Isn't that the beauty of it? Or should I say genius: someone must have told him he couldn't and he turned around and told himself he can and then he became.
How many people do you know that creates his or her own music and rhymes? There are not that many to begin with so yes he's a genius if you like it or not.
I forgot how talented he is Sometimes, because the drama in his life over shadows his his talent. It’s a shame how people judge his talent because of who he is. Talent is talent. Full stop
The vision of the artist is a extension of who it is, same with the politic views. But i have to admit the people in general is unfair with Kanye. At least he kicked 2018.
I agree except he wants and tries to lead but he does it in a twisted way that only resonate to him. I think he is terribly misjudged music aside ...musically hes judged as a genius and that's accurate.
chloe peterson I agree, after his accident and his mother’s death he wasn’t the same, he changed but he is still that person that we all love no matter what 💯
+Ajoykumar Thongbam I'm a huge Kanye fan, but he didn't discover Bon Iver. Dude was already riding high off is first album. You know that one that had Skinny Love? shit was all over the place when he came out. Lost in the Woods is actually sampled from Bon Iver's first album.
just because he added a guitar and a few horns on to a song with piano doesnt mean hes genre bending lol.. kanye fans are retarded they actually think this shits genius i dont see it
+João Victor one of the ugliest sounding vocoder immitations and it gives u the chills i think u should really listen to some good instrumental music for real chills
This song speaks so hard to me. As a veteran who is already dead just waiting for time to catch up. I have broken beauty, slaved ambition, heartache to myself, lost the win, fumbled the love and exhausted the tireless. I pray for all of us.
This song is an ode to everyone who struggles with mental illness and manages to see their own destructive behavior but feels like they just can't stop it. It's terrifying, it's also inspiring. Regardless of how Kanye has behaved, it's undeniable that his music touches us all in a very unique and special way.
this is a very important comment. one of the reasons I love this album so much is because I think it's a brilliant lesson in teaching others about how Kanye's mental illness shaped his career for good and bad. I agree. very unique and special but also terrifying and inspiring.
@@norwoodlewis5567 well... it's clear he has both. Whether one exasperated the other or how they intersect is something to be examined. I think he is a tortured soul and under the impression that the pain he experiences (like many artists) can be channeled into wonderful art. Personally I believe this to be true. But life doesn't have to be pure darkness, like the Beatles I think you can put light and happy feelings into your art and still find yourself with something almost unconventionally beautiful.
@@norwoodlewis5567 It's very obvious that he was going through a lot based on the death of his mother and the VM a's incident he basically torched his career on Live TV. This happened. It happened on TV. But it's also a fact. It's also common knowledge that kanye has had a very lucky career but also one full of lots of inner turmoil and petty behavior.
+luckenn baptiste , Uh Huhhhh... hes a genius alright, he put 2 notes together that aren't in the same key. Brilliant. Im amazed that we have entire generation of kids who have never played an instrument, or know anything about music, Only worshipping the smoke and mirrors of Hip Hop. What a shame.
Kanye west is a music maestro. Didn't appreciate him much back then. But lately I've been listening to his songs and it touched my heart. KW was something else. Peak of music.
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - The Road to Awakening” are the two songs that helped get rid of my depression. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕🎉
Me too came when my ex wife were getting divorced, the roles reversed though, she found someone else then tried to come back I couldn't do musta listened to this song 10000 times gotta say it was healing thank you kanye
It's crazy to see how talented he is and how lost he is right now. Lost his family, people call him crazy and stuff'.. Still don't agree with his words these days 🙄 Hope for the best
The instrumental of this track is just emotionally terrifying; not only does it resemble a form of despair but with a tad bit anger down in it's core and I can't listen to it too often, because I get flashbacks. Great, great work, musically speaking.
@@ragebaby8396 at the end of the day music is just sound but no matter how simple they can always invoke a response in people. So if this specific piece of music touches them, let it be.
I didn't fully appreciate the hype behind his music until I heard the orchestral version of a bunch of his songs. It was then that I realized how complex and dramatic, emotional the musicality of his work is
I've honestly stopped trying to decide which song is Kanye's best. He has so many great songs, I don't think I can say which one is the best. They are just all so different, it's like comparing apples to oranges.
