![]() ![]() His struggle with breaking free of the evils that accompany fame has played out in the international spotlight from his stream of consciousness that took place during his Saint Pablo tour in 2016 to his past decisive tweets. Lyric: “I can feel the spirits all around me/I think Prince and Mike was tryna warn me/ They know I got demons all on me/ Devil been tryna make an army”īreakdown: Since “Jesus Walks” (2004), Kanye has referenced the devil’s role in his life. ![]() Could this be loyalty or voluntary disregard? – Lola Jacobs “Wouldn’t Leave” is dedicated to Kim, on which Ye says “told her she could leave me now, but she wouldn’t leave.” Kim must be “in too deep,” to quote Kanye. Lyric: “Told her she could leave me now, but she wouldn’t leave”īreakdown: When the Rhymefest and Kanye tensions broke out, Kim was the first person to say that she’ll always “ ride for her man.” But it sounds like Kanye asked her to dip a few times. Therefore, his frustration takes over creating a boisterous, loud, overbearing caricature of himself that resembles the personality of the star of the classic sitcom, The Jeffersons, George Jefferson. To himself, he feels like his message is so far in the future (like where the cartoon character George Jetson lives), that he has a difficult time conveying it in terms that people understand. Lyric: “Thinking like George Jetson, but sounding like George Jefferson”īreakdown: Like the above bar, this line speaks to Ye’s mixed delivery. Referring to the incident as a “ breakthrough” and not a mental breakdown, West shared that stress and the sport of competition contributed to him facing mental health head-on. Fast forward two years and the father-of-three spoke at length with Charlamagne Tha God about that period. Lyric: “Oh, don’t bring that up, that’s gon’ get me sentimental/ You know I’m sensitive, I got a gentle mental/ Every time something happen, they want me sent to mental/ We had an accident but I cover incidentals”īreakdown: Kanye’s battle with mental illness made headlines in 2016 when the Chicago native endured a nervous breakdown. And while Ye did apologize, it makes for a great line and following bar of “Calm down, you light-skinned!” – XHH Cole was also vocal about his disdain for the gesture in an interview with Angie Martinez, Cole expressed his displeasure. To this, Kanye thanked them, but also posted screenshots of their calls/texts on the Twitter, something that angered many, including label mate, John Legend. From calling Donald Trump his “brother” to wearing the president’s signature Make America Great Again hat, many people close to Ye thought it was necessary to reach out to him and increase his connectivity on these topics. Lyric: “I don’t take advice from anyone less successful than me”īreakdown: During the weeks leading up to his album, Kanye became the ringmaster of a media circus. He prays she has the talent and fortitude to be as successful as he knows she can. Lyric: “I hope she’s like Nicki, I’ll make her a monster.”īreakdown: Like Nicki Minaj, who had her “break out” verse on Kanye’s track, “Monster,” West hopes his daughter has the skill and tenacity the Queens native displayed. Lyric: “Til ni**as have daughters, now they precautious/ Father forgive me, I’m scared of the karma/ ‘Cause now I see women as somethin’ to nurture/ Not somethin’ to conquer”īreakdown: On the final track, West claims the birth of his daughters (North and Chicago West) changed his view of women from items you pick up and discard to actual humans that are keeping this world from falling out of thin air. “Ghost Town” also adds to the list of songs on Ye that captures West at his most transparent. During a 2010 screening of his visual, Runaway, West shared with the crowd that he contemplated suicide, but he “will not give up on life again.” – CA Lyric: “Some day, some day/ Someday I’ll, I will wear a starry crown/ Some day, some day/ Someday I wanna lay down, like God did, on Sunday”īreakdown: By way of PARTYNEXTDOOR and Trade Martin, this song seemingly touches on suicide and an outward struggle with self-love/acceptance. In 2008, West decided to lay bare the things that kept him up at night on 808s and Heartbreaks, a moment that the New York Times described as his “first disruption.” With time, the album became glorified as one of not only Ye’s most vulnerable pieces of work but a watershed moment for artists who may have shied away from confronting their emotions on wax. Lyric: “The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest”īreakdown: The genius term that some bestow upon Ye can be rooted in his most dim moments.
