FATHER Lyrics by Kanye West & Travis Scott
Intro: Johnnie Frierson
Give us love another day
And hear our prayers
Please, Lord, when, whenever we pray
Father, You’ve been, You’ve been good
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
I just wanna say thank you, Lord
You’ve been better to us
Than we’ve been to ourselves
Father
Verse 1: Ye
Know you wonder where the F we been (Mm, where you been?)
But I’m back to life like an Epi-Pen
And she still in the leopard skin
And I check me out, then check me in
See this coat, nigga?
Chorus: Ye
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9th (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove up to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Bye-bye to my old self (Old self)
Wake up to the new me (It’s a new me)
I used to be on Worldstar (Worldstar)
Now I’m making Newsweek (Newsweek)
I used to hang on the 9th (On the 9)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Cottage Grove to King Drive (King Drive)
Yeah, this life is a movie (Movie)
Bridge: Johnnie Frierson, James Brown & Sonya Friedman
Father
‘Cause I look good, I smell good, I feel good (Yes)
And you sing good, and make love good
Verse 2: Travis Scott
Know you wonderin’ where the F I been (F I been)
I been goin’ hard like a crack syringe (Crack syringe)
I been breaking bad, now I’m back again (Back again)
Gettin’ meal tickets, no raffling (Raffling)
You see these kicks, nigga?
Made checks off the right steps (Right steps)
More vision than some Oakleys (Oakleys)
She used to be a lone star (Lone star)
Waking up to loose scenes (Loose scenes)
Bend it back for me (Back it up)
Back it, back it (Back it up), bend it back for me (Back it up)
Back, back it, back it
Chorus: Travis Scott
Used to live up in the 7 (In the 7)
Now I bought two streets (Two streets)
Always team Luther King Drive (King Drive)
Now it’s Malibu Beach (‘Bu Beach)
Used to be VLIVE (VLIVE)
Now I’m trapped at the Booby (Booby)
[Outro: Johnnie Frierson & Travis Scott]
Father (Yeah)
Help us now (Turn me up)
Father
(Damn, like I’ve been wanting to hear you, but damn, nigga, you can’t rob me)