OMG! What a great song, please tell me more I like Kanye's music but I ony know the most famous ones that I heard at mtv or vh1 in my country (gold digger, touch the sky, flashing lights and like that)
@ Gia Joseph Family Business, All of The Lights, Heard Em' Say, Bound 2 (especially the production), Never Let Me Down, Through the Wire, Champion, Good Morning. Comfortable (producer by him, feat Lil Wayne and Babyface). He has so many great songs.
***** Im discovering that, thank you, I like all the lights but bound 2 (it is the one with him and Kim riding a motorcycle?) don't like, it is uncomfortable to hearing, like 3 different songs playing at the same time.
Every time I hear this song, I feel sad for people making fun of his personal life, rather than appreciating his talent...the emotion that this song carries ❤..huge respect to Kanye for making this touching song..this one deserves a billion views..
Who is making fun of Kanye so funny The one who mocks most of them is a failure in his life if you joke about it He has no money, no work, and lives in a small apartment Tight lives in it like a dog no one buys it As for Kanye, the richest black man, a successful man All of those you are talking about wish what he achieved
I walk go walking everyday listening to this on full blast down by the river into nature and i feel the music come from everywhere and everything, amazing ❤
He is a real one. Probably the only celebrity that can admit to his wrongs and humble his self. When you are that humble it doesn't matter what they take from you because you know there is a higher meaning to this life. When you have that spiritual Awakening nothing matters anymore you are just here to learn.
This is a class act. Song, music, video and all. A class act. When he climbs on that piano there is something in the expression of his face that cuts deep to the bone.
@@brianabee88 Not really. As per official numbers currently Jay Z is 1,4 while Kanye is 1,8 and additionaly by many reports Kanye's net worth grew to 6,6 with his stake in Addidas, Gap etc...
Kanye did good with his dough. Some rappers bought cars, jewelries, got women pregnant like heck and paying children support like heck and they're broke.
@@IMPCIVLIVSCAESARDIVVS just because someone says something you don't agree with doesn't make them mentally ill. kanye has said wild shit all through his career but he upset a certain group recently
@@rojastegulu crazy how kanye said crazy stuff about literally every race and religion but as soon as he said something about jewish people he lost his bank accounts, contracts, etc. why is that?
@@rojastegulu he was instantly proven right. had he said all that stuff about chinse people you wouldn't have the Chinese Defamation League calling for his head, or have his bank accounts shut down.
The entirety of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was masterpiece after masterpiece. Every track was unique and special in its own way. Easily one of the best albums ever.
Kanye stands from a long table with black people all dressed in white, except this one woman. As he starts playing the piano, ballerinas all dressed in black run in two lines to dance to his tune. They're all the same, and as he raps he faces the dancers and not the table (audience). The people at the table pay him no mind at all except for when they raise their glasses for the toast. But this woman, the colourful one who really doesn't fit in, has her whole body turned to him, watching him. He has all her attention. As soon as he stops playing the tune, the dancing women leave as quickly as they arrived. He goes on to take his seat and she's still looking at him, almost admiring him. Not bothered by anything he says (him telling her to run away). I think it's the reason why he doesn't face her throughout the whole 'show'.. She stands out in so many ways.. lol it's midnight here.
As you said just your opinion, Wu tang, El P, Aesop rock, gangstarr, 2pac and 100more artists better that this commercial product....(And its just my opinion, but I'm not the only one) ;)
JO 7Z Is Kanye the commercial one? All his actions make him controversial. I would say the mainstream view now is to hate on Kanye. You may think he is commercial because of how profound his work is, but that may just be because he is a larger personality than all of the people you listed.
by hearing this song so many times, learning the lyrics, and making it my own after a while....thank you for that Kanye....its allows you/us to create the song that fits us in that moment.....genius!
When he get's on the piano you can feel all the emotions through his actions.. With that being said, this song helps me through so many different heart breaks and issues that no person could ever relieve me of. It's a strong and passionate song that has so much truth behind the lyrics. I wish I could personally thank Kanye for this work of art.
"They were born, they suffered, they died"(Anatole France) other say that only sure thing in ouer life is moment when death comes to us. So pain can be given by nature, other people or we can feel fear of existence, what can harm a lot. Tradition gives no more recipe how to live, society is cruel, we are left alone with ouer choices. Its not somehow addiction to pain, its fear of unknown, i think. Death can be as a joke in a movie but its real and somehow maybe its not an end but the door to new beginning...
say what you want about kanye, but this song is definitely a classic. It's the exact portrayal of a man who is able to admit his infidelity and lack of loyalty toward those that care about him (presumably an ex who once cared about him before becoming a self-centered dick). it's truly an anthem for guys willing to admit how shitty they've treated good girls in their pasts who deserved alot better. let's have a toast.
