BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Kanye West - Say You Will (Kid Optimism Remix)
- [Verse]
- Welcome to the first chapter
- You haven't missed a thing, as I slowly gather
- Pieces of information linked, but currently scattered
- I wrote some notes on stones with other stones shattered
- Most of your questions I cannot answer
- This prehistoric era doesn't have a lead to what becomes after
- I know where it starts, but where does it end?
- While I scramble to figure it out, I represent,
- A new meaning of the word, life
- We don't live just to make it, we live to see the light
- Take the wrongs, make them all right
- Never focus on the past life
- Becoming someone you don't even recognize
- Due to a new and improved self with your own advice
- To never back down and win every fight
- Nothing matters on the other side
- 23, still with a dream, yet to become successful
- Now that I'm older, ambition is on a different level
- Stared down the road, then took the one with the most pebbles
- It ain't nothing, I promise I'll make it more suspenseful
- Got nothing but a pocket full of gravel
- Yet to cash it in for gold, the story will unravel
- My book won't have a cover by the time it is completed
- How will you know where I started if you don't ever read it?
- If you battle with me, then say you will
- Read every page, the testimony I spill
- My will and testament, open up every element
- Find messages with relevance, perpetual resonance
- Taste the salt from your tears
- Swallow them in remembrance of me and all of my years
- Even now that I'm livin', you don't need my permission
- I'm working with the scraps I've been given
- I am my newest edition
- Life, I'm getting a better taste of it
- We don't know what death is until we come face to face with it
- I'm still young, so it shouldn't even be discussed
- That's exactly what they want to put me in a rut
- So I would spend the rest of my time digging my grave
- Society, you STILL haven't made me a slave!
- I'm low key defying the odds
- Because I'm underground, heading north of the rocks
- Am I a classic? In 10 years, will I still matter?
- Am I a Grammy? Will I still exist to you forever?
- I try to focus on the now, but I overthink
- And overthinking can put you out on the brink
- While one man’s trash is another man’s treasure,
- One man's pain is another man's pleasure
- Taking from the poor, bathing in your own cheddar
- Feeding off the hurt, thinking, "Now I feel better."
- Put yourself in another's shoes for once
- You ain't nothing to a brotha who eats goons for lunch
- You're only taking the plunge, all I smell is disgust
- You're a first round pick that turned into a bust
- You need to see the dark side of you in the mirror
- So you see how ugly it is, your inner grew bitter
- And now it shows on the outside
- You were about to let it slide right into your demise
- The death of your innocence, no lie
- They throw away the rotten piece of the pie
- "I never meant to make your daughter cry."
- You should've thought of it first hand, now pay the price
