So Appalled
Kanye West Jay-Z Pusha T Prynce Cy Hi Swizz Beatz & RZA Lyrics

One hand in the air, if he don't really care
Showing indifference, not caring

Two hands in the air, if he don't really care
Further emphasizing indifference, not caring

It's like that sometimes, I mean ridiculous
Acknowledging that life can be absurd

It's like that sometimes, the shit ridiculous
Life can be absurd and ridiculous

Middle finger in the air, if you don't really care
Expressing disregard and not caring

Life can be sometimes ridiculous
Life can be absurd and ridiculous

I'm so appalled Spalding ball
Feeling shocked and disgusted, comparing himself to a basketball

Balding Donald Trump, takin' dollars from y'all
Comparing Donald Trump to a balding person taking advantage of others for money

Baby your fired, your girlfriend hired
Mocking the firing and hiring dynamics, expressing dominance

But if you don't mind I'ma keep you on call
Using someone as a backup, keeping them available for personal benefit

We above the law, we don't give a fuck 'bout y'all
Believing to be exempt from consequences and disregarding others

I got dogs that'll chew a fuckin' whole through the wall
Having loyal and powerful allies who can break barriers

But since they all lovers, I need more rubbers
Referring to sexual partners and the need for protection

And if I don't use rubbers, need more covers
If not using protection, then more excuses are needed

Housekeeping, I mean goddamn
Using housekeeping as an expression of frustration

One time, let it be a bad bitch sweepin'
Desiring a beautiful woman to clean up his mess

That know we get O's like cheerios
Referring to making money, earning a lot like Cheerios

That know because they seen us in the videos
Women who desire him due to his appearances in music videos

That know the day that you play me
The day someone underestimates or disrespects him

Will be the same day M.T.v. Play videos
Combining his own importance with the decline of M.T.v.

That was a little joke, voila
Acknowledging the previous line as a playful exaggeration

Praises due to the most high, Allah
Giving credit and appreciation to a higher power

Praises due to the most fly, Prada
Acknowledging luxury and fashion, praising Prada

Baby I'm magic ta-da
Feeling special and magical, like a magician's reveal

Address me as your highness, high as United
Expecting to be treated with utmost respect, playing with the word 'high'

Thirty thousand feet up and you are not invited
Literal and metaphorical distance between him and others, feeling exclusive

Niggas be writin' bullshit like they gotta work
Critiquing others' work as unimportant and trivial

Niggas is goin' through real shit man they outta work
Recognizing that others are dealing with serious problems, emphasizing their struggle

That's why another goddamn dance track gotta hurt
Disliking the popularity of dance tracks that distract from real issues

That's why I rather spit somethin' that gotta purp'
Choosing to rap about something meaningful and purposeful

Champagne wishes, thirty white bitches
Desiring lavish experiences and numerous white women

I mean the shit is fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
Expressing disbelief and absurdity

Five star dishes, different exotic fishes
Enjoying luxurious meals with various exotic types of fish

Man this shit if fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
The extravagance and luxury feels incredibly absurd

How should I begin this? I'm just so offended
Feeling deeply upset and insulted

How am I even mentioned by all these fuckin' beginners?
Questioning why they are even compared to inexperienced artists

I'm so appalled, I might buy the mall
Feeling a strong sense of disgust and considering extreme actions

Just to show niggas how much more I have in store
Demonstrating his wealth and success

I'm fresher than you all, so I don't have to pause
Feeling superior and not needing to take breaks or hold back

All of y'all can suck my balls through my drawers
Expressing a demeaning and dismissive attitude towards others

Dark knight feelin', die you be a hero
Feeling like Batman, questioning the sacrifice of being a hero

Or live long enough to see yourself become a villain
Reflecting on the possibility of turning into a negative or hated figure over time

I went from the favorite, to the most hated
Experiencing a shift in public opinion from being loved to despised

But would you rather be underpaid or overrated?
Questioning if it's better to be undervalued or praised falsely

Moral victories is for minor league coaches
Believing that moral victories are insignificant and only matter in less important situations

And 'Ye already told you we major you cockroaches
Asserting his status and importance, belittling others

Show me where the boats is, Ferrari Testarossas
Asking to be shown the extravagant vehicles, showing a love for luxury

The hammer went and broke so you know I'm more focused
Referring to a gun breaking and using it as a metaphor for being more determined

I lost thirty mill' so spent another thirty
Despite losing money, being willing to spend more

'Cause unlike Hammer thirty million can't hurt me
Comparing his financial losses with MC Hammer's struggles, feeling invulnerable

Fucking insane, the fuck am I saying
Feeling overwhelmed and questioning his own words

Not only am I fly, I'm fucking not playin'
Confident in his style and attitude, being serious

All these little bitches, too big for they britches
Referring to arrogant and overconfident individuals

Burning their little bridges, fucking ridiculous
Destroying relationships and opportunities due to arrogance, expressing absurdity

Success is what you make it
Defining success as individually determined

Take it how it come
Accepting success in whatever form it comes

A half a mill' in twenties like a billion where I'm from
Emphasizing wealth and the perception of money based on location

An arrogant drug dealer the legend I've become
Presenting himself as a highly successful and notorious figure

CNN said I'd be dead by twenty one
Referring to media predictions of his early demise, defying expectations

Blackjack I just pulled in Aces
Feeling lucky and skilled, comparing himself to a winning hand in a card game

You looking at the king in his face
Asserting his dominance and superiority

Everything I dream motherfuckers I'm watchin' it take shape
Watching his dreams become reality, experiencing success

While to you I'm just the young rich nigga that lacks faith
Being misunderstood as someone who lacks belief or conviction

Range Rove leather roof, love war fuck a truce
Enjoying luxury and aggression over peace

Still move a bird like I'm in bed with Mother Goose
Continuing to handle and distribute drugs, referencing the nursery rhyme character

Them hoes comin' in a baker's dozen
Having many women available, playing with the phrase 'baker's dozen'

Claiming they was wit' me when they know they really wasn't
Accusing women of pretending to be with him for his fame and success

I keep the city's best never said she was the brightest
Preferring the company of attractive women without considering their intelligence

So if you had her too it don't effect me in the slightest
Being nonchalant about sharing women with others

I never met a bitch that didn't need a little guidance
Believing that women always require some form of guidance or direction

So I dismiss her past until she disappoints your highness
Ignoring a woman's history until she fails to meet his expectations

I speak the gospel, hostile
Expressing his words as truth and being aggressive

Tony doing time for what he did to nostrils
Referring to someone named Tony who is serving a prison sentence for drug-related offenses

Paranoid mind I'm still under the watchful
Feeling constantly monitored and suspicious

Eye of the law, aspire for more
Having ambitions for greater things despite legal scrutiny

Those kilo's came we give you Bobby Brown jaw
Implying that dealing drugs can result in serious consequences, referring to Bobby Brown's legal troubles

Flaws ain't flaws when it's you that makes the call
Believing that his own mistakes and imperfections are justified and not considered flaws

Flow similar to the legends of the falls
Comparing his rap style to great legends and their legacy

Spillin' I own you all, yeughck!
Feeling dominant and superior, expressing disgust towards others

Cars for the missus
Luxury cars for his significant other

And furs for the mistress
Expensive fur coats for a woman he is involved with

You know that shit is fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
Acknowledging the extravagance and absurdity of his actions

Fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
Emphasizing the absurdity of the situation

Fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
Continuing to emphasize the absurdity

Fuckin' ridiculous, fuckin' ridiculous
Reiterating the absurdity of the situation
