Kanye West - The Ellen Show: On Having More Kids lyrics

Ellen: How do you think
Marriage has changed you, if it has?

Kanye: I've definitely learned
How to compromise
More which is something you have
To understand when you partner with
People in business you know, you can't -

Ellen: Beautiful

Kanye: And I've learned how to
Shut up more and, um, i've yeah
I think -I think I'm a
Better human being, you know, because of her
And because of my daughter and
I have, you know, always someone to think
About going home to and, you know
Something for me to, you know
Not only be brave for what I
Wanna do for humanity but
Also to be more protective of
Myself for my family too
Cause there's things I've done in
The past that were
Considered negative, but I was
Really, you know
Jumping in front of the tank for
Other people or for culture in a
Way so now I always have to have that in my
Mind, that I have, like
A family that I have to protect too

Ellen: Mm hmm yeah
And I do see that change in you i
See you - And you are
Calmer, I think you know, you
Don't seem, like, uh like
Uhangry or- you know? You know what
I mean? And I don't know
If it was even anger
But it was just the way
That you were getting all
Of your emotions out and now
I think your emotions
Are grounded in a way that they come out
In what you said and protection and love
And -and -they're going - they're channeled
In a different way
Kanye: I think I was, like
Going through now, like
My version of my terrible
Twos my -my daughter
She wants to express herself
But she just doesn't
Have the words for it and for me
There's so many things I wanna do with
Film, with clothing
And I just didn't have the
Words or the resources
Or the backing or the perception that I could
Do it, being that I was
A rapper or, you know
All these things and now, because
Of this Adidas deal
They allowed me a little
Bit of oxygen because
What you have to understand
- The difference between
You know, what people give
You about celebrity, the idea of
Money versus creativity there's no amount
Of money that someone
Can give you to make you not be creative
If you were born to create so a lot
Of times people try to block
You, block your creativity, control you with
Money and Adidas allowed me to
Make my whole clothing line
Which I wanted to do
And it was just like a little
Bit of oxygen you guys last
Year, two years ago
Three -whatever you guys were seeing
Someone being suffocated by a
Perception being suffocated by people in
A position that could
Blatantly see like, "Wow
The "Yeezys" did really good he
Was this influential all those
Albums did this but we're not gonna give him
A shot in something else" And there's
A lot of people who, like
Were really calm about that
But the definition of
Crazy is trying to do the same
Thing and expecting a different result so I
Tried something different over the past
Couple years and I actually got some
Really good results from it too, so

Ellen: Well put well put and
That is true i mean, i
Think we all try to express
Ourselves and you do
You keep doing the same thing
And saying the same
Thing and saying the same
Thing it doesn't get
The result you want until you try a different
Way of expressing yourself or whatever it is
And then you get the
Result because you've shifted
We have to take a break and
Then we're gonna show the world
Premiere of your new video
Which I absolutely love i
Love this song so much you actually played
It for me in our living room
And I just was blown away
How beautiful the song is

Cut

Ellen: So, uh, more kids?

Kanye: yeah, we're trying

Ellen: Really?

Kanye: yeah, yeah

Ellen: I thought I'd slip that in there
I mean, that baby is so adorable
And, I mean, she is precious she's so
- And smart as can be, right?

Kanye: Mm hmm

Ellen: yeah, she's - Oh
Look at that so you're gonna
Have more? How many
Do you want, like a bunch? Like
A Brad and Angie bunch? Or, uh -

Kanye: I just want whatever Kim wants
Ellen: Wow um that's -that's a good answer
Whether it's true or not and what
Is the name of the CD?

Kanye: I don't know yet we're
Still trying to find
It trying to find the vibe you know, this
Transition from what I felt
When I did "Yeezus"
To what I feel now, and, you know
We're just creating so we
Haven't found it yet

Ellen: Okay what about "Ellen's My Friend"?

Kanye: yeah i think that's pretty good

Ellen: Okay, think about that
