Sci Fi
Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I married the best rapper of all time
Not only that, he's the richest black man in America
A talented, legit genius who gave me four incredible kids

Let me not, let me not
I better not, it'd be best if I stop
Let me not go f- apeshit, full BAPE
I was down, no e-, yeah, ayy
I was down, no escape
I was down, ain't no escape, there's no escape
Lupe out my town, had to skate, skate (kick, push)
We just said goodbye but it's straight (but it's straight, ayy)
I fuck with her vibe, it's okay (it's okay, ayy)
Got me hypnotized, in a daze
Protect my mind
Protectin' what's mine

Welcome to the Sci-Fi
Make a choice, oxygen or Wi-Fi?
Welcome to the Sci-Fi
Make a choice, oxygen or Wi-Fi?

Do your thing now
Then and then now, passin' out
When you laid down and I gave you the semen
I swear I heard God, the voice of Morgan Freeman (Freeman)
Baby, bye-bye, baby, baby, bye-bye
Baby, bye-bye, baby, baby, bye-bye
I'm just going to remove myself
From the situation 'fore I lose myself
From the situation 'fore I lose my health
I can't control you but I can rule myself

Welcome to the Sci-Fi




Welcome to the Sci-Fi
Welcome to the Sci-Fi
Make a choice, oxygen or Wi-Fi?
Welcome to the Sci-Fi
Make a choice already, oxygen or Wi-Fi?

The chorus, "Welcome to the Sci-Fi / Make a choice, oxygen or Wi-Fi?" introduces a contrast between essential physical needs (oxygen) and the modern world's dependency on technology (Wi-Fi). It suggests that in this "Sci-Fi" realm, one may have to prioritize between staying connected digitally or focusing on basic human necessities.
