Flashing lights

Flashing lights

Flashing lights

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

She don't believe in shootin' stars

But she believe in shoes and cars

Wood floors in the new apartment

Couture from the store's departments

You more like love to start shit

I'm more of the trips to Florida

Ordered the hors d'oeuvres, views of the water

Straight from a page of your favorite author

And the weather so breezy

Man, why can't life always be this easy?

She in the mirror dancin' so sleazy

I get a call like, "Where are you, Yeezy?"

And try to hit you with the ol-wu-wopte

'Til I got flashed by the paparazzi

Damn, these niggas got me

I hate these niggas more than a Nazi

[Chorus: Dwele & Connie Mitchell]

As I recall, I know you love to show off

But I never thought that you would take it this far

But what do I know?

Flashing lights

What do I know? Know

Flashing lights

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

I know it's been a while, sweetheart

We hardly talk, I was doin' my thing

I know I was foul, baby

A-bay, lately, you've been all on my brain

And if somebody would've told me a month ago

Frontin' though, yo, I wouldn't wanna know

If somebody would've told me a year ago

It'll go get this difficult

Feelin' like Katrina with no FEMA

Like Martin with no Gina

Like a flight with no visa

First class with the seat back, I still see ya

In my past, you on the other side of the glass

Of my memory's museum

I'm just sayin', "Hey, Mona Lisa

Come home, you know you can't roam without Caesar"

[Chorus: Dwele & Connie Mitchell]

As I recall, I know you love to show off

But I never thought that you would take it this far

But what do I know?

Flashing lights

What do I know? Know

Flashing lights

As you recall, you know I love to show off

But you never thought that I would take it this far

But what do you know?

Flashing lights

What do you know? Know

Flashing lights
