Woo
(I be, I be, I be, I)
(I be, I be, I be, I)
Woo

Cookin' dope, let me cook it, yeah
Jackin' ass out the bushes, yeah
Do-si-dos syrup, yeah
You gold diggers I deserve, yeah
A gang of- bought purses, yeah
I did it all for one verse, yeah
I'm sendin' service out to Virg', yeah
I'm leavin' my mark on the Earth
Takin' my drugs in doses
My bitch by the pack
Came from the, came from the mud
First to put the hood on the jet
First to put the hood on Molly
Then we put the hood on V
F- what a b- gotta say
I'm now securing my bag
Trappin' in Atlanta
Bought three, four, five Phantoms
Drug dealers, murders, and the scammers
Crocodile Birk' for your mama
Forty-seven racks on Sundays
Burberry Mink on camera
Pour the Wock' down in the Fanta
Walk a- down on camera
Ski mask cover my face up
Skull wallet chain, Santana
Show a real, real, what you made of
Hit 'em in the top right now
Faded on Wock' right now
Catching my Glock right now
Marni on my sock right now
Your b- give me mop right now
To finesse on the road out the town
Drunk the pain up then swung up the pound
Selling dope to every girl in my house
Bust the jewels, every girl in my house
Cut 1600 out a ounce
Bought a foreign, could barely pronounce
One chain and it cost 'bout a house
Had them all a couple fives then bounce
Go tomato on the guts, a Ferrari
Hit this new lick, I'm snatchin' Bugatti
Sippin' all out the drank, it's exotic
Get paid just to talk out of pocket
Once your friends loading up then you cock it
Made these bitches out of friends, got me cocky
Rappers take off with the lingo and chop it
Make me crush up the scene with no problem
Swearin' these- gon' try me in Atlanta

Hopped out the Uber
Next thing you know, I bought Uber
Hopped out the Uber
Next thing you know, I bought Uber
Don't come in with the rumors
Don't ask me nothin' you can Google
Do I look happy, do I look happy to you?
(Do I look happy to you?)
Comin' in like, damn, where you get it from?
Comin' in like, damn, where you- from?
Had just hopped up out the Uder
Next week, that man probably bought Umer
Don't wanna come at me startin' with a rumor
Matter fact, ask me nothin' you can Google
Runnin' up a million being frugal
I was at yo' mama house, eating noodles

And we all wanna be happy
Do I look happy, do I look happy to you?
(Do I look happy to you)
(Do I look happy to you?)

And I know thump with the sun out with a tinted
And throw somethin' at somethin' I invented
Thought I had 'enough, got somethin', get rented
Out on thump, pour some money in it
Runnin' 'pon the sun when I'm in it
Tinted, squinted, been it, dunno, been a minute
Quote authentic, feel it, feel it
Hold up, I'ma let you finish
'Pac goin' thump, wait a minute
I got funk so I count too many
Too much time but I don't see any
How I'm gon' thump, gon' thump, when you with me
Thong thong, come and get me
Throw the lights on and hit the Diddy
Full stall of the Henny
Cocaine house round at Diddy's
Funk for you, houndin' like a Minnie
Two night time like Vinny
Told my mama don't want many
Told my mama I'm winning
Southside, I'm in it
Tell 'em finna wanna live there

And we all wanna be happy
Do I look happy, do I look happy to you?
(Do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)
(Do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)
And we all want (do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)

When we done something, it's a movie
Probably get a job back at Louis
Probably got a nine, act a foolie
Someone actin' unruly
Pass out, wake up with a IV
I be, told my jeweler I'm too famous for the chain
Told my stylist I'm too famous for names
Told my jeweler I'm too famous for chains
Told MTV I'm too famous for the fame
Man, we ain't playin' no more games
Mortal Kombat and I finish you
Wanna throw me in the institute?
All you can do is salute

And we all wanna be happy
Do I look happy, do I look happy to you?
(Do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)
(Do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)
And we all want (do I look happy to you, do I look happy?)
And we all want

Woo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kanye West featuring Future's song "Happy" are a reflection on the rappers' success, wealth, and power. The first two verses are a celebration of their lavish lifestyle, with lines like "Trappin' in Atlanta, bought three, four, five Phantoms" and "Bought a foreign, could barely pronounce." The chorus, questioning whether or not they look happy, implies that their material gains have not necessarily brought them true happiness.


The third verse features Future, whose flow is more abstract than Kanye's. He talks about making music that is authentic and feels good, with lines like "Quote authentic, feel it, feel it." He also mentions drug use and passing out, suggesting a darker side to the lifestyle they are celebrating.


Overall, the song is a mix of celebrating success and questioning whether or not it is bringing true fulfillment. The chorus suggests that material gains may not be enough to bring happiness.