Or guys that have been called.a.scumbag when they actually aren't because someone wanted to make them feel like shit and own them when they were in love.
watching this back, i don't even feel he's uncanny. He just feels like a completely different person. i'm glad he didn't take this video down. i hope he doesn't.
@@baraka74 internet preservation is not guaranteed, it's a perpetual perseverance against the forces of entropy in computing. this video is being preserved in part by its continual use, so we have ourselves to thank for that, but it's also being preserved by a million middle men at Google, AWS, the whole power grid, etc. but to answer your question, i misspoke, since ye taking the video down is one of the least likely reasons this video will get taken offline. i'm glad it's not gone. i'm glad that the importance this song/album/career had on music history is being recognized in its preservation.
Kanye west: the perfect combintation between genius and idiocy. Never have i come across an artist with so much self awareness yet such a high amount if ignorance. Its great really
I'd say he's just speaking his mind and being honest, when other celebrities are afraid to do so and never do that. I mean it's not like everything he says is nonsense, he often has good points.
C'mon how can someone dislike this song? It's pure music art.. which hip hopper or rapper do dat now? No one, no one can be compared to Kanye.. you can criticize his behavior but not his music talent.. this is probably the best hip hop album ever.. it gives me every time so many fucking emotions.. god thank you Kanye..
+Pietro Corsi He can't sing for real or play an instrument... all he does is play a couple of notes in the piano (a monkey could do the same) and let the computer sing for him... he is not a musician
Talent? Are you guys fucking high?? Hitting 3 fucking keys with horrible emphasis is not a pianist. His singing is off at times, hes not as great as millions of unheard artists.
When I first heard this song when it came out I wondered why with the auto tune verse, but then i realized it was just pure emotion, like when you're yelling stuff out loud and it's just noise that comes out.
I never understood the music video until I started watching it everyday after a bad breakup, and seeing how it's in the middle of a pandemic, it really has me sitting here with my thoughts. For me, this is a story about a guy who is well liked and received: Popular, accredited, accomplished. Yet, he gets up from all of this, him leaving the table, to point out to everyone in the room, something that is wrong. He starts to play a piano, and suddenly these women start to run out and start dancing. Now, I see it as he is playing a tune that he expects women he selects to be his partner to dance to, and he expects them to dance well. The tune being the relationship. And there are lots of them, and they all have beautiful and different styles to them that bring something different to the tune he is making them perform to. And then he stops playing the tune, and tries to tell them to run, because he is recognizing his own shit, and that is when he climbs on top of the piano. But they keep dancing. And then the song goes on, and at the end, the coded verse only he knows, meaning its his own failure to communicate to either the women who have been in his life, or the people he is trying to warn, like at the table, of his own issues. And all the while, as the up close shots are happening in this time, he is haunted at the memories of the women who tried so hard to be with him and get him to communicate and be healthy. And at the end, when the tune is finished, and they leave, there is applause; by the very people he tried to show his own problems. Now I don't know what that is about, but maybe it's about a group of people who enable him to continue in his ways because it doesn't affect them nor bother them so long as they are at his table. Just my thoughts, feel free to express your own if you feel the need.
Never was much of a romantic I could never take the intimacy And I know it did damage 'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me I guessin' you're at an advantage 'Cause you could blame me for everything And I don't know where I'ma manage If one day you just up and leave
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - The Toy Store” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕
So you like racism type music?? He only wants to exterminate whole races, loves trumpy bear, only makes love to other male fish, married a hobbit and is an embarrassment. Hood shame. Hood shame indeed.
i may disagree with him on many of his choices, comments and aspects of his life but i will never deny that Kanye West is a musical genius.

Believe.. amazing 🎧🏴
“Kanye is a genius; the problem is, he knows that.”
lots of truth in that - it's given him license to push boundaries and explore but this album will go down as magnum opus no doubt.
Facts😂😂🎯
He's like the Pepsi of hippity hop
genius at what = he can make a good beat so, dre kills him at that what else is he good at ?
Isn't that the beauty of it? Or should I say genius: someone must have told him he couldn't and he turned around and told himself he can and then he became.
The whole song is amazing, but those last two minutes... that outro is pure perfection.
i knew i wasn't the only one who though that
I just enjoyed the chaos of it tbh

As per Google it's $1.8 billion🤷🏻♂️.
