10 most head-scratching lyrics from 'Yeezus'
A sampling of funny, offensive and just plain bizarre wordplay on Kanye West's new album.
Like him or not, Kanye West sure knows how to get people talking, as they have been from all corners of the Internet following the Yeezus leak earlier this afternoon. A "polarizing, multi-layered body of work,"says USA TODAY's Steve Jones, Yeezus presents a more aggressive Kanye but one whose clever wordplay and no-holds-barred attitude is reminiscent of his College Dropout-era.
As you begin to soak it all in and replay the album for a third or fourth time, let's take a moment to reflect on some of its most head-scratching lyrics: the funny, the offensive and the just plain bizarre.
"I am a God/ ... Hurry up with my damn croissants!" (I Am a God)
"I just talked to Jesus/ He said 'What up, Yeezus?'/ I said, '(Expletive), I'm chillin'/Tryin' to stack these millions.' " (I Am a God)
"When I park my Range Rover/ Slightly scratched your Corolla/ OK, I smashed your Corolla." (Hold My Liquor)
"Baby girl, he's a loner/ Late-night organ donor/ After that, he disown ya." (Hold My Liquor)
"Damn, your lips very soft/ As I turn my Blackberry off/ And I turn your bath water on/ And you turn off your iPhone" (I'm In It)
"They be ballin' in the D-League/ I be speaking Swag-hili." (I'm In It)
"Star Wars fur/ Yeah, I'm rockin' Chewbacca" (Guilt Trip)
"It's so packed I might ride around on my bodyguard back like Prince in the club." (Send It Up)
"They order champagne but still look thirsty/ Rock Forever 21 but just turned 30." (Bound 2)
"She asked me what I wished for on my wish list/ Have you ever asked your b---- for other b------?" (Bound 2)
