[Intro: Francis and the Lights & Kanye West]
I know, I know, I know, I know, know,
I know, I know, I know, I know, know,
I, I know it, I know it.
[Kanye West:]
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest,
Today I seriously thought about killin' you,
I contemplated, premeditated murder.
And I think about killin' myself,
And I love myself way more than I love you, so...
Today, I thought about killin' you, premeditated murder,
You'd only care enough to kill somebody you love,
The most beautiful thoughts are always inside the darkest.
Just say it out loud to see how it feels,
People say, "Don't say this, don't say that."
Just say it out loud, just to see how it feels,
Weigh all the options, nothing's off the table.
Today I thought about killin' you, premeditated murder,
I think about killin' myself,
And I, I love myself way more than I love you,
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest.
I think this is the part where I'm supposed to say something good
To compensate it so it doesn't come off bad,
But sometimes I think really bad things,
Really, really, really bad things.
And I love myself way more than I love you.
See, if I was tryna relate it to more people,
I'd probably say I'm struggling with loving myself,
Because that seems like a common theme
But that's not the case here.
I love myself way more than I love you,
And I think about killin' myself,
So, best believe, I thought about killin' you today,
Premeditated murder.
I called up my loved ones, I called up my cousins,
I called up the Muslims, said I'm 'bout to go dumb.
Get so bright, it's no sun, get so loud, I hear none,
Screamed so loud, got no lungs, hurt so bad, I go numb,
Time to bring in the drums, that prrt-pu-pu-pum.
Set the new tone on 'em, set the nuke off on 'em,
I need coke with no rum, I taste coke on her tongue,
I don't joke with no one, they'll say he die so young.
I done had a bad case of too many bad days,
Got too many bad traits, used the floor for ashtrays,
I don't do shit halfway, I'ma clear the cache,
I'ma make my name last, put that on my last name.
It's a different type of rules that we obey,
Ye, Ye, Ye season, nigga, we obey,
We was all born to die, nigga, DOA.
Niggas say they hero, mhm, I don't see no cape,
Mhm, I don't see no, mhm, yeah, I don't see no, mhm, mhm.
If I wasn't shinin' so hard, wouldn't be no shade,
Buckwheat ass nigga, it's 'gon be otay,
Sorry, but I chose not to be no slave!
Young nigga shit, nigga, we don't age,
I thought I was past my Deebo ways,
Even when I went broke, I ain't break.
How you gon' hate? Nigga, we go way back,
To when I had the braids and you had the wave cap,
Drop a pimp of the fade and I'm on my way ASAP.
Don't get socked in the mouth, you know homie don't play that,
Pay the fire marshal bill 'cause this shit done got way packed.
They wanna see me go ape,
All you gotta do is speak on Ye,
All you gotta do is speak on Ye,
Don't get your tooth chipped like Frito-Lay.