But yes, Kanye is a legend🙌🏻
@@brianabee88 Not really. As per official numbers currently Jay Z is 1,4 while Kanye is 1,8 and additionaly by many reports Kanye's net worth grew to 6,6 with his stake in Addidas, Gap etc...
Kanye did good with his dough. Some rappers bought cars, jewelries, got women pregnant like heck and paying children support like heck and they're broke.
Absolutely love Kanye. Always will 🙏. He is NOT cancelable
He's clearly mentally ill right now and having a breakdown before our eyes. He needs help.
@@IMPCIVLIVSCAESARDIVVS just because someone says something you don't agree with doesn't make them mentally ill. kanye has said wild shit all through his career but he upset a certain group recently
"not cancelable", except when he lost the biggest clothing brand deal and got his social media accounts closed 😂
@@rojastegulu crazy how kanye said crazy stuff about literally every race and religion but as soon as he said something about jewish people he lost his bank accounts, contracts, etc. why is that?
@@rojastegulu he was instantly proven right. had he said all that stuff about chinse people you wouldn't have the Chinese Defamation League calling for his head, or have his bank accounts shut down.
this is just genius. all of it. heart goes out.
The entirety of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was masterpiece after masterpiece. Every track was unique and special in its own way. Easily one of the best albums ever.
Kanye stands from a long table with black people all dressed in white, except this one woman. As he starts playing the piano, ballerinas all dressed in black run in two lines to dance to his tune. They're all the same, and as he raps he faces the dancers and not the table (audience). The people at the table pay him no mind at all except for when they raise their glasses for the toast. But this woman, the colourful one who really doesn't fit in, has her whole body turned to him, watching him. He has all her attention. As soon as he stops playing the tune, the dancing women leave as quickly as they arrived. He goes on to take his seat and she's still looking at him, almost admiring him. Not bothered by anything he says (him telling her to run away). I think it's the reason why he doesn't face her throughout the whole 'show'.. She stands out in so many ways.. lol it's midnight here.
Would you now think he is romantic😜
I love you just becoz of this explanation. I love you. I love you.
Thank you for your excellent break down 👍🏻 I watched it and that's what I see now
I loved your explanation 😌
EXCELLENT ASSESSMENT!! 👏👏👏👏
after 13 years and this song is still my favorite
Kanye West is Bloody Brilliant 😢❤
10 years later, if you're watching this, you're a legend.
10 years later we're back in YEEZY SEASONNNN
im legend
My funeral walk in song still lol
@@Cursedchannel666wait so one of you people can tell me if my mind is abit shit but didnt they wear white outfits.???? thanks.
Well, watching the high before the fall.
No rapper has an artistic vision like Kanye. He's the greatest hip hop artist in my opinion.
Kendrick
As you said just your opinion, Wu tang, El P, Aesop rock, gangstarr, 2pac and 100more artists better that this commercial product....(And its just my opinion, but I'm not the only one) ;)
He's definitely outside the typical box like ah boss
JO 7Z Is Kanye the commercial one? All his actions make him controversial. I would say the mainstream view now is to hate on Kanye. You may think he is commercial because of how profound his work is, but that may just be because he is a larger personality than all of the people you listed.
your an idiot for thinking kanye is special in any way open your eyes man
by hearing this song so many times, learning the lyrics, and making it my own after a while....thank you for that Kanye....its allows you/us to create the song that fits us in that moment.....genius!
My thoughts and prayers are with you too...as many others. Keep your head up, legend.🙏
This is, and will forever remain One of the greatest songs ever made! Almost a decade and still gives me the chills
xo xo applashh
After a long 12hr shift. I was feeling this song to the core. On repeat
It's my favourite song of all time.
When he get's on the piano you can feel all the emotions through his actions.. With that being said, this song helps me through so many different heart breaks and issues that no person could ever relieve me of. It's a strong and passionate song that has so much truth behind the lyrics. I wish I could personally thank Kanye for this work of art.
Raquelle Kochel i know that feeling
hannah uhzv fjigdfhhxdyueeuwhdu Yeah v.
I don t understand it one bit
This is the second time i m listening to a Kanye Song
Raquelle Kochel you are so right pure art heals and we all should be grateful for blessed by 'gods touch' artists as Kanye West is!
