[Intro: Fats Gonder & Kanye West]
So now ladies and gentlemen, it is start time (Yeah, uh)
Are you ready for star time?

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Life of the rich and gorgeous, someone gonna be forgin' it
Up to my dad, I would have been aborted
If I wasn't the one that put the cord in
Pulling up in something looking foreign
Remember when a n***a couldn't afford shit
Now I get the order, thumbing thumbin' through my wallet
Automatic toilet, now that's the shit
Poppin' off with the orbit, I got ya' bitch
Uh, let it go

[Chorus: Kanye West & Rick James]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn
And if you're out there in the crowd, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it (Don't you play, no)
Don't you play with ya!

[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Let me fix my neck, chain on
Let me fix the check, games on
Let me thump a thump the game on, and ain't nobody playing with him, no
Summertime rain with him, no, they all layin' with him now
So I got the Marvin Williams with him now
No one wanna pray with him, no
Want it done, I bathe with him now
Something down I gotta name with 'em now
Like we always, talk to me on like we always
The illuminati, dirt bike or a Kawasaki?
Talk to them when they grew a nape
Bottled up on a new party
[Chorus: Kanye West & Rick James]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn
And if you're out there in the crowd, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it (Don't you play, no)
Don't you play with ya!

[Verse 3: Kanye West]
Oh, you been, something I marked on your bitch
Born and borned in, you got to get
N***a playin', we 'bout to get
Yeah, yeah, I walk here, got nothin', I'm born from fear, yeah
Yeah, I got a couple on me, yeah, pop sampling
Yeah, seen them all, nothin' different like a knew them all
Yeah, never do
Hold on, if you know I'm gonna fall out
Tell me something, they gotta know what they all about
And when I see you better, one of y'all out
See me and then I'm gonna find out what y'all about

[Chorus: Kanye West & Rick James]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn
And if you're out there in the crowd, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it (Don't you play, no)
Don't you play with ya!
[Verse 4: Kanye West]
With your praying hands, for you lil' n***as, I'm way advanced
I don't write rhymes, I write tattoos, and when I die, they build statues
You n***as ain't got the cashews, from the city where cash rules
'Till they run up on a bad mood, okay there's another bad move
Bitch, get out the way, someone outta' get out today
And I know I was gone for a minute, but if gone, I swear that n***a get out today
Uh, now let it get this money, sell it for a hundred if I want to
And there's nothin' for the loner
Something

[Chorus: Kanye West & Rick James]
Goddamn it I need you now, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn
And if you're out there in the crowd, goddamn it I need you now
Goddamn it (Don't you play, no)
Don't you play with ya! (Whoo!)

[Verse 5: Kanye West]
Don't play, boy
Someone gonna know whatchu' made, boy
Hoppin' in the mansion, walk around with a robe on, I could have started Playboy
Cause I married a playmate, someone knocked in the fake date
Now, something with my daughter when you stay eight
Got it marked it, got it done, and they rate
Yeah, whoo! Throw all that in the hole
Uh, uh, I let it money with my own
What? I got a month to lose, sound funny when I'm in that mood, haha
Throw it in now, throw it in, hold it up, go again huh
Hold it up, run it all, no it didn't huh
Run it long, could've gone, now we went whoo!
