I Am a God
Kanye West/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blazin', mi don't want dem
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
No to X rated

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 hands 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 who compared to Michael
So here's a few hating-ass niggas who'll fight you
And here's a few snake-ass niggas to bite you
I don't wanna hear what some niggas might do
Old niggas mentally still in high school
Since the tight jeans they never liked you
Pink-ass Polos with a fucking backpack
But everybody know you brought real rap back
Nobody else had swag, man, we the Rat Pack
Virgil Pyrex, Don C snapback
Ibn diamond, Chi-town shining
Monop' in this bitch, get a change of climate
Hop in this bitch and get the same thing I'm in
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 es su casa
That's our costra nostra
I am a God
I am a God
I am a God





Ain't no way I'm giving up on my God

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kanye West/Justin Vernon's song "I Am A God" are complex and multi-layered, touching on themes of ego, self-aggrandizement, fame, and spirituality. The opening lines of the song, "Blazin', mi don't want dem / Mi need dem," suggest a sense of urgency and desire, perhaps implying that Kanye feels he needs to assert his power and authority over others. This is reinforced by the lines "Suh mi tek har outta bugah red and put her in a tall skirt / And now she find out what life is really worth," which seem to suggest that Kanye has a tendency to manipulate and control others for his own pleasure.


The chorus of the song, "I am a God / I am a God / I am a God," reinforces Kanye's belief in his own divinity and power, while the lines "Hurry up with my damn massage / Hurry up with my damn ménage / Get the Porsche out the damn garage" emphasize his need for luxury and his expectation that others should cater to his every whim. However, despite these grandiose claims, the song also acknowledges Kanye's vulnerability and dependence on a higher power, as seen in the lines "Even though I'm a man of God / My whole life in the hands of God."


The song ends on a bold declaration of faith: "Ain't no way I'm giving up on my God." This suggests that even though Kanye may see himself as a godlike figure, he is still grounded in his belief in a higher power, and recognizes that he is ultimately accountable to something greater than himself.
