[Chorus: Kanye West]
5:30, the car missin'✦
No textin',✦ just call missin'✦
We fight and you won't listen✦
You right, we both trippin'✦
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
It's game time, matter✦ fact, it's Ye time
The past year been a strange time
Visitations✦ on FaceTime
And who gon' break who's heart first? Always just breaks mine
Looking for blessings that God'll hand me
I'm tryna✦ just raise the family,✦ somebody✦ should raise the nanny✦
I'm tryna✦ leave you alone✦
But that last text was courtesy of Patrón
[Chorus: Kanye West]
5:30, the car missin'✦
Emotions✦ is all distant
No texts, just calls missin'✦
We fight and you won't listen✦
You right, we both trippin'✦
[Part II: Dear Summer]
[Intro: Ty Dolla $ign]
Barely✦ holdin'✦ on
Barely✦ holdin'✦ on, oh
Barely✦ holdin'✦ on
I'm barely✦ holdin'✦ on
[Chorus: Kanye West]
5:30, the car missin'✦
Is this what you call distance?
Want some in a glass prison✦
Duh-duh,✦ 'fore our last visit
[Verse: Kanye West]
That does it, woah, well, that did it
That gets it, no, that did it
Mad with it, I thought that we had did it
Everybody✦ want too much of us, everybody✦ except for us
I don't know what's left of less, run away✦ with nothing less
Tryna✦ write what's left of us, tryna✦ write what's left of us
Runnin'✦ off with nothin'✦ else, wanna✦ know what the writer✦ does
Everything✦ they said it was, everything✦ they read it was
I don't know how bad it was, I don't know how I forget✦ it does
I don't know how I forget✦ it does
You know it was, you know it is, you know the kid
You know we did and I owe with this
Owe with this, I'ma✦ go with it, I'ma✦ go with it and I go with it
Know I'm finna✦ go with it, I throw with it and we goin' in
Huh-fuh,✦ from the whole in, duh-duh,✦ goin' up with the thunder
And I can't take it, I can't take it
You a fake bitch
You don't really✦ love Ye, go listen✦ to Drake, bitch
You don't live with those songs, what it take, bitch
Go listen✦ to Lil Baby,✦ go listen✦ to Future,✦ bitch
Go soft, you don't think about your future,✦ bitch
Don't sa-fah-na-da,✦ I'm new with this
Da-da,✦ na-dana,✦ goin' through with this
Pa-da-la,✦ fa-na-dan, don't think this
Can't fa-fa-na-da✦ for you fake bitch
You don't really✦ love Ye, go listen✦ to Drake, bitch
Young Thug, Thug, Gunna✦ Wunna,✦ do to bitch
Listen✦ to Lil Baby,✦ listen✦ to Future,✦ bitch
Bo-summa-thunna✦ temper✦ for a fugitive✦
Wunna-tunna-dunna-dunna,✦ and I don't love hoes
You don't love Ye, you love Moneybagg Yo
I done signed✦ at where you signed✦ it, what he bad for? What he mad for?
You a fake bitch
Don't listen✦ to me, you don't— go listen✦ to Drake, bitch
Listen✦ to Lil Baby,✦ go listen✦ to Future,✦ bitch
But if I'ma✦ nunna-dunna✦ for your future,✦ bitch
And I hope your baby✦ daddy✦ was a fugitive✦
And I hope you sanna-danna✦ when you lose the kids
And I hope you, danna-danna✦ do with this
[Outro: Kanye West]
