Kanye West
Wouldn’t Leave (Demo)
Lyrics from Notebook

[Verse]
I promise this
I'ma protect 'em like Obama kids
Damn, I'm my mama kid
'Cause that's exactly what my mama did
She...

Lyrics from Snippet

[Verse]
...kept all the promises
That's not where the problem is
Too many feelings in the open air
Wonderin' if anybody cares out there
I use the world as my therapist
Rap about my problems and struggles make for good songs
But can't nobody solve 'em
I know my pain was put on me to entertain
Ideas get exchanged, I get a little change
I brought a little chain with or without the famе
I literally felt the samе, how you gon' tell me I should be ashamed
All the talk about Bitcoins, it's been annoying
Some people only hang around when I'm employin' (And I know you wouldn't leave)
Threw the Vanessa Beecroft sculpture in the crib near
I needed the negative space for it
More negative controversy, but not gon' lie, that's what pays for it
I'ma always say something wrong, just wait for it
And at that moment you kill me and spread hate for it
To the moment I was in UCLA for it
I thought I was made for it, thought I could take anything
Knew they thought they would never leave
The thing that breaks the whole tradition
Whether it's bling-bling, or cars, or loads of bitches
Our flows is different like Narcos to Simpsons
N***as wanna make my emojis black, but what's blacker than a Simpson
O. J., OK

Lyrics from Notebook

[Verse]
See, that's my roll men
I was always trolling
Wore a bear head just to piss my label mates off
I always didn't fit in, then started to do it on purpose
Was I really different or being on surface?
Was rapping really method acting connected to bigger purpose?
I seem to destroy everything I built on the pursuit of perfect
Happiness is accepting everything won't be perfect
And the worst parts of this movie called life gon' be worth it
When n***as act phony, I did this to me
When n***as backstabbed me, I directed that movie
All the signs is in front of you
Just a matter of what you wanna choose wisely and who you take advice from
