Otis
Jay Z/Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won't regret it, no, no
Some girls they don't forget it
Love is their own happiness, yeah
Sq-sq-sq-squeeze her (sounds so soulful don't you agree?)
Don't tease her
Never leave her
I invented swag
Poppin' bottles, puttin' supermodels in the cab, proof
I guess I got my swagger back, truth
New watch alert, Hublot's
Or the big face Rollie I got two of those
Arm out the window through the city I maneuver slow
Cock back, snap back
See my cut through the holes

Damn Yeezy and Hov
Where the hell ya been?
Niggas talkin' real reckless, stuntmen
I adopted these niggas, Phillip Drummond 'em
Now I'm bout to make them tuck they whole summer in
They say I'm crazy, well, I'm 'bout to go dumb again
They ain't see me 'cause I pulled up in my other Benz
Last week I was in my other other Benz
Throw your diamonds up 'cause we in this bitch another 'gain

Photo shoot fresh, looking like wealth
I'm 'bout to call the paparazzi on myself
Uh, live from the Mercer
Run up on Yeezy the wrong way, I might murk ya
Flee in the G450 I might surface
Political refugee, asylum can be purchased
Uh, everything's for sale, I got five passports
I'm never going to jail

I made "Jesus Walks" I'm never going to Hell
Couture level flow, it's never going on sale
Luxury rap, the Hermes of verses
Sophisticated ignorance, write my curses in cursive
I get it custom, you a customer
You ain't customed to going through customs
You ain't been nowhere, huh?
And all the ladies in the house, got 'em showing off
I'm done, I hit ya up mañana

Welcome to Havana
Smoking Cubanos with Castro in cabanas
Viva Mexico, Cubano
Dominicano, all the plugs that I know
Driving Benzes, with' no benefits
Not bad huh? For some immigrants
Build your fences, we diggin' tunnels
Can't you see? We gettin' money up under you

Can't you see the private jets flyin' over you?
Maybach bumper sticker read "What would Hova do?"
Jay is chillin', 'Ye is chillin'
What more can I say? We killin' 'em
Hold up, before we end this campaign
As you can see, we done bodied the damn lames




Lord, please let them accept the things they can't change
And pray that all of their pain be champagne

Overall Meaning

The first stanza talks about the importance of love in life. It is easier to bear the hardships of life with someone you love. The line "some girls they don't forget it, love is their own happiness" indicates the longing for love and how it can bring happiness to one's life. The next few lines talk about treating your partner with love and respect, and never teasing or leaving them.


The second stanza is all about the two rappers boasting about their success and wealth. They talk about poppin' bottles and putting supermodels in cabs. They claim to have lost their swagger but have now found it again. They talk about their expensive watches and cars, and how they navigate the city slowly, basking in their success. They are proud of their accomplishments and want people to recognize their fame and fortune.


The third and final stanza continues with the boasting and bragging about success. They talk about how they are untouchable and will never go to jail. They have multiple passports and flee in private jets. They even claim to be smoking cigars with Castro in Havana. They are 'killing' the game and are proud of their accomplishments. The final line is a prayer for those who couldn't make it to their level of success, that they find happiness and acceptance in their lives.
