PROBLEMATIC
Kanye West Lyrics

I feel like I beat a murder, murder
I feel like I've accomplished something monumental, akin to escaping a serious crime.

Fuckin' on a beat you never heard of, heard of
I'm creating music on an original track that is unfamiliar to most people.

(Visible and invisible)
There are aspects of my persona and influence that are both overt and subtle.

That Pope like the leader of the Vati-
People regard me with a level of reverence, similar to that given to a religious figure.

Can he do it again?
There is curiosity and skepticism about whether I can replicate my past successes.

Everything I do, they do, guess Yeezy set the trend
My actions and style influence others; I am a trendsetter in the industry.

And we in this bitch again, time to get rich again (throw your motherfuckin' hands)
I'm back in the game, ready to achieve success once more—celebrate with me.

They lookin' like prey, I guess that's why they praying
Others seem vulnerable and are hoping for protection or salvation.

And when you flyin' private, it can't be no delayin'
My lifestyle is so elevated that efficiency is key; delays are unacceptable.

When I speak my mind, it's gon' be some lawsuits and furniture movin'
Expressing my opinions often leads to controversy and legal issues; it shakes things up.

I gotta haul through, like when you be movin'
I must navigate challenges with determination, similar to when someone is relocating.

I gotta fly to Japan just to be secluded
I need to escape to a far place like Japan for privacy and solitude.

They did no damage, would I give 'em no chances?
I acknowledge that they weren't able to impact me significantly, so I won't let them in again.

Even if they get a chance, here's panic like they know Spanish
Even when given an opportunity, they become nervous and confused, unsure of how to proceed.

How I brand all of these clothes?
I creatively market and promote my fashion line and products.

How every tantrum I throw make an anthem for hoes?
Every outburst or emotional display I have resonates with and inspires my audience.

This my life, not a quote
What I'm expressing comes from personal experience, not just words or phrases.

I feel like I beat a murder, murder
Again, I feel like I've triumphed over significant challenges in life.

Fuckin' on a beat you never heard of, heard of
I'm innovating in music by working on tracks that no one else is familiar with.

(Visible and invisible)
My influence can be seen overtly or felt in more subtle ways.

I'ma take all my baldies to Giorgio Baldi's
I plan to treat my close friends to a fancy meal at an upscale restaurant.

Throw my dick a party
I'm celebrating my sexuality and confidence openly.

Your dress code upscale, used to shop at Aldi's
I’ve now upgraded my lifestyle; I used to live modestly but now enjoy luxury.

I ran up some numbers, now I got what ya all need
I’ve achieved financial success and can provide for myself and others.

Give your homegirl the boric acid, save the summer
I'm suggesting a change to boost my friend’s confidence for the summer season.

New abs, she droppin' fast, it's time to come up, blackout
She’s making quick progress in self-improvement; it’s time for both of us to succeed.

Passin' out and then she wakin' up gorgeous
After a wild time, my companion is rejuvenated and looking beautiful.

I'm not racist, it's a preference
My attractions are based on personal choice, not racial bias.

And my bitch lookin' like a reference
My partner exemplifies the ideal of beauty or desirability.

Don't I make the rules like a referee
I am influential in defining what is acceptable in my circles.

Come get on your knees, shawty, I got needs, she a loud mouth
I desire intimacy and acknowledge that she speaks freely and openly.

I need to sign a seal, a couple brand new deals
I require formal agreements and new lucrative contracts for future endeavors.

Gotta get this shit off my chest, I got some shit to spill
I have personal matters and thoughts I need to express and share.

Passin' out NDAs, nigga, deal with it after
I'm asking others to sign non-disclosure agreements, ensuring confidentiality.

I just fucked the world raw, she need a morning after
I've had a significant experience or impact on the world with potential consequences.

And then the morning after
Reflecting on the aftermath of my actions and their implications.

And I quote, 'It's only one G.O.A.T,' let you have your fun though
I recognize my unique greatness while allowing others to enjoy their moments.

Run the block like Mutombo, you had it on loan
I'm dominating my territory; others are temporarily claiming success without permanence.

Every day in New Jersey, on my way to New York
My daily life involves traveling between two major states, reflective of my busy lifestyle.

I was late to every meeting in my Queens tunnel
Despite my busy schedule, I often find myself running behind in professional obligations.

But all the hoes in Hoboken know
The local women are aware of my reputation or influence.

If I seen you outside with the open-toes
If I notice you in public in a casual, revealing outfit, it draws my attention.

You might get you a trip to the Poconos
There might be an opportunity for a getaway or romantic escape.

You might have to tell your man a Pinocchio
You may need to lie to your partner to explain your choices or actions.

That was a jokey-joke
I recognize this was a light-hearted comment and not to be taken seriously.

That wasn't nowhere near as funny when you brokey-broke
Financial struggles make humor less effective; it highlights the seriousness of my situation.

Crying in high school over a high school bitch
Reflecting on youthful heartbreak and emotional struggles during teenage years.

And she still in the dark taking night school, bitch
The girl from my past is still struggling in life, attending classes at night.

Look at how we made it like we Mike WiLL, bitch
Observing our success in the music industry, likening it to the achievements of a notable producer.

Wish somebody woulda warned us
I regret not having received guidance or advice during our journey.

When I was fifteen, my soulmate wasn't born yet
At age fifteen, I felt a sense of incompleteness as if my true connection was yet to come.

African king in a different time
I see myself as deserving of royalty, suggesting a strong cultural identity.

We got multiple wives too, just at different times
In reference to historical practices, I imply that my lifestyle can embody various romantic connections.

Picture this, if every room got a different bitch
Imagining a scenario where multiple romantic interests coexist in different settings.

Do that make me a po-nigga-mist?
This raises a question about my lifestyle choices and their implications on perceptions of race and wealth.

Without the deals, I guarantee I'm still nigga rich
Even without contracts, my intrinsic worth and wealth remain untouched.

Shit is fucking ridiculous
Overall, my current situation and experiences are overwhelming and absurd, bordering on unbelievable.
