Kanye West – I Am A God lyrics
[Produced By Daft Punk, Hudson Mohawke, Kanye West and Mike Dean]

[Intro: Sample]
"Blazin, mi don't want dem
Mi need dem
Blazin"
"Suh mi tek har outta bugah red and put her in a tall skirt
And now she find out what life is really worth
No to X rated"
"Yo mi tek har outta bugah red and put her in a tall skirt
And now she find out what life is really worth
No to X rated"

[Intro]
I am a god
I am a god
I am a god

[Hook]
I am a god
Hurry up with my damn massage
Hurry up with my damn ménage
Get the Porsche out the damn garage
I am a god
Even though I'm a man of God
My whole life in the hand of God
So y'all better quit playin' with God

[Verse 1]
Soon as they like you make 'em unlike you
Cause kissin' people ass is so unlike you
The only rapper compared to Michael
So here's a few hatin'-ass niggas to fight you
And here's a few snake-ass niggas to bite you
And I don't even wanna hear 'bout what niggas might do
Old niggas mentally still in high school
Since the tight jeans they ain't never liked you
Pink-ass polos with a fuckin' backpack
But everybody know you brought real rap back
Nobody had swag, man, we the Rat Pack
Virgil, Pyrex, Don C snapback
Ibn diamond, Chi-town shinin'
Monop' in this bitch again, changed the climate
Hop in this bitch to give Saint the garment
Until the day I get struck by lightning

[Hook]
I am a god
So hurry up with my damn massage
In a French-ass restaurant
Hurry up with my damn croissants
I am a god
I am a god
I am a god

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

[Verse 2]
I just talked to Jesus
He said, "What up, Yeezus?"
I said, "Shit—I'm chillin'
Tryna stack these millions"
I know he the most high
But I am a close high
Mi casa, su casa
That's our cosa nostra
I am a god
I am a god
I am a god
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!

[Outro: Justin Vernon]
Ain't no way I'm givin' up. I'm a god

    The next scripture to 82: 6. 82: 7
    "Nevertheless you will die like men And fall like any one of the princes." I don't think its fair to be bias on a topic such as this. When God said "you are all gods" did not mean that we are "gods". Its a representation of the authority that God has given to those in power on the earth. Men and women of God are to never bring glory to themselves but to always lift the ones around them to Jesus. Only He can say, "I Am God" since He really is! To even consider yourself close to being high like Jesus, you have to ask yourself, "does my life reflect the life Jesus had?" If your answer is no, then there's no more that needs to be said.

    I am sorry to hear all the negative things said about Kanye (get off his high horse) really? How dare you speak of him in this context, does he have a high horse? Have you ever met Kanye? Most likely you've never met Kanye, so how dare we live in a world where people try to knock him down. I don't think you were saying anything positive when you spoke of hoping God strike him down. Again, really? Keep the negativity out of your life Kanyaaay! Keep being you. If you just be you then it will all fall into place. Peace be with you Kanye, keep on trucking. I wish you all the best!!
    Peace from DJ Carrie :)

    Josh Christie Americans are dumb. With a name like Miloš Šćepanović, it's likely English is not his natural first language. Do you speak more than one language? Maybe not. If you do, I'm sure you have made a mistake in your second language at some point. Gimme a break. You are obviously so dumb yourself that you think you know everything when you don't, and therefore have no business commenting on other people's spelling mistakes.

    I love It so much people that don't understand an artist will have all type of negative comments to make no one has anything to say when a painter paints their protective of God so why can't a rapper never once did he say he's better than God so I give him mad respect keep it up Kanye you are truly an Artist thank you for expressing yourself and staying true to yourself!

    Kanye is scary and disturbing. Look at those lyrics - he said "until the day I get struck by lightning" because he knows he's playing with fire messing around with God's name like that - then, gon' say "ya'll better quit playing with God," no Kanye, you betta quit playing with Him! "I know He the most high, but I'm a close high?" Hardly. I think the issue is, he knows the truth, but this money and fame has him, so he'll keep pushing the envelope b/c he's in that life now. I pray he see the light and get his mind right, 'cause he is a little touched. Seriously.

    Kanye (Con ya!) needs to get off his high horse or God will strike him down. I hope. You will see the devil never wins. Con ya! is toooo full of himself and even thinks he's better than his own wife and her family and I don't even respect her for marring him. Her dad would roll over in his grave.
