Kanye West - On Voting for Trump lyrics

I told you but if I would have voted
I would have voted on Trump

Now, there’s people that I love that did
Vote that voted for Hillary and
I don’t love them no less because
They had their opinion i
Love friends that I have that voted
On Hillary my manager, Scooter Braun
Voted on Hillary one of my management
Team my other manager, Izzy
I’m gonna assume voted on
Hillary everybody said
That if you voted on Trump
You have to go back to like
Montauk or shit and guess what?
That entire team still put together this show
Tonight with people with
Differences of opinion, still put this
Show together tonight and still
Came together and made


This show for y’all they told me, "Ye
Do not say that out loud whatever you do
Do not say that out loud" And I
Just said it! I wanted to
Say that before the election
And they told me, "Do
Not say that out loud whatever you do
Do not say that" That don’t mean that
I don’t think that Black Lives Matter
That don’t mean I don’t think that I’m
A believer in women’s rights that
Don’t mean I don’t believe in gay marriage
That don’t mean that I don’t believe
In these things because that was the
Guy I would have voted for

Run the next song

How that make you think
Though? The fact that I just asked
That undeniable question? That in
Most music situations you have the
Democrats always since the
Beginning of time the Democrats were
Considered to be more liberal
The Democrats were supposed to
Be more futuristic in
Their approach the Democrats were supposed
To have more empathy and
Be more about the people and
That relates directly to
Music and it also relates to
Celebrity and the idea
Of what music does for you democrat is like
Music to your ears or something
Bye your voices do
You believe–what percentage of people
Here–and by the way, i’m
Not setting y’all up
I’m not setting y’all up I’ve
Got no time for bullshit–what I’m saying is
What percentage of people here
Do you think voted for Trump? Do
You think it was two
People here? Do you think maybe
It was 100 people?
Do you think maybe it was 1
000 people out of
The 15, 000 people here? No, I’m asking you
What do you really believe? One
Person two people what do
You really believe? What do
You really believe? What
Do you really believe? What do
You really believe? What
Do you really believe? What
Do you really believe?

I haven’t talked about anybody’s stances on
Anything i haven’t talked about
Any quote that anybody gave from
Either side that’s not
What I’m talking ’bout that’s not
What I’m asking you what
I’m asking you is what you really believe i
Put something that I would bet
On i bet that it
Might be 20 percent or maybe
Even 30 percent of
This very audience right here that
Might have voted for Trump
I bet you 15 percent, 50 percent of them
Would never say that at a Kanye West show
Because of the climate right now and they
Don’t know they might think I’m like, "Oh
They voted for Trump y’all
Should go ahead and…"
It’s the opposite of that people got the
Right to vote for whoever they want
To vote for that’s the right
To vote! That is our right!
I did not vote aww, no
The Saint Pablo ticket sales are going down
Now aww no, t-shirts "Aww nah
You just got out of jail Ye you had to deal
With the Taylor Swift shit for seven
Years now you gonna go say
Some naw, Ye don’t say shit
Just step out" Fuck that
Bro that’s the reality well, Ye
How you gonna expect people to vote
For you if you ain’t even
Vote? I’m concerned not about the
Idea of being president or
The actual job of it i’m concerned
About putting our concept of
How to do the job in a new way and if
No one will do it in that
Way I will take position
In 2020 and do it myself
"Aw you ain’t gonna get
It now because of what you just
Said" It was proof that
It didn’t matter what nobody just
Said! It doesn’t matter!

It might have been a reporter who wanted to
Use this as an opportunity to say, "Oh, this
Rapper" because when they call
Me a rapper they
Try to say that I’m less than thinking
Less than a philosopher but
Rappers are the philosophers
Of our now the rappers all form
A sense of our now
The celebrities are the influencers of
Our now just look
At the president he wasn’t even
In politics and he won!
That shows you not if you
Mad about him winning
But that shows you the level of
Possibility that is out there
If you go and find information
And don’t believe everything
The fucking internet is telling you!
There is possibilities! There’s possibilities
Inside of books there’s possibilities
When you call grandmother
Motherfuckers be on the internet way
More than they calling they
Mother or they grandmother to get
Information that would have
You wrong as fuck like everybody
Knows a couple days ago!
Do you ever want to be blindsided like that?

Don’t trivialize what I was saying
When I talked about
Our president’s approach to the
Campaign when I said it was entertaining i
Don’t think his approach
Was just entertaining, because
That trivializes it
I actually think that his
Approach was absolutely
Genius because it fucking worked! Next song

Oh shit
You threw something at me does anyone
Else wanna throw something at me? But
You know what, I got the power to
Get that guy kicked out, or whatever
Roughed up no stay here what do you
Believe? That’s your opinion
Express your opinion, bro
Express your opinion thank you that’s a woman
Right there saying, "I love you
" after I just said that there was things
That I liked about Trump’s
Campaign that’s not supposed to happen
Right? No! That’s not supposed to
Happen, right? Case in point aw, no well
No i guess we’re not gonna sell out the
Rest of the tour now there’s methods
Nonpolitical methods to speaking that I
Like that I feel were very
Futuristic and that style and
That method of communication has
Proven that it can
Be a politically correct way of
Communication and I fuck
With that you threw something at me! Naw
He wanted me to sign his Yeezy

I don’t say 2020 out of
Disrespect to our president
At all i’m not saying that, "Aw man
That just mean that anybody can win" That’s
Not what I’m saying when I
Say 2020 i’ll just say I got some ideas
About the way that we should connect
Our ideas and we should use opposite parties
That the Republicans, that the Democrats
That everyone that ran that had an idea that
People agreed with should be the collective
Ideas that are used to run the country
And that should mean more so there's
Things that Benjamin Carson believes in that
I believe in i believe that
Benjamin Carson should still be a
Consultant i think that Hillary
Clinton should still be a consultant i
Think that Bill Clinton should
Still be a consultant obama said
I think Obama should
Still be a consultant it’s that, "Oh
I don’t fuck with your principles so now I’m
Not gonna give you no information that
Could help you help all of us"
Make sure this dude that
Got the Yeezy get his Yeezy
Back, specifically hey security, get it back

Man, and you know what also? I’m
Not saying this to diss celebrity
And that all who are particularly on
The Democratic side, that’s cool
I just like i hate the fact that because
I’m a celebrity everybody told me not to
Say that I loved the debates
I loved his approach it’d
Be like white people that’s racist
Running around saying "niggas"
Now if people are racist and
They feel more inspired to say how they feel
Then they exposing themselves
Bro this is what I’m saying it’s already
The beginning of change sometimes things that
You might think are bad have to
Happen in order for change to
Fucking happen sometimes you might
Have to not
Get your way to really understand
What to do in the future to
Be able to get your way
