"SO SOON" is an unreleased song by the rap supergroup ¥$ (Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign) that was created during the YEBU sessions.[1]
Production[]
The song features a sample of "Smokin' On The Dro" by Three 6 Mafia.
Background[]
The song dates back to the Japan YEBU sessions in June 2023. Given the controversies Kanye had been in around this time, this song, like several other YEBU-era tracks featured controversial lyrics focusing on his cancellation.
The song was said to be in a near finished state and even appeared on the last known YEBU-era track listing before the Bad Bitch Play Book sessions had began that had been shared by Digital Nas on his private Instagram account. According to information shared by Luit, "So Soon" was the opening track.[2] A finished version of the song dating from the YEBU sessions leaked after a week-long group-buy on October 15, 2024.
The song was said by Luit to have been revived during the VULTURES 2 sessions in 2024 post-rework and that Ty Dolla $ign had recorded for the song. Young Moose has also recorded vocals for the song, though this version was privately sold by Luit.
Lyrics[]
[Chorus]
And you know we comin' through
You lookin' at the biggest in the room
Turn they backs on me, say it isn't true
It's funny how they back so soon
We the ones that showed 'em how to move
Honolulu with the tailor-made suits
N***as bailed on me, say it isn't true
It's funny how the back so soo-
[Post-Chorus]
Hm, back so soon, man, I find that ironic
Shorty in the passenger, we are not platonic
N***as be on bullshit when I'm already on it
N***as be on bullshit when I'm already-
[Verse]
15 minutes all I got, man, I'm out of time already
And I stay in shade 'cuz my name ring heavy
I been up too long, they talk down, and I get it
Might as well let 'em
Really, it's what-
[Chorus]
And you know we comin' through
You lookin' at the biggest in the room
Turn they backs on me, say it isn't true
It's funny how they back so soon
We the ones who showed 'em how to move
Honolulu with the tailor-made suits
N***as bailed on me, say it isn't true
it's funny how they back so-
[Post Chorus]
Back so soon, man, I find that ironic
Shorty in the passenger, we are not platonic
N***as be on bullshit when I'm already on it
N***as be on bullshit when I'm already-
