Otis
Jay-Z Kanye West Lyrics

It makes it easier, easier to bear
Love makes life's struggles more bearable

You won't regret it, no, no
Love is worth the risk of not being reciprocated

Some girls they don't forget it
Some women hold onto their memories of past loves

Love is their own happiness, yeah
For some women, love is the source of true happiness

Sq-sq-sq-squeeze her (sounds so soulful don't you agree?)
Show your love with physical affection

Don't tease her
Treat her with respect and kindness

Never leave her
Commit to love and loyalty

I invented swag
I am credited with starting the trend of swag (style and confidence)

Poppin' bottles, puttin' supermodels in the cab, proof
I live a lavish lifestyle and have proof (supermodels) to show for it

I guess I got my swagger back, truth
I have regained my confidence and coolness

New watch alert, Hublot's
I have just acquired a new and expensive watch brand

Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
I also own two Rolex watches with the large face

Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
I am cruising through the city in my car with my arm out the window

Cock back, snap back
I pull my hat back and snap it into place

See my cut through the holes
My hair is visible through the holes in my hat

Damn Yeezy and Hov
Wow, Kanye and Jay are here

Where the hell ya been?
Where have you guys been, I haven't seen you in a while

Niggas talkin' real reckless, stuntmen
Some people are talking recklessly, trying to pretend they are cool

I adopted these niggas, Phillip Drummond 'em
I have taken these individuals under my wing and mentored them like the character Phillip Drummond from the TV show Diff'rent Strokes

Now I'm bout to make them tuck they whole summer in
I am about to drop something big that will make all other rappers have to pause or retire for the summer

They say I'm crazy, well, I'm 'bout to go dumb again
People think I am crazy, but I am about to show my 'dumb' side again (in a good way)

They ain't see me 'cause I pulled up in my other Benz
People didn't notice me because I showed up in my other (less flashy) Mercedes-Benz

Last week I was in my other other Benz
Just last week, I was driving my other Mercedes-Benz

Throw your diamonds up 'cause we in this bitch another 'gain
Celebrate with me by raising your diamond jewelry, because we are back in the game again

Photo shoot fresh, looking like wealth
I look fresh and successful like I just stepped off of a photoshoot set

I'm 'bout to call the paparazzi on myself
I am living a life that is so fabulous, I could call and invite the paparazzi to take photos of me

Uh, live from the Mercer
I am broadcasting live from the Mercer Hotel in New York City

Run up on Yeezy the wrong way, I might murk ya
If someone threatens Kanye in the wrong way, he might kill them

Flee in the G450 I might surface
If I need to make a quick, flashy escape, I might use my private Gulfstream G450 airplane

Political refugee, asylum can be purchased
I have enough money to buy myself out of any political trouble

Uh, everything's for sale, I got five passports
I can buy anything I want, including alternative passports to enable me to travel freely

I'm never going to jail
I am too rich and powerful to ever be convicted and imprisoned for a crime

I made 'Jesus Walks' I'm never going to Hell
I made a song about religion that was a huge hit, so I know I will go to heaven instead of hell

Couture level flow, it's never going on sale
My rap style is so high-end it cannot be bought or imitated

Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
My rap music is high-quality like the brand Hermes

Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
My lyrics may contain profanity, but I write them eloquently in cursive

I get it custom, you a customer
I create custom music while you are merely a passive listener

You ain't customed to going through customs
You are not used to traveling internationally and going through the process of customs and immigration

You ain't been nowhere, huh?
You have not had many experiences or traveled to many places, have you?

And all the ladies in the house, got 'em showing off
All the women in the building are flaunting their beauty and style

I'm done, I hit ya up mañana
That's enough for now, I will talk to you tomorrow

Welcome to Havana
Let's imagine we are in the vibrant city of Havana

Smoking Cubanos with Castro in cabanas
Let's imagine we are smoking Cuban cigars with the former leader of Cuba, Fidel Castro, in luxurious huts

Viva Mexico, Cubano
Long live Mexico and Cuban culture

Dominicano, all the plugs that I know
I have connections with many people from the Dominican Republic who can supply me with what I need

Driving Benzes, with' no benefits
We are driving Mercedes-Benz cars with no legal driver's licenses or benefits, such as health insurance or a 401(k)

Not bad huh? For some immigrants
This is pretty impressive for people who come from immigrant backgrounds

Build your fences, we diggin' tunnels
If you try to keep us out with physical barriers, we will simply find a way to dig underneath and come through

Can't you see? We gettin' money up under you
You don't realize, but we are amassing a lot of wealth right under your nose

Can't you see the private jets flyin' over you?
You are oblivious to the fact that wealthy people are constantly flying over you in private jets

Maybach bumper sticker read 'What would Hova do?'
The bumper sticker on my Maybach car reads 'What would Jay-Z do?', indicating that I am a role model for people

Jay is chillin', 'Ye is chillin'
Jay-Z and Kanye are both resting and relaxing

What more can I say? We killin' 'em
There's not much else to say except that we are dominating in our profession

Hold up, before we end this campaign
Wait a minute, before we finish performing or promoting ourselves

As you can see, we done bodied the damn lames
You can clearly see that we have crushed or defeated our competitors

Lord, please let them accept the things they can't change
I pray that our competitors will learn to accept their limitations and stop competing with us

And pray that all of their pain be champagne
I hope that our competitors will learn to enjoy their successes, even if it means they come in second to us
