Feedback is the fifth track from Kanye West's seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016). On the track, Ye speaks against his haters and celebrates his successes over a sample of "Talagh" by Googoosh.[1] The track was produced by Kanye West, Mike Dean, Plain Pat, Noah Goldstein, and Charlie Heat.[2]

Towards the end of the song, Kanye pauses the track to shout out that he's "the ghetto Oprah" before the instrumental gets more wild.[3] The song's production, which can be described as already erratic in nature, has been seen as fitting with the song's title, which can refer to the microphone feedback phenomenon.[4][5]

Background[]

The track was known as "Good News" or "A Long Time" by fans before the song was released, since it was played as a snippet by one of Ye's colleagues.[6][7] At one point, the song was cut from the album, but it was re-included in time for release. Travis Scott thanked Ye on Twitter for making this decision.[8] The track was revamped in June 2016 to feature improved production, which also altered the track runtime.[9]

[Chorus]
Ayy, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh? Had a good snooze?
Wake up, n*gga, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper

[Verse 1]
Money never made me
Make me do something? Nah, can't make me
Even if the money low, can't pay me
Even if the money low, can't play me
[Chorus]
Ayy, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh? Had a good snooze?
Wake up, n*gga, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper

[Verse 2]
Pablo bought a Rolie and a rottweiler
Seem like the more fame, I only got wilder
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
I've been outta my mind a long time
I've been outta my mind a long time
I be saying how I feel at the wrong time
Might not come when you want but I'm on time

[Chorus]
Ayy, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on me, huh? Had a good snooze?
Wake up, n*gga, wake up
We 'bout to get this paper

[Verse 3]
I can't let these people play me
Name one genius that ain't crazy
Follow our father
You borrow our motto
I'm a Chicago south sider
I'm a Chicago south sider
[Chorus]
Ayy, ya heard about the good news?
Y'all sleeping on your boy, had a good snooze?
Wake up, n*gga, wake up
It's time to get the paper

[Verse 4]
I've been outta my mind a long time
I've been outta my mind a long time
I know, I know, I shouldn't even bother
With all these gossiping, no-pussy-getting bloggers
Fashion show in Gotham, I need another costume
PETA mad 'cause I made a jacket outta possum
Awesome, Steve Jobs mixed with Steve Austin
Rich slave in the fabric store picking cotton
If Hov J then every Jordan need a Rodman
Man, Jay, they don't really want no problems
Driving in the same car that they killed Pac in
Driving in the same urr that they killed Pac in
Hands up, we just doing what the cops taught us
Hands up, hands up, then the cops shot us

[Outro]
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Wait a second, everybody here, I'm the ghetto Oprah
You know what that mean? You get a fur! You get a fur!
You get a jet! You get a jet! Big booty bitch for you! Woo!
