[Kanye West - On Bonnaroo Music Festival lyrics]

Last time I got here, before I even arrived
They had ‘fuck Kanye’
On the motherfuckin’ port-a-potties
But this year, we gon’ piss on ‘em
On they motherfuckin’ port-a-potties

How many of y'all don't give a
Fuck about what the press say?
It's 2014 college Dropout came out 2004
I want y'all to know
Every time I go to the studio
Every time I do an interview
Every time I make a motherfuckin'
T-shirt, the thing I do
I give it everything I got
And when I talk that
Shit, it's so that you can talk that
Shit if you a fan of me
You a fan of your motherfuckin' self you
Can do something that'll change the world
Look at how they try to make me
Look they try to make me look
Crazy and the people that write that? I
Don't see them performing for 90
000 motherfuckers … I know you seen
Movies and shit jimi Hendrix
John Lennon jim Morrison i know
Y'all seen movies and
Shit but y'all livin' a movie
Right motherfucking now because I
Am the number one motherfucking rock
Star on the planet

You know
I had a meeting with Oprah Winfrey she
Wanted to give me some advice
What she told me was that the corporations
Are scared of me i'm like
'Little ol' me?! Why you scared
Of me?! Because I tell
The kids the truth?! Why
Y'all scared of me?!'
Why they so scared of me? … Little ol' me?'
Because I want peoples' minds to finally be
Free what's the new cool? What's
The new cool? Can
You tell me what's the new cool? Because I
Want to hide behind that i
Need some new barricade
To hide behind i need a new cool
What's the new shit out? What's the new shit
Out with the most commercials at the
Super Bowl? Let's just stop the music and
Play a Bruno Mars song right now
How about that? They told me
I would never play at
The Super Bowl they told me
I could never play
At the Super Bowl not until I'm super
Old not until I'm super old
… They told me I would never
Play at the Super Bowl
They told me I would never
Play at the Super Bowl, at least
Not until I'm super old so I
Think it's time hold up, f k that toast

But I promise y'all tonight, as
I stand here, 37-years-old
This is only the beginning this
Is only the beginning
Because in all honesty
I'm not gonna lie to y'all
Right now, this might not come off as humble
But I'm gonna tell y'all the truth i
Ain't concerned about nobody that's actually
Living i know people get mad at
Me when I compare myself
But that's the only way I can explain
What my aspirations are when I'm talkin'
'bout Walt Disney, when I'm
Talkin' 'bout Howard Hughes
When I'm talkin' 'bout
Henry Ford, when I'm talkin' 'bout Beethoven
When I talk about Mozart, when I talk
About Shakespeare
And they all had their time on this earth and
I'm only 37 and right now
I'm rockin' to 90, 000
Of y'all motherfuckers right now
So I ain't goin'
At anybody on the radio i'm goin'
After Shakespeare i'm goin' after
Walt Disney i'm
Going after Howard Hughes i'm going after
David Stern i'm goin' after
Henry Ford i'm going
After Elon Musk okay, he is living
But he's my boy whether you
Believe it or not
You can only achieve as high as you
Believe you can only achieve as
High as you believe … And just
Like Martin had a dream
And just like Kendrick had a dream i
Believe in everything i believe in anything
You can only believe … I can
Only stand here when I been
Fucked up so many times fucked up so
Many times … And I know
That I ain't perfect but everything I'm
Not makes me everything I am

I came to Bonnaroo six months after my
Mom passed pearl Jam went on
Three hours long i did the Glow
In The Dark show here my
Shit was going on when
The motherfuckin' daylight
Was comin' on they said I
Was runnin' late they blared my motherfuckin'
Tanks, my cryo, my pyro
They wrote 'FUCK KANYE' on
That shit y'all wrote that shit in the
Press wHERE THE PRESS AT? Y'all gonna
Write all these motherfuckers puttin'
They hands up right now? WHERE THE PRESS AT?
WHERE THE PRESS AT? WHERE THE PRESS AT? Man
I'll run that shit this
Is real rock n' roll if you
Ever grew up on real music
The reason why you write that shit
About music? I'm from the South
Side of Chicago i dreamed of R
Kelly giving me a deal

Somebody told me that everybody on the
Plane was coming out here
To Bonnaroo, to come check me
Out, and you know, it humbled me it humbled
Me, and at the same time gave me
Confidence it gave me a quiet
Confidence, a steel confidence
A feeling that it was actually gonna happen
A feeling that it was God's
Plan god's plan god's
Plan, something I could never
Understand, understand, understand
It's all in God's plan god's plan
God's plan god's plan … So
Whether you believe it or not
… the fact that there
Are so many people here tonight
It humbles me it humbles me but not in the
Webster's definition of humility it
Humbles me in a way that gives me strength
To know that it's in God's plan and I
Know I set my goals very high
