Mi need dem
Blazin'
Suh mi tek har outta bugah red and put her in a tall skirt
And now she find out what life is really worth
No to X rated
Yo mi tek har outta bugah red and put her in a tall skirt
And now she find out what life is really worth
I am a God
I am a God
I am a God
I am a God
Hurry up with my damn massage
Hurry up with my damn ménage
Get the Porsche out the damn garage
I am a God
Even though I'm a man of God
My whole life in the hand of God
So y'all better quit playing with God
Soon as they like you make 'em unlike you
'Cause kissing people ass is so unlike you
The only rapper compared to Michael
So here's a few hating-ass niggas to fight you
And here's a few snake-ass niggas to bite you
And I don't even wanna hear what some niggas might do
Old niggas mentally still in high school
Since the tight jeans they ain't never liked you
Pink-ass polos with a fucking backpack
But everybody know you brought real rap back
Nobody had swag, man, we the Rat Pack
Virgil, Pyrex, Don C snapback
Ibn diamond, Chi-town shining
Monop' in this bitch, changed the climate
Hop in this bitch to give Saint the garment
Until the day I get struck by lightning
I am a God
So hurry up with my damn massage
In a French-ass restaurant
Hurry up with my damn croissants
I am a God
I am a God
I am a God
I just talked to Jesus
He said, "What up Yeezus?"
I said, "Shit I'm chilling
Trying to stack these millions"
I know he the most high
But I am a close high
Mi casa, su casa
That's our cosa nostra
I am a God
I am a God
I am a God
Ain't no way I'm giving up, I'm a God
The lyrics of the song "I Am A God" by God/Kanye West contain various themes such as arrogance, fame, and power. The first verse refers to God/Kanye West's need for attention and recognition, saying that he doesn't want people to like him, he needs them to. He takes a woman out of poverty and turns her into a high-class lady, teaching her the true value of life.

In the final lines, he talks about his conversation with Jesus and how he sees himself as a close high, almost on the same level as the most high.
Overall, "I Am A God" explores the complex relationship between faith, fame, and ego. It shows how God/Kanye West sees himself as a powerful and influential figure, who wants to create significant change, but also desires attention and recognition for his accomplishments.

My divine persona and talent can only be stopped by an act of God
So hurry up with my damn massage
I reiterate that I demand great service and attention
In a French-ass restaurant
I only dine at the most luxurious of places
Hurry up with my damn croissants
I want even the most trivial of things done quickly for me
I just talked to Jesus
I have a direct line to the divine
He said, "What up Yeezus?"
Even Jesus acknowledges my divine persona
I said, "Shit I'm chilling Trying to stack these millions"
I may be divine, but I still have earthly ambitions and goals
I know he the most high
I recognize Jesus as the supreme being
But I am a close high
But I am a close second to him
Mi casa es su casa
I am benevolent and welcoming to others
That's our costra nostra
I treat my inner circle like family and with utmost loyalty
Ain't no way I'm giving up on my God
I may have earthly desires, but I stay true to my divine faith and purpose
