You
Kanye West Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why would she make calls out the blue
Now I'm awake sleep isn't new

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
Unless you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
Then play you will
i pray you will

Mrs. So Fly crash lands in my room
Can't waste no time she might leave soon

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
You will, you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
If you will
I pray you will

Wish this song would really come true
I admit I still fantasize about you, about you

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Don't say you will
You will, you will
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Please say you will





For real
I pray you will

I want to live long enough to have historians try to explain this

@ewanwilson1974

Jacob Christoher historian 200 years ago “and as you can see the culture in 2018 was very different as what we know it as today. You can see an example of this in their music. We still don’t know all that much about this music and we won’t for some time.”