Its helpin me through some heartbreak shit right now. I just make sure to hit next when blame game comes on
Love you ye we been here since the first moment.
Beautiful Kanye Music ❤😢❤Loss of his Mom …. Everything changes fast.
It's amazing how so many of us are addicted to pain.
***** Sorry, it's just what I feel like I'm seeing out there in the world.
"They were born, they suffered, they died"(Anatole France) other say that only sure thing in ouer life is moment when death comes to us. So pain can be given by nature, other people or we can feel fear of existence, what can harm a lot. Tradition gives no more recipe how to live, society is cruel, we are left alone with ouer choices. Its not somehow addiction to pain, its fear of unknown, i think. Death can be as a joke in a movie but its real and somehow maybe its not an end but the door to new beginning...
Everyone with something wrong with them must be addicted to something, right?
Robert King Better the Devil you know, than angel you don't.... right?!! ☺️☺️💔
@@ilikevines sad 😔
say what you want about kanye, but this song is definitely a classic. It's the exact portrayal of a man who is able to admit his infidelity and lack of loyalty toward those that care about him (presumably an ex who once cared about him before becoming a self-centered dick). it's truly an anthem for guys willing to admit how shitty they've treated good girls in their pasts who deserved alot better.
let's have a toast.
Wow. You got so much wisdom
Chill dude it’s 2 notes and distortion
@@ragebaby8396 you're right mr downplay a classic to simplicity.
@@ragebaby8396 bruh you’re sad
Or guys that have been called.a.scumbag when they actually aren't because someone wanted to make them feel like shit and own them when they were in love.
watching this back, i don't even feel he's uncanny. He just feels like a completely different person. i'm glad he didn't take this video down. i hope he doesn't.
why would he take the video down?
@@baraka74 Exactly 😂 😂
@@baraka74 internet preservation is not guaranteed, it's a perpetual perseverance against the forces of entropy in computing. this video is being preserved in part by its continual use, so we have ourselves to thank for that, but it's also being preserved by a million middle men at Google, AWS, the whole power grid, etc.
but to answer your question, i misspoke, since ye taking the video down is one of the least likely reasons this video will get taken offline. i'm glad it's not gone. i'm glad that the importance this song/album/career had on music history is being recognized in its preservation.
@@junebendich6844 Merry Christmas
@@junebendich6844 that was an unexpectedly based follow up. Respect. You're correct too.
Balet and Hip-Hop go so well together ❤️
This wasn't necessarily just hip hop
@@tumisoramonetha7423 it was but it becomes experimental when you incorporate non traditional instruments.
Was the song crying at the end? bro wtf kanye you fucking genius. Good song.
4:40 This part of the song hits close to home. And ever since it first resonated with me, it can't go unnoticed. Beautifully written.
same
Right and maybe it's just be but i feel like this was heavy foreshadowing on him Kim ....
@@co0ki3M0NstAr it does sound like that. I’m sure he was also putting up with her 💩foe way to long also.
Just let it all out...Find a way to reach Closure...So you can rest...And just let it Go... I'm Here For You...💕
MASTERPIECE
the first note. legendary 🤎
Those dancers are so incredible. Their skill is magic.
There's not much denying his talent, no matter how crazy he might be. This is pure gold as far as music goes.
God delivered him bro
i just thought the same damn thing. ten years later this song still hits different!
Facts
Damn right. This album is pure genius that doesn't stop.
When celebrities try to do right then they are called crazy ...he is not Crazy.Gods child ..
A Masterpiece
This is a masterpiece
“Let’s have a toast for the jerkoffs, that’ll never take work off” is my favorite line. We all know that one guy that makes work hell.
Kanye west: the perfect combintation between genius and idiocy. Never have i come across an artist with so much self awareness yet such a high amount if ignorance. Its great really
I'd say he's just speaking his mind and being honest, when other celebrities are afraid to do so and never do that.
I mean it's not like everything he says is nonsense, he often has good points.
Babe
You are a wise man
Someone who knows his highs knows his lows if he is psychologically intelligent
Don't worry your not the only one listening to this master piece in 2022
Masterpiece !! I can listen this song and watch this video over and over it’s so beautiful and beautiful and spectacular and special!!
This has to be the best hip-hop song of the past decade.
That's Facts
I had to think about that for a second but yeah can't disagree
1 of 5 for Me!
