From Yeezus
This is based around a sample from the first verse of ‘Strange Fruit’, sung by Nina Simone – which in itself uses words from a poem about lynching. Yeezy’s lyrics juxtapose its political weight with lovelorn disappointment.
So why send depression not blessings?
Why, oh why'd you do me wrong? (More)
You persecute the weak
Because it makes you feel so strong
(To save) Don't have much strength to fight
So I look to the light
(Lord) To make these wrongs turn right
Head up high, I look to the light
Hey, cause I know that you'll make everything alright
And I know that you'll take good care of your child
Oh, no longer am afraid of the night
Cause IIIIIII I LOOK TO THE LIIIIIGHT
