[Flame] 🔥 Kanye West - Saint Pablo Lyrics
[Intro: Kanye West]
 Yeah, 9:08 L.A. time
 Back in the lab and shit
[Verse 1: 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 knowin’ I’m in debt
 And like my wife said, I still didn’t say no
 People tryna say I’m goin’ 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 spendin’
 The media said he’s way out of control
 I just feel like I’m the only one not pretendin’
 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
 Troll 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
[Chorus: Sampha]
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 Oh, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 (Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 Yeah, I feel like I’m home, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
 I’ve been wakin’ 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 ringin’, 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 their truth on how to make a dime
 Most black men couldn’t balance a checkbook
 But buy a new car, talkin’ ’bout, “How my neck look?”
 Well, it all looks great
 Four hundred years later, we buyin’ our own chains
 The light is before us brothers, so the devil workin’ 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 been woken from enlightened man’s dream
 Checkin’ Instagram comments to crowdsource 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 prayin’ a out-of-body experience will happen
 So the people can see my light, now it’s not just rappin’
 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 carryin’ me
 When I turned on the news and they was buryin’ me
 One set of footsteps, You was carryin’ me
 When I was negotiatin’ 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 a stove
 But it’s better that I stayed at home with my folks
 ‘Cause if Jay a billionaire then I’ma never go broke
 Only thing I ask is next time I’m on stage we all go
 We all go
 Not just by myself, lookin’ for niggas like where’s Waldo
 She got the same shoes as my wife but she copped ’em at Aldo
 Modern-day MJ, with a off-the-wall flow
[Bridge: Sampha]
 Nightlife, walk all over me
 Walk all over me
 I’m deliverin’ everything I’ve ever sent that you’ll bring
 Fly, fly, fly overseas
 Fly overseas
 Oh, anywhere, everything but in between
 Oh, yeah
[Chorus: Sampha]
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 Oh, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 (Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
 Oh, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
 (Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
[Verse 3: Sampha]
 Please face me when I speak
 Please say to me somethin’ before you leave
 You’ve been treatin’ me like I’m invisible, now I’m visible to you
 Oh, the invisible truth stay sober
 I can’t quite understand the games you play
 Understand, understand, understand I’m standin’ under oath
 And I promised I, I wouldn’t fall anymore
 But I’m cryin’ at the bar
 I’m wishin’ that you saw my scars, man
 I’m wishin’ that you came down here and stood by me
 And looked at me like you knew me
 But I feel so alone
 Like I don’t know anyone except the night sky above
[Chorus: Sampha]
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 Oh, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
 Yeah, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 (Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
 Wonderin’ whether God’s gonna say hi
 Oh, you’re lookin’ at the church in the night sky
 And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
 (Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
