Lyrics[]
[Intro: Kanye West & Al Be Back]
Kick me out the country, they still want me
I could— hahaha (Let's start like that)
And you know I got the money, ain't nothin' funny
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Next flight to Israel
Next flight to Israel
Tell me right now, is it real?
Tell me right now, is it real?
Tell me right—
[Verse: Al Be Black, Kanye West & Both]
Y'all be talkin' 'bout the devil, I've seen a close up
Every lie they could've told, everything they told us
They was talkin' 'bout the staff 'cause a n**** Moses
Ain't nobody pardoned Hoover but we got the closest
Y'all be talkin' 'bout the devil, I seen a close up
I got pictures out in Paris and I just rolled up
I be talkin' to the ear lobe, they be focused
This is not pretty ghetto or pretty powed up
Seen them hangin' out my window, a hundred cameras
Tryna get a n**** screwed up, MC Hammer
I'ma use the word of God though 'cause that's His order
And His eye is on the sparrow like Lauryn told us
How you say you from the town but you actin' bogus?
You not lookin' at a cloud, this is how they drone us
This is lightnin', this is dark and this is for exposure
You can't do it without the king, you are Erik Spoelstra
N***** helpless after eighteen, pop a kilo
Man, what they done did to eight teams, done never befo'
It's that brand fuckin' strikin' never, never befo' ever will see again, bitch
That's on team four, that's on Keef
That's belief though, that's what Jesus Shuttlesworth, free throw
Peep though
I had to peep though, I had to keep it in my ear lobe
I was mean cold
I couldn't stand it, that was me, though, that was me, though
How many was they lost at, Kevin caused that
That's ain't nothin' but how a boss rap
I made it all that
I could take it to talk like they don't talk that
I could take it to the A team, I've been on that
I be snackin' on your dream girl
Takin' bitches bowlin'
Spazzin' on your dreams, girl
Picture n***** rollin'
Arguin' with Gina about Athena
Arguin' with Bella about Arena
Arguin' with Irina about Candace
Going raw everytime though, takin' chances
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Next flight to Israel
Next flight to Israel
Tell me right now, is it real?
[Bridge: Kanye West]
You can't kick me out your country, the people love me
You can't kick me out your country, the people love me
You can't kick me out your country, the people love me
You can't kick me out your country, the people love me
[Outro: Kanye West]
Next flight to Israel
