[Kanye West, Sampha - Saint Pablo lyrics]
Back in the lab and shit
My wife said, I can't say no to nobody
And at this rate, we gon' both die broke
Got friends that ask me for
Money knowin' I'm in debt
And like my wife said, I still didn't say no
People tryna say I'm goin' crazy on Twitter
My friends' best advice was to stay low
I guess it's hard to decipher
All of the bills
Especially when you got family
Members on payroll
The media said it was outlandish spendin'
The media said he's way out of control
I just feel like I'm the
Only one not pretendin'
I'm not out of control
I'm just not in their control
I know I'm the most influential
That TIME cover was just confirmation
This generation's closest thing to Einstein
So don't worry about me, I'm fine
I can see a thousand years
From now in real life
Skate on the paradigm and shift
It when I feel like
Troll conventional thought
Don't need to question
I know it's antiquated so
Sometimes I get aggressive
Thank God for Jay Electra
He down with the mission
Did it with no permission
On our own conditions
Most blacks with money have
Been beaten to submission
Yeezy with the big house
Did it way different
Never listen to Hollywood producers
Don't stare at money too long, it's Medusa
The ultimate Gemini has survived
I wasn't supposed to make it past 25
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
Oh, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
Yeah, I feel like I'm home, yeah, yeah
I've been wakin' the spirit's of
Millions more to come
A million illegally downloaded my
Truth over the drums
I believe in the children
Listen to the kids, bro
If the phone ringin', go and get your kids
Ho brother Don Muhammad told the
Minister about the presentation
He sat back and smiled
Black on black lies is worse
Than black on black crime
The Jews share their truth on
How to make a dime
Most black men couldn't balance a checkbook
But buy a new car, talkin' 'bout
"How my neck look?" well, it all looks great
Four hundred years later
We buyin' our own chains
The light is before us brothers
So the devil workin' hard
Real family stick together and
See through the mirage the smokescreens
Perceptions of false reality
Who the real owner if your
Boss gets a salary? I am one with the people
I am one with the people (Real)
I've been woken from enlightened man's dream
Checkin' Instagram comments to
Crowdsource my self-esteem
Let me not say too much or do too much
'Cause if I'm up way too much
I'm out of touch i'm prayin' a out-of-body
Experience will happen
So the people can see my light
Now it's not just rappin'
God, I have humbled myself before the court
Drop my ego when confidence
Was my last resort
I know, I know He got a plan
I know I'm on Your beams
One set of footsteps, You was carryin' me
When I turned on the news
And they was buryin' me
One set of footsteps, You was carryin' me
When I was negotiatin' with Apple
It was Larry and me
Told Tim Cook to call me, I was scary to see
I would've took a hundred million
And gave twenty to Hov
I heard it's the way they did it
When we only had a stove
But it's better that I stayed
At home with my folks
'Cause if Jay a billionaire then
I'ma never go broke
Only thing I ask is next time
I'm on stage we all go we all go
Not just by myself
Lookin' for niggas like where's Waldo
She got the same shoes as my wife
But she copped 'em at Aldo
Modern day MJ, with a off-the-wall flow
Nightlife, walk all over me walk all over me
I'm deliverin' everything I've ever
Sent that you'll bring
Fly, fly, fly overseas fly overseas
Oh, anywhere, everything but in between
Oh, yeah
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
Oh, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
Oh, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
Please face me when I speak
Please say to me somethin' before you leave
You've been treatin' me like I'm invisible
Now I'm visible to you
Oh, the invisible truth stay sober
I can't quite understand the games you play
Understand, understand
Understand I'm standin' under oath
And I promised I, I wouldn't fall anymore
But I'm cryin' at the bar
I'm wishin' that you saw my scars, man
I'm wishin' that you came down
Here and stood by me
And looked at me like you knew me
But I feel so alone
Like I don't know anyone except
The night sky above
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
Oh, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
Yeah, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
Wonderin' whether God's gonna say "Hi!"
Oh, you're lookin' at the church
In the night sky
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