C'mon how can someone dislike this song? It's pure music art.. which hip hopper or rapper do dat now? No one, no one can be compared to Kanye.. you can criticize his behavior but not his music talent.. this is probably the best hip hop album ever.. it gives me every time so many fucking emotions.. god thank you Kanye..
+Pietro Corsi He can't sing for real or play an instrument... all he does is play a couple of notes in the piano (a monkey could do the same) and let the computer sing for him... he is not a musician
agree pietro corsi
Talent? Are you guys fucking high?? Hitting 3 fucking keys with horrible emphasis is not a pianist. His singing is off at times, hes not as great as millions of unheard artists.
+Michael Little Thunder It's one of the greatest hip hop abums of all time. Every hip hop artists or critics agrees with it.
+Carlos Andrés Román You know nothing about hiphop
Such an excellent song!!!
You know it’s a masterpiece when the entire song is the most replayed. Praise the Lord, thank you for your music Ye
This is a good song.
True
*obligatory argument starting comment*
+First Last enraged fan of artist in video coming to defend their honor
+Zach advertisement for making shitloads of money from home.
+Joshua Burns Up and starting rap artist claiming you will like my music if you listen to Kanye West and begging for you to give me a single view.
When I first heard this song when it came out I wondered why with the auto tune verse, but then i realized it was just pure emotion, like when you're yelling stuff out loud and it's just noise that comes out.
It's 2022, and I'm just now finding this song! Wtf! ❤️. Reminds me of a young rapping Ray Charles.
He IS a Genius
He is.
This is gonna be the new National Anthem for America in 2021
I never understood the music video until I started watching it everyday after a bad breakup, and seeing how it's in the middle of a pandemic, it really has me sitting here with my thoughts. For me, this is a story about a guy who is well liked and received: Popular, accredited, accomplished. Yet, he gets up from all of this, him leaving the table, to point out to everyone in the room, something that is wrong. He starts to play a piano, and suddenly these women start to run out and start dancing. Now, I see it as he is playing a tune that he expects women he selects to be his partner to dance to, and he expects them to dance well. The tune being the relationship. And there are lots of them, and they all have beautiful and different styles to them that bring something different to the tune he is making them perform to. And then he stops playing the tune, and tries to tell them to run, because he is recognizing his own shit, and that is when he climbs on top of the piano. But they keep dancing. And then the song goes on, and at the end, the coded verse only he knows, meaning its his own failure to communicate to either the women who have been in his life, or the people he is trying to warn, like at the table, of his own issues. And all the while, as the up close shots are happening in this time, he is haunted at the memories of the women who tried so hard to be with him and get him to communicate and be healthy. And at the end, when the tune is finished, and they leave, there is applause; by the very people he tried to show his own problems. Now I don't know what that is about, but maybe it's about a group of people who enable him to continue in his ways because it doesn't affect them nor bother them so long as they are at his table. Just my thoughts, feel free to express your own if you feel the need.
Wow!!! That's the BEST interpretation of a song I ever read/heard !! Are you a musician/writer 👍
Badassed interpretation 👍
It hurts but it's real
I think you're right... Incredibly perceptive
Wow. This is insightful
Still here absolutely enjoying every sounds, every lyrics and every choreograph ! Awesome!
Who tf listening Kanye in 2023? All school ganstas on Gomunkul 6 now #
Kanye west is purely a genuis
Never was much of a romantic
I could never take the intimacy
And I know it did damage
'Cause the look in your eyes is killin' me
I guessin' you're at an advantage
'Cause you could blame me for everything
And I don't know where I'ma manage
If one day you just up and leave
Shit hits.
S/O Too Kim God Bless Her She Really Tried She Love Him That's Why she giving up The show💔
And she left.
Hard part
@@brianmalloy8328 he left
When people say Kanye isn't talented I just point them to this video and all of MBDTF
fanelyx CSGO that's a goat album for me
The day this video was released was the day my daughter was born. I’ll never forget it. Now we sing to it! This song and “Clover Cage - The Toy Store” are the two songs keeping me sane through these tough times. I just want to send love to everyone and I want everyone to know things will get better. We are in this together..I love you 💕
So you like racism type music?? He only wants to exterminate whole races, loves trumpy bear, only makes love to other male fish, married a hobbit and is an embarrassment. Hood shame. Hood shame indeed.
Once every week i come here and listen to a MASTERPIECE
This song deserves more credit for healing our hearts.

man city v PSG
KANYE... you're a genius!!
This song hits different ❤
this aint just music, this is art
