Lift Yourself
Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The hang ups we have today
Said we need to strive for more liberty
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself up on your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
Lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on
The hang ups we have today
Said we need to strive for more liberty
Lift yourself upon your feet
Lift yourself upon your feet
Lift
Lift your, lift your, lift yourself
Lift, lift your, lift your, lift your, lift your, lift, lift
Hard to see, ooh
The hang ups we have today-ay-ay
But they don't really realize, though
This next verse, this next verse though
These bars
Watch this some shit, go
Poopy-di scoop
Scoop-diddy-whoop
Whoop-di-scoop-di-poop
Poop-di-scoopty
Scoopty-whoop
Whoopity-scoop, whoop-poop
Poop-diddy, whoop-scoop
Poop, poop
Scoop-diddy-whoop
Whoop-diddy-scoop
Whoop-diddy-scoop, poop
At first glance, the lyrics of Kanye West's song "Lift Yourself" may seem to be inspiring and uplifting, but upon closer examination, they actually come across as confusing and nonsensical. The opening lines of the song suggest that there are certain "hang ups" that are holding people back from achieving liberty and that we need to strive for more. However, the rest of the lyrics seem to take a bizarre and unexpected turn as Kanye begins to repeat the phrase "lift yourself upon your feet, let's get it on" over and over again. The repeated use of this line seems almost hypnotic, as though Kanye is trying to drive a specific message home. The song continues to build tension with the repetition of the phrase, before abruptly shifting to a verse filled with odd, stream of consciousness lyrics about poop and scoops, leaving the listener with a sense of bewilderment.
Some fans believe that Kanye's use of nonsensical lyrics in the second half of the song is actually a statement about the state of modern rap music and the tendency for artists to prioritize catchy sounds and meaningless lyrics over deeper ideas and complex sentiments. By intentionally subverting the expectations of the listener, Kanye may be trying to make a point about the importance of pushing the boundaries of what is considered "good" rap music.
Overall, the "Lift Yourself" lyrics remain a point of debate among fans and critics alike, with many pointing to the song as an example of Kanye's willingness to experiment with new sounds and ideas, even if they don't always make sense on the surface.
