DONDA
Kanye West Lyrics
There can never really be justice on stolen land
Are you really for peace and equality?
Or when my car is hooked up know you wanna follow me
Your laws are minimal
'Cause you won't even think about looking at the real criminal
This has got to cease
'Cause we be getting hype to the sound of the police
Now here's one little truth, open your eye
While you're checking out the boombox
Check out the exercise, take the word overseer
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer, yeah
Officer from overseer
You need a little clarity? Check out the similarity
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off patrolling all the nation
The overseer could stop you from what you're doing
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuing
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back he had the right to kill
The officer had the right to arrest
And if you fight back, he'll put a whole in your chest, woop
They both ride horses
"After four hundred years", says KRS-One
"I have no choices"
Can I hear me a little bit louder?
They will overcome
The Devil is using you, confusing you
Our job is to understand who is who
Righteous indignation in this nation
We gon' start a revolution in this basement
And at the end of the day it's truly restless
Y'all had y'all statistics and all them goofy questions
Y'all had y'all fake leaders don't worry we got it
And plus it's only twenty-one days to break a habit
Mama I need you to tuck me in
I done made some mistakes and they rubbed it in (boy)
I know you and grandma had enough of them (boy)
Why I gotta be so stubborn then? (boy)
I'm doin' this one for y'all
So we can end racism once and for all
How many prisons they gon' make? (all)
Watch the safe, one hand wash the other
Both hands wash the face

“Donda” is the title-track of Kanye West’s tenth studio album Donda, and it serves as more of an interlude on the record, allowing room for Kanye’s late mother Donda West to continue her talkings about Kanye following the intense “Heaven and Hell”. The song features The World Famous Tony Williams, who does the chorus, and Stalone, who helps with the intro and the background vocals.
The track was played at multiple public listening parties for the album, which happened in Las Vegas and Atlanta.

The track was played at multiple public listening parties for the album, which happened in Las Vegas and Atlanta. The major difference between the live song’s version and one released on the album is that a verse featuring Pusha T trading bars with Kanye was removed. The verse was based off of a reference track Pusha had recorded for Kanye, but the words were edited to sound like a conversation.
Even though this song is titled “Donda”, another track of the same name was recorded and intended to be on the original version of the album.

Lyrics
[Intro: Kanye West with Stalone]
Forever, yeah
Can you hear me? Yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
Glory, glory, glory, glory
[Spoken Word: Donda West, Kanye West, Kanye West & Stalone]
It feels good to be home
And to all of you, I thank you so much for your support
For your support of me for so many years
And more importantly, for the work you continue to do
What do you want me to talk about?
Well, he said something that was a little bit dangerous
He told me I could talk about anything I wanted to
And you know, I am my son's mother
The man I describe in the introduction as being so decidedly different
My son (When you're runnin' outta timе and you're not outta time)
And what made thе project extra special to me is
I got a chance to share not only what he has meant to me
But what he has meant to a generation (Change the time)
As one writer said, we came from somewhere
Not just from the wombs of our mothers and the seeds of our fathers
But from a long line of generations who came before us
[Chorus: The World Famous Tony Williams & Sunday Service Choir]
It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)
It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)
[Outro: Kanye West & Stalone, Donda West]
Forever, yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
What did I teach him? (Glory)
And why Kanye ain't scared?
zeranzeran
I'd rather deal with the shame than take the weight of the lie
Every time we talk I just wait for the lies
Every time I get the food, I just wait for the flies
Look, just send your prayers up, they'll be waitin' in the skies
My, my, my, Miss American Pie
Was a hero after Katrina but that levee went dry
Mom met my dad back in '75
Two years later, the chosen has arrived
Holy, Holy, Holy Father
Hold me in an ocean worth of Holy Water
And David's slingshot, hope it throws you farther
You brought church to stadiums built for only soccer
When the world built on lies, the truth is a threat
Faith over the fortune, it kept you outta debt
It's snakes in money pits that you ain't found yet
Crooks behind the scene like, "He ain't drown yet?"
Rain bills from the ranch 'til the whole town wet
God's grace rains down, that's the holy fountain
Got twelve thousand acres full of holy mountains
See, you almost didn't make it, who are you without Him?
Holy, Holy, Holy Father, hold me in a ocean the size of Holy Water
Man, if plan A worked, you wouldn't know your daughter
For every tear you cried in South Carolina
A Sleepy Dude
[Donda West]
What did I teach him
And why Kanye ain’t scared
[Kanye]
Id rather deal with the shame
Than take the weight of the lie
Every time we talk,I just wait for the lies
Every time I get the food I just wait for the flies
[Pusha]
Look to sing your prayers up, they’ll be waiting in the sky
[Kanye]
My my my, Miss American Pie
[Pusha T]
Was a hero after Katrina but that levee went dry
[Kanye]
Mom met my dad back at 75, two years later the chosen has arrived
Holy Holy Holy father, hold me in a ocean worth of holy water
[Pusha]
and David’s slingshot,hope it throws you farther, you brought Church to stadiums built for only soccer
[Kanye]
When the world built on lies, the truth is a threat
[Pusha]
Faith over the fortune, it kept you out of debt
It’s snakes in money pits, that you ain’t found yet
[Kanye]
Crooks behind the scene like “he ain’t drown yet??”
[Pusha]
Rain bills down to the ranch till the whole town wet
God’s grace rains down that’s the holy fountain
Got twelve thousand acres full of holy mountains
See, you almost didn’t make it who were you without him?
[Kanye]
Holy Holy Holy father, hold me in a ocean size worth of holy water
[Pusha]
Man if plan A worked you wouldn’t know your daughter
For every tear you cried in South Carolina
[Chorus]
Its the kingdom
(He’s the kingdom)
And the power
(And the Power)
And the glory
(And The Glory)
Forever
(Forever)
