[Intro: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Yeah-yeah, 9:08 L.A. time
~#**************#~
Back in the lab and shit
~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
My wife said I cant say no to nobody
~#**************#~
And at this rate, we gon both die broke
~#**************#~
Got friends that ask me for money knowin Im in debt
~#**************#~
And like my wife said, I still didnt say no
~#**************#~
People tryna say Im goin crazy on Twitter
~#**************#~
My friends best advice was to stay low
~#**************#~
I guess its 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 hes way out of control
~#**************#~
I just feel like Im the only one not pretendin
~#**************#~
Im not out of control, Im just not in their control
~#**************#~
I know Im the most influential
~#**************#~
That TIME cover was just confirmation
~#**************#~
This generations closest thing to Einstein
~#**************#~
So dont worry about me, Im 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, dont need to question
~#**************#~
I know its 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
~#**************#~
Dont stare at money too long, its Medusa
~#**************#~
The ultimate Gemini has survived
~#**************#~
I wasnt supposed to make it past 25
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Sampha]
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
Oh, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
Yeah, I feel like Im home, yeah, yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
~#**************#~
Ive 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 couldnt 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!)
~#**************#~
Ive been woken from enlightened mans dream
~#**************#~
Checkin Instagram comments to crowdsource my self-esteem
~#**************#~
Let me not say too much or do too much
~#**************#~
‘Cause if Im up way too much, Im out of touch
~#**************#~
Im prayin a out-of-body experience will happen
~#**************#~
So the people can see my light, now its not just rappin
~#**************#~
God, I have humbled myself before the court
~#**************#~
Drop my ego when confidence was my last resort
~#**************#~
I know, I know He got a plan, I know Im 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 wouldve took a hundred million and gave twenty to Hov
~#**************#~
I heard its the way they did it when we only had a stove
~#**************#~
But its better that I stayed at home with my folks
~#**************#~
‘Cause if Jay a billionaire then Ima never go broke
~#**************#~
Only thing I ask is next time Im on stage we all go
~#**************#~
We all go
~#**************#~
Not just by myself, lookin for niggas like wheres 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
~#**************#~
Im deliverin everything Ive ever sent that youll bring
~#**************#~
Fly, fly, fly overseas
~#**************#~
Fly overseas
~#**************#~
Oh, anywhere, everything but in between
~#**************#~
Oh, yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Sampha]
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
Oh, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
~#**************#~
Oh, youre 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
~#**************#~
Youve been treatin me like Im invisible, now Im visible to you
~#**************#~
Oh, the invisible truth stay sober
~#**************#~
I cant quite understand the games you play
~#**************#~
Understand, understand, understand Im standin under oath
~#**************#~
And I promised I, I wouldnt fall anymore
~#**************#~
But Im cryin at the bar
~#**************#~
Im wishin that you saw my scars, man
~#**************#~
Im 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 dont know anyone except the night sky above
~#**************#~
[Chorus: Sampha]
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
Oh, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
~#**************#~
Yeah, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
~#**************#~
Wonderin whether Gods gonna say hi
~#**************#~
Oh, youre lookin at the church in the night sky
~#**************#~
And you wonder where is God in your nightlife
~#**************#~
(Father, Father, Father in the night sky)
