Yeezy season approaching

Bitch whatever y'all been hearin

Bitch what, bitch whatever y'all been wearin

The monster about to come alive again

Soon as I pull up and park the Benz

We get this bitch shaking like Parkinson'

Take my number and lock it in

Indian hair, no moccasins

It's too many hoes in this house of sin

Real nigga back in the house agai

Black Timbs all on your couch again

Black bitches all in your spouse agai

And I know she like chocolate men

She got more niggas off than Cochran (Huh

Let me show you right now before you give it up

How much do I not give a *****?

Baby girl tryna get a nut

And her girl tryna give it up

Chopped em both down

One last announcement

No sports bra, lets keep it bouncin

Everybody wanna live at the top of the mountain

Took her to the bleau she tried to sip the fountain

That when David Gru**an kicked her out

But I got her back in and put my dick in her mouth
