Amazing
♫ Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm the reason
Everybody fired up this evening
I'm exhausted
Barely breathing
Holding on to what I believe in
You'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin' (Let's go)
I'm a monster
I'm a killer
I know I'm wrong, yeah
I'm a problem
That'll never
Ever be solved
And no matter what
You'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin' (Let's go)
I'm a monster
I'm a maven
I know this world is changin'
Never gave in
Never gave up
I'm the only thing I'm afraid of
No matter what
You'll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It's amazin', so amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin' (Let's go)
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
I'm amazin'
Yeah I'm all that
If i ain't on my grind
Then what you call that?
Victorious
Yeah we warriors
We make history
Strive for victory
Standing at my podium
I'm trying watch my sodium
Die high blood pressure
You even let the feds get cha!
I'm amazin'
Born on the full moon
I was bred to get in
No spoon
That's why I'm so goose
Summer time, no juice
Big family, small house no rooms
They like oh god!
why you go so hard?
Look what he's been through
He deserves an applause
So amazin', so amazin', so amazin', it's amazin'
