about

25 Now his elder son was in the field: and as he came and drew nigh to the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 And he called one of the servants, and asked what these things meant. 27 And he said unto him, Thy brother is come; and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, because he hath received him safe and sound. Repetition [PROD: D’Artizt]

lyrics

[Kanye West, Intro]
(Interview segment, not reprinted for copyright)

[Verse 1]
Wanted to tell you something important
Something deluxe and potent
The homies told me you won’t get
Nothing if you ain’t touching on
What you puffin' or smokin',
Tokin', takin' or chokin' on:
"Irie, you just a rapper!
Tell us what you been snortin', cause
We just wanna relate to you
Tell us what you been takin', we
Taken all that you taken to
Take it, and we gon' take it too.
Life is so situational,
Simulations of placement, so
Stay in yo situation:
I learn from the way you play and flow."

[Hook]
Rappers do repetition 'cause listeners never listen:
Pastors do praise in rhythm,
Pass you the prayer to give 'em
So when you spit it the message ain’t hidden
Now you forgiven
'cause he
Mastered how to tell a god the words that mean precision.
Yo...

[Verse 2]
Just 'cause yo feet hurt don’t mean you doin' the research:
What’s your epistemology? Research design philosophy?
Honestly we can get on the mic and think we got policies...
Yeah you seen the world in spurts, and I don’t think we the worst
For preaching to the people, but worse, the purpose of rappin':
If people didn’t know they problems, pastors would've went platinum
Creflo should get his jet though if granny don’t wanna let go
The halo she putting over him: none of us really special.
He hurt you over your virtues, I’m just sharing my vices
You droppin' paper for all my failures? I raise my prices
They slaughtered my forefathers for they spices, so how we lost?
You Bleed us like they did Jesus, you squeeze us to see the sauce
Thought we was made in His likeness?
How these men turn to mices
And stammer over my grammar?
I guess that syntax suffices...
We hear the most in our fragments
And feel the fullest in slices;
We straight when we know who crooked
Just live and you’ll be the livest,
Yeah.

I said:
Rappers do repetition cause listeners never listen
Scrub up over the surface to glisten over the glistenin’
We told no money meant no problems but also had a shiny suit
That’s why we put it in the hook so you won’t have to go fishin’
That’s Jesus mission: we follow what we was given
Even if we up and down like the contra to all his Diction
I thought we s'posed to shoot but apparently I been missin'
Move in ways that they don’t understand and cheat the game to win it.

[Hook]
Rappers do repetition cause listeners never listen
But itches always do itchin
If all I did was "b" a little I’d make a killin'
But I’m an a-hole, see me in your k-holes, kissin' ya cognition, like
I love you even though you was born sinnin'
J.Cole the way we power trippin' just to get like the shower drippin'
Wet up like the bull markets or Pippen when the DOW was illin'
Then corona cooled us over, asked us “son, how you feelin?”
Heat it up

Rappers do repetition 'cause listeners never listen
And all you want to do is go hard, but you don't care about our feelings.
So rappers do repetition 'cause listeners never listen
So tell me how is you feeling when you singing these lyrics?
