“True Love” sees Kanye West and the late XXXTENTACION singing about the complicated nature of love and their struggles to keep their relationships alive on a beat reminiscent of Ye’s magnum opus, “Runaway.”
A demo of the song was previewed on February 22, 2022, as the opener of the Miami listening...
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION]
True love shouldn't be this complicated
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
True love shouldn't be this complicated
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
[Bridge: Kanye West]
No hard feelings, but these feelings harder
No-no hard feelings, but these feelings harder
No-no hard feelings, but these feelings harder
[Verse: Kanye West]
Wait, when you see the kids? I'll see y'all tomorrow
Wait, when the sun set? I see y'all tomorrow
Wait, when I pick 'em up, I feel like they borrowed
When I gotta return them, scan 'em like a bar code
Wait, no hard feelings, but these feelings hard though
Wait, who got the kids in those "What are thosе?"
Wait, why they can't wear Yeezys with the cargos?
Y'all know Nikе don't like me, y'all take it too far, though
At least have 'em in some Mike's, he played for Chicago
I only see three kids, who watchin' Chicago?
And you know all the nannies they're Danny Nesbrasco
Let the kids dig a tunnel to my house like Chapo
Only neighbor in the hood with a door they can knock on
I leave the light on
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION & Kanye West]
True love shouldn't be this complicated
(Daddy's not gone, you see the light on)
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
(Daddy's at home, tell Gekyume)
True love shouldn't be this complicated
(Daddy's not gone, tell Gekyume)
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
(Daddy's at home)
[Post-Chorus: XXXTENTACION]
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah (Love)
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
Oh, woah, oh, woah, oh, woah
[Bridge: Kanye West]
No hard feelings, but these feelings harder
No-no hard feelings, but these feelings harder
No hard feelings, but these feelings harder
[Chorus: XXXTENTACION]
True love shouldn't be this complicated
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
True love shouldn't be this complicated
I thought I'd die in your arms, I thought I'd die in your—
