[Interlude: Holy Name of Mary Choral Family]
Oh, He'll give us what we need
It may not be what we want
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Baby girl tryna✦ get a nut
And her girl tryna✦ give it up
Chopped 'em both down
Don't judge 'em, Joe Brown
One last announcement
No sports bra, let's keep it bouncin'
Everybody wanna✦ live at the top of the mountain✦
Took her to the 'Bleau, she tried to sip the fountain✦
That's when David Grutman kicked✦ her out
But I got her back in and put my dick in her mouth
[Refrain: Kanye West]
On sight
On sight
[Bridge: Kanye West]
Uh-huh✦
Uh-huh✦
Uh-huh✦
Uh-huh✦
[Outro: Kanye West]
Right now
I need right now
Right now
I need, I need right now
Right now
I need, I need right now
[Produced by Benji B, Daft Punk, Kanye West & Mike Dean]

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse prioritizes aggressive, minimalist provocation and rhythmic intensity over lyrical complexity, functioning as an extension of the industrial beat's abrasive aesthetic.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Don't judge 'em, Joe Brown"

① A reference to the famous television judge Joe Brown, explicitly telling the listener not to act as a moral arbiter.② A play on 'brown' as a descriptor for the women or the situation, emphasizing the chaotic and hedonistic environment being described.

"Took her to the 'Bleau"

① Refers to the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, a high-end luxury resort.② Establishes a status-based setting for the narrative, contrasting the 'top of the mountain' metaphor with literal luxury consumption.

Unmatched vocal intensity and performative conviction

Effective use of the 'Joe Brown' cultural signifier for economy of language

Rhythmic synchronization with the aggressive industrial beat

Lyrical content relies heavily on shock value rather than dense linguistic layering

Surface-level wordplay lacks the depth expected of higher-tier lyricism

Structure is entirely linear with little variation in poetic arc
