Kanye West Lyrics

"Saint Pablo"

(feat. Sampha)

[Kanye West:]

Yeah, 9: 08 L.A. time

Back in the lab and shit

[Kanye West:]

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 knowing I'm in debt

And like my wife said, I still didn't say no

People tryna say I'm going 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 spending

The media said he's way out of control

I just feel like I'm the only one not pretending

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

Grow 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

[Sampha:]

And you're looking at the church in the night sky

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

Are we looking in the church in the night sky

And you wonder where is God in your nightlife

Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky

Father, father, father

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

The night sky, I feel like I'm home, baby

[Kanye West:]

I've been waking the spirits 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 ringing, 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 they truth on how to make a dime

Most black men couldn't balance a cheque-book

But buy a new car, talking 'bout how my neck look?

Well it all looks great

Four hundred years later, we buying our own chains

The light is before us brothers, so the devil working 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 awoken from an enlightened man's dream

Checking Instagram comments to crowd-source 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 praying a out-of-body experience will happen

So the people can see my light, now it's not just rapping

God, I have humbled myself before the court

Drop my ego and 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 carrying me

When I turned on the news and they was burying me

One set of footsteps, you was carrying me

When I was negotiating 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 the stove

But it's better that I stayed at home with my folks

Cause if Jay a billionaire then I'mma never go broke

Only thing I ask is next time I'm on stage we all go

We all go

Not just by myself, looking for niggas like where's Waldo

She got the same shoes as my wife but she copped 'em at Aldo

Modern day MJ with an off-the-wall flow

[Sampha:]

Nightlife, walk all over me

Walk all over me

I'm delivering everything I've ever sent to you, bring

Fly, fly, fly overseas

Fly overseas

Oh, anywhere, everything but in between

[Sampha:]

Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

Oh, you're looking in the church in the night sky

And you wonder where is God in your nightlife

Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky

And you wonder where is God in your nightlife

[Sampha:]

Please face me when I speak

Please say to me something before you leave

You've been treating me like I'm invisible

Now I'm visible to you, oh, the invisible truths

Stay sober

I don't quite understand the games you play

Understand, understand

Understand I'm standing under oath

And I promised I, I wouldn't fall anymore

While I'm crying at the bar

I'm wishing that you saw my scars, man

I'm wishing that you came down here

And stood by me

And look at me like you knew me

But I feel so alone

Like I don't know anyone except the night sky above

[Sampha:]

And you're looking at the church in the night sky

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

Are we looking at the church in the night sky?

And you wonder where is God in your nightlife

Yeah, you're looking at the church in the night sky

Father, father, father

Wondering whether God's gonna say hi

Are we looking at the church in the night sky?

Father, father, father

And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
