[Chorus: Kanye West]

Scary,^✦ scary^✦

No more parties^✦ in L.A.

Please, baby,^✦ no more parties^✦ in L.A.

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Friday^✦ night, tryna^✦ make it into^✦ the city^✦

Breakneck speeds, passenger seat—somethin' pretty^✦

Thinking back to how I got here in the first place

Second-class bitches^✦ wouldn't let me on first base

A backpack nigga^✦ with luxury^✦ tastebuds

And the Louis Vuitton store got all of my pay stubs

Got pussy^✦ from beats I did for niggas^✦ more famous

When did I become^✦ A-list?^✦ I wasn't even^✦ on a list

Strippers get invited to where they only^✦ got hired^✦

When I get on my Steve Jobs, somebody gon' get fired^✦

I was uninspired^✦ since Lauryn Hill retired^✦

And 3 Stacks, man, you preaching to the choir

Any^✦ rumor you ever^✦ heard about^✦ me was true and legendary

I done got Lewinsky'd and paid secretaries^✦

For all my niggas^✦ with babies^✦ by bitches^✦

That use they kids as meal tickets

Not knowin'^✦ the disconnect from the father^✦

The next generation will be the real victims

I can't fault 'em, really^✦

I 'member^✦ Amber^✦ told my boy

No matter^✦ what happens, she ain't goin' back to Philly^✦

Back to our regularly scheduled programmin'

Of weak content and slow jammin'^✦

But don't worry,^✦ this one's^✦ so jammin'^✦

You know it, L.A., it's so jammin'^✦

I be thinkin' every^✦ day

Mulholland^✦ Drive need to put up some goddamn^✦ barricades

I be paranoid every^✦ time, the pressure

The problem^✦ ain't I be drivin',^✦ the problem^✦ is I be textin'^✦

My psychiatrist got kids that I inspired^✦

First song they played for me was 'bout their friend that just died

Textin'^✦ and drivin'^✦ down Mulholland^✦ Drive

That's why I'd rather^✦ take the 405

I be worried^✦ 'bout my daughter, I be worried^✦ 'bout Kim

But Saint is baby^✦ Ye, I ain't worried^✦ 'bout him

Had my life threatened by best friends with selfish intents

What I'm supposed to do?

Ride around with a bulletproof car and some tints?

Every^✦ agent I know know I hate agents

I'm too black, I'm too vocal,^✦ I'm too flagrant

Something smellin' like shit, that's the new fragrance

It just mean, I do it my way, bitch

Some days I'm in my Yeezys,^✦ some days I'm in my Vans

If I knew y'all made plans, I wouldn't have popped^✦ the Xans

I know some fans thought I wouldn't rap like this again^✦

But the writer's block is over;^✦ emcees,^✦ cancel^✦ your plans

A thirty-eight-year-old^✦ eight-year-old^✦ with rich nigga^✦ problems

Tell my wife that I hate the Rolls so I don't never^✦ drive it

It took six months to get the Maybach all matted^✦ out

And my assistant crashed it soon as they backed^✦ it out

Goddamn!^✦ Got a bald fade, I might slam

Pink fur, got Nori dressin' like Cam

Thank God for me (Los Angeles)^✦

Whole family^✦ gettin'^✦ money,^✦ thank God for E

I love rockin'^✦ jewelry, a whole neckful

Bitches^✦ say he funny^✦ and disrespectful

I feel like Pablo^✦ when I'm workin'^✦ on my shoes

I feel like Pablo^✦ when I see me on the news

I feel like Pablo^✦ when I'm workin'^✦ on my house

Tell 'em party's^✦ in here, we don't need to go out

We need the turbo^✦ thots, high speed, turbo^✦ thots

Drop-dro-dro-dro-drop, like Robocop

She brace herself and hold my stomach, good dick'll do that

She keep pushin'^✦ me back, good dick'll do that

She push me back when the dick go too deep

This good dick'll put your ass to sleep

Get money^✦ (Money,^✦ money,^✦ money)^✦

Big, big money^✦ (Money,^✦ money,^✦ money)^✦

And as far as real friends, tell all my cousins I love 'em

Even^✦ the one that stole the laptop, you dirty^✦ motherfucker

[Bridge: Larry Graham]

I just keep on lovin'^✦ you, baby^✦

And there's^✦ no one else I know can take your pla—, pla—, pla—

[Chorus: Kanye West, Junie Morrison & Ghostface Killah]

Please, no more parties^✦ in L.A. (Shake that body,^✦ party^✦ that body)^✦

Please, baby,^✦ no more parties^✦ in L.A., uh (Shake that body,^✦ party^✦ that body)^✦

No more parties^✦ in L.A. (Los Angeles)^✦

Please, baby,^✦ no more parties^✦ in L.A., uh

No more parties^✦ in L.A.

Please, baby,^✦ no more parties^✦ in L.A., uh

[Outro: Junie Morrison]

Let me tell you, I'm out here from a very^✦ far away^✦ place

All for a chance to be a star

Nowhere seems to be too far

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"The Louis Vuitton store got all of my pay stubs"

① Literal expenditure of income on luxury goods.② A symbol of his transformation from a 'backpack' rapper with simple tastes to a fashion-obsessed celebrity tethered to corporate status.

"When I get on my Steve Jobs, somebody gon' get fired"

① A reference to the erratic, demanding management style attributed to the late Apple founder.② An admission of his own perfectionism and volatility in the music industry, equating his creative process to corporate restructuring.

"I done got Lewinsky'd"

① A reference to Monica Lewinsky and the Clinton scandal, denoting a sordid, scandalous sexual encounter.② A shorthand for power-dynamic imbalances in celebrity sexual liaisons.

Exceptional technical rhyme density consistent with the computed metadata

Authentic juxtaposition of past aspirations versus current material reality

Effective use of pauses to heighten the gravity of the social commentary on child support/fathers

The narrative shift at the end feels slightly disconnected from the 'No more parties' thematic refrain

Some punchlines rely on celebrity name-dropping rather than intrinsic linguistic play
