Baby lion goes

Where the islands go

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

You say you never saw this comin', well, you're not alone

Million dollar renovations to a happy home

My ex says she gave me the best years of her life

I saw a recent picture of her, I guess she was right

I wake up, assessin' the damages

Checkin' MediaTakeOut

Pictures of me drunk walkin' out with a bitch

But it's blurry enough to get the fake out

I wake up, all veggies no eggs

I hit the gym, all chest no legs

Yep, then I made myself a smoothie

Yeah, then me and wifey make a movie

Chicago, St. Louis, St. Louis to Chicago

Ándale, ándale E.I, E.I, uh-oh

You had me drivin' far enough to switch the time zone

You was the best of all time at the time, though

Yeah, you wasn't mine, though

[Chorus: Kanye West]

But I still drove thirty hours

And I, I still drove thirty hours to you, yeah

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

I remember rappin' for Jay and Cam

Young producer just trying to get his flows off

I remember being nervous to do Victoria's Secret

'Til I pictured everybody with they clothes off

Expedition was Eddie Bauer edition

I'm drivin' with no winter tires in December

Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, like a private school for women

Then I get there and all the Popeye's is finished, girl

You don't love me, you just pretendin'

I need a happy beginnin', middle and endin'

Chicago, St. Louis, St. Louis to Chicago

It's gettin' hot in here, that's all that I know

Got a hotel room, three stars for you

You call down for an omelet, girl, it's 5 in the morning

You realize we at the DoubleTree, not the Aria

Only thing open is Waffle House, girl, don't start with me

I used the Western Union for you like it's no prob'

'Cause you was in college complainin' 'bout it's no jobs

But you were suckin' a nigga dick the whole time

Well, I guess a blowjob's better than no job

[Chorus: Kanye West]

And I drove back thirty hours, uh

[Bridge: Arthur Russell]

Where the main ties onto the sail

Better on sighting

For astern, oh

[Outro: Kanye West & André 3000]
