The title itself is representative of the communication he is having with his own mind. He describes being out of control, and throughout the verse he highlights his drug abuse, thus causing a distorted reality, much like the feedback of an amplifier.

The string sample from Goldfrapp’s “Human” adds a very thin harmony and is combined with the call and response of the verse and an instrumental “woop” sound. The “woop” sound is reminscent of the “woop” sound in “All of The Lights,” which producer Mike Dean also worked on.

This that rap god shit nigga
I rip every one of these motherfuckers down
Aye, rah, rah, rah
Rah, rah

Close eyes, see things
Fire up, tweaking
You in my freak dreams

You in my freak dreams
Bad bitch, you dig that
Get stacks, drive cars
Whip out, bitch out
Tits out, oh shit
My dick out, can she suck it right now?
Fuck, can she fuck right now?
I done asked twice now
Can you bring your price down?
Lil Boosie with the wipe down
A little woozy but I'm nice now
What the fuck right now?

What the, what the fuck right now?
What if we fuck right now?
What if we fucked right in the middle
Of this motherfuckin' dinner table?
What if we just fucked at the Vogue party
Would we be the life of the whole party?
Shut down the whole party
Would everybody start fuckin'?
Would everybody start fuckin'?
Would everybody start fuckin'? They don't want nothin'
You motherfuckers living like half of your level, half of your life
I smack her on her ass if she ghetto, I ain't gon' lie

All of my niggas gon' get it in Chi now
You get hit with the pie now
Rolls with killer money nigga get by now
Right now, right now

I'm with niggas that have been to your side now
Side now, side down

Overall Meaning

Kanye West's song "Freestyle" is a raw and sexually charged expression of his desires and ego. The opening lines, "This that rap god shit nigga, I rip every one of these motherfuckers down" are an assertion of his own greatness and power over the other rappers in the game. The chorus is a repetition of "Rah" which is an onomatopoeic expression of a gun being fired and sets the tone for the aggressive and violent nature of the lyrics.

The first verse delves into Kanye's fantasy of a sexual encounter with a woman, using graphic descriptions of his desire for her. The line "My dick out, can she suck it right now?" is a direct and crude request. The second verse continues this theme, with Kanye imagining various scenarios in which he could have sex with a woman. The line "What if we just fucked at the Vogue party? Would we be the life of the whole party?" is a reflection of his own belief in his importance and impact on the cultural zeitgeist.

Overall, "Freestyle" is a reflection of Kanye's bravado and his sexual desires. While some may find the lyrics offensive or vulgar, they represent an unbridled expression of his ego and his belief in his own greatness.
