I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away
Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah
You know you’re playin’ here with your own
(I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away)
Only child, mama’s favorite (Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
And this is that “I made it out,” it’s amazin’
Goin’ through cycles, different phases (You know you’re playin’ here with your own)
I’m tryna see how far I can take it (I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away)
Stay misunderstood, I’m often mistaken (Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
I put in the work, it was back breakin’
They thought I was kiddin’, thought I was playin’ (You know you’re playin’ here with your own)
Take this one to Mars like I’m Matt Damon (I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away)
They say I go off ’cause I lack patience (Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
Don’t think it’s my job for me to explain it (You know you’re playin’)
Bomb on everythin’, tryna play us (Here with your own)
Bomb on everythin’ (I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away, sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
I’d drop a bomb on everythin’
On my wife, I put a wedding ring (You know you’re playin’ here with your own)
On my life, I gave up everythin’ (Say what? Say what?)
I feel like givin’ up everythin’ (Say what? Say what?; I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away)
God know everythin’ (Say what? Say what?; Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
Huh, bomb on everythin’ (You know you’re playin’ here with your own)
Bomb on everythin’ (Nigga, what? Nigga, what?; I’m gettin’ late, I’m gettin’ away)
Yeah (Say what? Say what?; Sing if you want to, ah-ah-ah)
Hell, yeah-yeah (What?; You know you’re playin’ here with your own)
On your life I gave up everythin’
Alright, alright, that’s good, Kanye (Thank you)
This is so excitin’, isn’t it? I love it (Yeah, could you believe it?)
I couldn’t believe it, boy, you were
Somebody got it, though, you play tracks like Michael Jordan shoots free throws
Anybody does somethin’ that much and that long and is that good, it’s gotta pay off
Can’t go up there and do nothin’, but go off (Yeah)
Isn’t that, son? (Yeah)
The main thing is gettin’ to do somethin’ that you really love to do
(So you-you think— you think I come off too arrogant?)
No, come off just right because it’s what’s inside because you can’t be a star and not be a star
You gotta have some “oomph” about you
You don’t wanna just go say, “Oh, I’m just really not all that, but thank you anyway”
Nothin’ like that, I’m not sayin’ come off like that
I think the way you are and handle yourself is really just perfect
