Kanye West - Thanksgiving Prayer lyrics

Boom boom boom Westside
Kanye West, Conway West Side
You never noticed that, did you? The, uh
Hello my name is Ye
And this is my super super super
Super super long Thanksgiving prayer
On this Thanksgiving
I'm so thankful for family
My blood family, my fans and our haters
We love you too
On Thanksgiving on Christmas morning
Not the night before or the day
Just the morning
We're thankful for our current civilization
Of eight billion people
Our ancestors and our children
I'm writing this prayer on my
Way back from taking
My mini me to his first football game
Saint got to play catch with
Tom Brady before the game


This is a God's dream my mini me is a mix of
Two of my favorite things
Me and my wife's face
All I think about every day is how
I get my family back together
And how I heal the pain that I've caused
I take accountability for my actions
New word alert, misactions
The one thing that all my successes and
Failures have in common is me
Let's start with A alcohol
I would drink to take the stress
Away and knock the edge off
Drinking affected my health and the
Health of people around me, around me
Because I already had a hair-trigger temper
And this just heightened it b episodes
I went into a manic episode in 2016
And I was placed under heavy medication
Since then I went on and off the medication
Which left me susceptible to other episodes
Which my wife and family and
Fans have had to endure
Ego, my ego has a tendency
To go past the threshold
Of being motivating and entertaining
To just being overbearing
There are ways to show
Confidence without arrogance
Temper, now I know none of y'all
Would ever picture this but
Sometimes I scream, ha
And that screaming might have helped me tell
Off everyone who doubted me in music
But that screaming did not help
Me keep my family together
Religion, self-righteous Christian behavior
When I got saved
It did not immediately make
Me a better person
It made me a self-righteous Christian
Mix that with being rich
Famous and very very very
Very very very attractive
And you got a Molotov cocktail
Ready to be thrown through
The window of anyone who
Ever disagreed with me
I was arrogant with my Jesus
Like I just got me some Jesus at
The Gucci store with a stimulus check
Let's go with politics here good Lord
My wife did not like me wearing the red hat
Being a good wife
She just wanted to protect me and our family
I made me and our family a target
By not aligning with
Hollywood's political stance
And that was hard for our marriage
Then I ran for president
Without proper preparation
And no allies on either side
I embarrassed my wife in the way
I presented information about our
Family during the one and thank
God only press conference
All my dad had to say afterwards was
"Write your speech next time son"
F is for finances i spent money like crazy
I mean, it's the craziest thing I've done
And I've done a lot of crazy things
As the priest of my home I must watch
My own money and secure our finances
This is America
So people don't consider stealing
To be stealing
They just chalk it up to greed
Consumerism and capitalism
I've let people use me
I've had giant entourages people around me
Just to make me feel good about myself
I've had to learn that I
Had to take accountability
We always judge and tell other
People what they should do
But we can only take accountability
For ourselves and our children
This Thanksgiving
I'm thankful for the family that
My wife has given me
I'm thankful for the life that
God has given me
And I'm thankful for your time
Attention and patience in Jesus name, Amen
