Kanye West, Lisa Wainwright, Janet Byrne Neiman, Rhona Hoffman, Douglas Druick - SAIC Commencement Lecture lyrics

I am a pop artist so my medium is
Public opinion and the world is my canvas

'I’m sorry' is something that you can
Use a lot it gives
You the opportunity to give your
Opinion, apologize for it
And give your opinion again
People say 'You shouldn't
Have to be sorry for your opinions '
George Bush has some very
Cool self portrait's
I didn't know he was an artist!

This honor is going to
Make your lives easier
For two reasons: You don’t have to defend
Me as much! And I’m going to
Make all of our lives easier it is
These Floyd Mayweather belts that are
Needed to prove what I have
Been saying my entire
Life – whether it was the sign of Paul
McCartney grabbing me and saying, 'It's OK
He doesn't
Bite, ' or the New York Times cover
Or the Time
(magazine) most-influential cover and now
A doctorate at the
School of the Art institute of Chicago

When I was giving a lecture at
Oxford, I brought up this school
Because when i went on a mission to create
In other spaces – apparel, film
Performance – it would have been easier
To have just said I had a degree at the Art
Institute of Chicago! Thank you

Questions from the crowd:
Can I give you a hug? When are you
Going to open a school? What does
Chicago mean to you? Can we hang out
Later? Do you wanna build a snowman?

I say I wanna build a snowman
Because I want Bob Iger, the head of
Disney, to invest in my ideas not
One idea, not a good idea
Or even a bad idea a series of them but
Just in my ideasi feel Disney should have
An art fund that completely
Supports all of the
Artists andi feel there should
Be a responsibility
