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[]
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 ridiculousCredits[]
