Don't care what you say, nothin' on me
I don't care 'bout the lawyer fees
I don't care 'bout your loyalties
God will solve it all for me

God Breathed, Album: Donda

I was up for sale, but I couldn't tell
God made it rain, the devil made it hail
Dropped out of school, but I'm that one at Yale
Made the best tracks and still went off the rail

Hurricane, Album: Donda

All that smoke kept a scent
Everything I spoke, what I meant
Never disguise my intent, lines outside the event
Brought my life out the trench

Off the Grid, Album: Donda

We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States.

Gorgeous, Album: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

My friend showed me pictures of his kids
And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs
He said his daughter got a brand new report card
And all I got was a brand new sports car

Welcome To Heartbreak, Album: 808s & Heartbreak

See, I just want him to have an easy life, not like Yeezy life
Just want him to be someone people like
Don’t want him to be hated all the time, judged
Don’t be like your daddy that'd never budge
And I’ll never let him ever hit a strip club
I learned the hard way, that ain’t the place to get love

New Day, Album: Watch the Throne

Up from the ashes into the sky
Found a redeemer, how I survive
Voice of their mothers, Mary and Christ
Your light has healed me, blessed with new life

Up From The Ashes, Album: Jesus Is King

When you find out the opps ain't the only snakes
And your spouse only know what you don't erase
The world only know you by your worst mistakes

I'm a sick f*ck, I like a quick f*ck
I like my dick sucked, I'll buy you a sick truck
I'll buy you some new t*ts, I'll get you that nip-tuck
How you start a family? The condom slipped up

I Love It (mit Lil Pump)

You got sick thoughts? I got more of 'em
You remember bad b*tches that you smashed? I recorded 'em

If she suck seed, that's a success
If a girl cum, that's a f*ck fest
And we gon' score 100 on this drug test

Start It Up, Album: H.F.M. 2 (The Hunger For More 2)

All these walls that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, whatever, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to help the next man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as opposed to the entire legacy of a race.
