But The Life of Pablo is a better album for the lack of distinction every song on it seems to walk the line between great and intriguingly weird.Įvery post- 808s & Heartbreak Kanye album has a “What the fuck was he thinking?” moment, and TLOP appears to have one every other song - from lines about bleached assholes to soul samples tossed haphazardly onto the end of tracks. You can never go too far when you can’t come back home again.It’s a record that carefully avoids the self-imposed categories of “old Kanye” and “new Kanye” despite the immediate attempts to make that delineation. This prayer’s for everybody that feels like they’re too messed up.įor everyone that feels they’ve said “I’m sorry” too many times. Look at lil Chano from 79th įather, this prayer is for everyone that feels they’re not good enough. Ugh, cause they’ll flip the script on your ass like Wesley and Spike Just throw this at the end if I’m too late for the introĬause I bet that my ex looking back like a pillar of salt Know what God said when he made the first rainbow If they don’t wanna ride I’mma still give them raincoats I’mma make sure that they go where they can’t go That there ain’t one gosh darn part you can’t tweet Let’s make it so free and the bars so hard ![]() I hear you gotta sell it to snatch the Grammy He said let’s do a good ass job with Chance three I met Kanye West, I’m never going to fail I made Sunday Candy, I’m never going to hell Tubman of the underground, come and follow the trail You can feel the lyrics, the spirit coming in braille My daughter look just like Sia, you can’t see her Now they wanna hit me with the woo wap the bam I been this way since Arthur was anteater I mean I fuck with your friends, but damn, Gina I’m moving all my family from Chatham to Zambia ![]() I will field their questions, I will feel your painįoot on the Devil’s neck ’til it drifted Pangaea When they come for you, I will shield your name Hey, cause I know that you’ll make everything alrightĪnd I know that you’ll take good care of your child In short, he is looking to find his inner peace.īecause it makes you feel so strong to save He wants to stop the inner bickering between what’s right and what’s wrong and try to not being controlled by his egotistical self. When The-Dream talks about being safe, he doesn’t mean being protected against his enemies, he means to be protected against himself. – “Holy War” is viewed as a conflict between religions however, among people of faith it’s more commonly used to describe the struggle between one’s faith in God and the temptation of this world. The song was the first in the album and honestly did feature more Chance than Kanye, but Chance’s recent album, Coloring Book, had an opening song called “Music is all we got” and feature more Kanye than Chance. Despite it religious affiliation the song is incredible, each time when the song goes “UH! I’m just havin fun with it” I get goosebumps. The building up to the climax is characterized by the use of biblical phrases and allusions, at time Chance refers to a “pillar of salt”, the word “God” is mentioned many times, diction such as “Pray” “Devil” “Jesus” “Hallelujah” and more further add the theme of religion and gospel to the song. The song beautifully builds up the song to a successful drop and change in tone, a change characterized by a surprise Chance the Rapper dropping bars on the song. It is the first song in Kanye’s most recent album in his roster, Life of Pablo. One of the most memorable songs from Kanyes recent work has to be the song “Ultralight Beam”. ![]()
