Template:Song"So Appalled" (originally titled "I'm So Appalled"[1]) is the seventh track from Kanye West's fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010).[2] The song was first released as a single for Kanye's GOOD Fridays series on September 24, 2010. It features vocals from Jay-Z, Pusha T, CyHi the Prynce, RZA, and Swizz Beatz.

The song points out the issues of fame, critics, and overall being popular.[3]

Production[]

The version of the song on the album samples Manfred Mann's Earth Band's 1979 song, "You Are - I Am".[4]

Background[]

A tagged version of the song was leaked on November 12, 2009, featuring a shortened verse from Kanye. A day later, it was revealed that the song was produced by Kanye and No I.D. and was set to release on Diddy's then-upcoming album, Last Train To Paris.[5] However, after recording the verse, Kanye decided to take the track and use it in his then-upcoming album, Good Ass Job.[6] According to Pusha T, he states that the track was originally meant to be a collaboration between solely him and Kanye, but the final version included verses from Jay-Z and CyHi the Prynce. In the same interview, Pusha T also praised his verse in the song, calling it "probably one of [his] best verses".[7]

Lyrics[]

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Two hands in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes I mean ridiculous

It's like that sometimes this shit ridiculous

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Middle finger in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes, man ridiculous

Life can be sometimes ridiculous

I'm so appalled, Spalding ball

Balding, Donald Trump taking dollars from y'all

Baby you're fired, your girlfriend hired

And if you don't mind, I'ma keep you on call

We above the law, we don't give a fuck 'bout y'all

I got dogs that chew a fuckin' hole through the wall

But since they all lovers, I need more rubbers

And if I don't use rubbers, need more covers

Housekeeping, I mean got damn one time

Let it be a bad bitch sweeping

That know we get O's like Cheerios

That know because they seen us in the videos

That know, the day that you play me

Will be the same day MTV played videos

That was a little joke, voila!

Praises due to the most high, Allah

Praises due to the most fly, Prada

Baby I'm magic, ta da!

Address me as your highness

High as United, 30, 000 feet up and you are not invited

n***as be writin' bullshit like they gotta work

n***as is going through real shit, man they outta work

That's why another got damn dance track, gotta hurt

That's why I rather spit something that gotta perk

Champagne wishes, 30 white bitches

I mean this shit is, fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous, I mean this shit is

Fucking ridiculous

Five star dishes, different exotic fishes

Man this shit is, fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

How should I begin this, I'm just so offended

How am I even mentioned by all these fucking beginners?

I'm so appalled, I might buy the mall

Just to show n***as how much more I have installed

I'm fresher than you all, so I don't have to pause

All of y'all can suck my balls through my drawers

Dark knight feeling, die or be a hero

Or live long enough to see yourself become a villain

I went from the favorite to the most hated

Or would you rather be underpaid or overrated?

Moral victories is for minor league coaches

And 'Ye already told you, "We Major" you cockroaches

Show me where the boats is, Ferrari testarossa's

The Hammer went broke so you know I'm more focused

I lost 30 mill' so I spent another 30

'Cause unlike Hammer 30 million can't hurt me

Fucking insane, the fuck am I sayin'?

Not only am I fly, I'm fucking not playing

All these little bitches too big for their britches

Burning their little bridges, fucking ridiculous

Champagne wishes, 30 white bitches

I mean this shit is fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

I mean this shit is fucking ridiculous

Five star dishes, different exotic fishes

Man this shit is, fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

Success is what you make it, take it how it come

A half a mill in 20's like a billion where I'm from

An arrogant drug dealer, the legend I've become

CNN said I'd be dead by 21

Blackjack, I just pulled in aces

You looking at the king in his face

Everything I dream, motherfuckers, I'm watching it take shape

While to you I'm just a young rich n***a that lacks faith

Range Rove leather roof, love war fuck a truce

Still move a bird like I'm in bed with mother goose

Them hoes coming in a bakers dozen

Claiming they was with me when they know they really wasn't

I keep the city's best, never said she was the brightest

So if you had her too, it don't affect me in the slightest

I never met a bitch that didn't need a little guidance

So I dismiss her past until she disappoints your highness

I speak the gospel, hostile

Tony doing time for what he did to nostrils

Paranoid mind, I'm still under the watchful

Eye of the law, aspire for more

Them kilos came, we gave you Bobby Brown jaw

Flaws ain't flaws when it's you that makes the call

Flow similar to the legend of the falls

Spillin', I own you all, yeah

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Two hands in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes I mean ridiculous

It's like that sometimes this shit ridiculous

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Middle finger in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes, man ridiculous

Life can be sometimes ridiculous

I am so outrageous

I wear my pride on my sleeve like a bracelet

If God had an iPod, I'd be on his playlist

My phrases amazes the faces in places

The favorite, huh, my cup over runneth with hundreds

Dummy, dammit, not like for me to waste it

The new commandment, thou shall not hate kid

My movement is like the civil rights, I'm Ralph David

Abernathy, so call my lady Rosa Parks

I am nothing like them n***as, baby, those are marks

I met this girl on Valentine's Day, fucked her in May

She found out about April so she chose to march

Damn another broken heart

I keep bitches by the twos n***a, Noah's Ark

I got a seven on me, I call my dro the mark

Plus a trojan in my pocket, Matt Leinart

G-A-T in the Pathfinder

'Cause you haters got PhDs

Y'all just some major haters and some math minors

Tiger Woods, don't make me grab iron

Ay yo, champagne wishes and 30 white bitches

You know this shit is fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

You know this shit is fucking ridiculous

Cars for the missus and furs for the mistress

You know that shit is fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

You know this shit is fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

Fucking ridiculous

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Two hands in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes, I mean ridiculous

It's like that sometimes, this shit ridiculous

One hand in the air if you don't really care

Middle finger in the air if you don't really care

It's like that sometimes, man ridiculous

Life can be sometimes ridiculous
