in God.
While early demos of the track saw Kanye poking fun at how futuristic society has become in 2021–referencing hover crafts and iPhones as “remote controls”–this version explores God’s om...
[Intro: Kanye West]
Please don't ask again, who's up in the van?
They my only fans
I was in my hovercraft, had another laugh
How you roll with them when you know I'm him?
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Got it on remote control
Got it on remote control
Got it on remote control, like a CEO
I thought you should know
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
On my Instagram, it get outta hand
Why you so mad?
[Interlude]
[Pre-Chorus: Kanye West]
He got it on remote control, like a CEO
Feelin' like the man, feelin' like the man
I was in my hovercraft, floatin' down the path
God just grabbed my hand, had a bigger plan
[Chorus: Kanye West & Young Thug]
He got this on remote control
He got it on remote control
'Trol
Woah-woah, woah-woah
[Verse 2: Young Thug]
I just, oh, I owe you a load
I live on the Titanic (Oh), I can rock your boat (Spider)
Hoppin' out the brand new Rolls (Skrrt, skrrt)
Hoppin' out the brand new Rolls (Skrrt, skrrt)
Jesus sent me brand new clothes (Skrrt, skrrt)
Wrist still thirty-two below (Yeah)
I want my mob ties to shine (Hah)
I could caress your mind with the right time (Time)
Don't you give your love up, this is the right sign (Sign), sign (Yeah, yeah)
I treat you lovely and righteous and kind (Hah)
And we'll be lastin' with another 'til we die (Yeah)
I'd give you kids at the drop of a dime (Dime)
Oh-woah, told the **** fold my clothes (Fold my clothes)
Take it to the light like a strobe (Yeah)
Taking me to court like O (Taking me to court like OJ)
Paparazzi sleep at my door
I just thought that you should know (Sleep at my door)
Pockets frozen like the North Pole
Don't you freeze up on a pole
[Pre-Chorus: Young Thug]
He got this on remote control like a sink in gold
He got it, no fight, no more meds, twilight in the game
He got it on my hover craft, have another laugh
Pop on a handstand, twilight in the man
[Chorus: Young Thug & Kanye West]
He got it on remote control
He got it on remote control
He got it on remote control, like that's to know
Should know
[Outro: Tony Halstead as The Globglogabgalab]
Ooh, ha-ha-ha, mmh, splendid
Simply delicious, oh, ha-ha-ha
I am the Glob-glo-gab-galab
The shwabble-dabble-wabble-gabble flibba blabba blab

During the second live performance of the album, Kanye premiered a version of the song still with the mumbled lyrics, but this tim...
