Kanye went ultra instinct on this song. Literally full powered Ye with no feature.

THIS THE CLOSEST TO OG KANYE WE’VE GOTTEN IN YEARS

this song is very very vibe worthy

2:14 Kanye's genuinely a great singer now. He's improved so much.

What a track!!! Old Kanye vibes!!!!

“I was uninspired since Lauryn Hill retired”- Kanye West, No More Parties In LA This song an absolute SMASH!

The production is great. Shows how you don’t even need a snare when you got bass, a kick, and a genius.

this song has such a good vibe

I’ve been begging for this song ever since he posted this snippet I can finally rest

This is a top 10 song, gives me a weird feeling of nostalgia, but it feels like it’s telling you to stay present and move forward.

Things I cried about I find laughable. I felt that on so many levels

This song should have been playing on the radio it’s literally a hit!!!

This is the best song on the album for me. Lauryn’s background vocals and Ye’s classic 2000s flow did it for me. 🔥

on repeat forever

i cant stop coming back to this song

This is that 07 Kanye vibe.

If this dropped in late 2000s early 2010s this would be one of his biggest hit records ever, but streaming era it will be lucky to be getting play next year. Imagine the music video for this premiering in a time where mtv/bet still played music vids.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE LIFE OF PABLO MIXED WITH THE COLLEGE DROPOUT. BEAUTIFUL SHIT 🥵

That first "Don't let Don't let the lifestyle drag you down" hit different 😤 😤 😤 Kanye West 🐐

The comments refreshing is honestly a blessing. All the copy-paste tryhard first day comments are gone n now actual good comments about the song can flourish

People saying the album is ass didn’t really LISTEN to the album, Kanye is a musical genius

"Dont involve yaself in things you dont have to know" this a gem

nah this shit is criminally underrated

“Don’t agree with the message. Don’t agree with the methods” 😎🥂

Every track still has criminally low views, this is the best shit I’ve heard all year

Never been a Kanye fan, just never listened to him. Decided to check out Donda and this is by far my favorite track. Everyone here saying this sounds like Old Kanye probably means I’m gonna check out his older works

I can't describe the happiness I felt when I saw this was in the track list when I first heard this. We'd been waiting for this song for such a long time 😭

There is a lot of things that I LOOOOOVE about YE!!!!!

The beat gives me mad lift yourself vibes

LAURYN HILL AND KANYE. MASTERPIECE

This is the Kanye we all know and love. Sample king 🔥👑

This song showed Kanye in a new light for me. I’ve never really been in to his music but i was shown this song and i was thoroughly surprised. I can’t believe i enjoy a Kanye song this much this is easily one of my favorite songs of all time

Best song on the album. This is authentic Kanye vibes right here.

I’ll honestly take this one song over the whole Certified Lover Boy album..

"play something that's very, very vibe-worthy" yes ye i am playing it rn

Haven’t been this obsessed with a song in a long time

Kanye has solidified himself as one of the greatest artists of all time.

i can't believe he actually dropped this song, i literally can't get over how amazing this album is

Almost got assassinated in October 2023 and has to go 2 deep surgeries and the most painful moment of my Life in a hospital. This music was the only sound that kept me straight and present for my Family. Kanye

I don’t know what Kanye would’ve ACTUALLY done with Lift Yourself if he wasn’t taking the piss, but I imagine it would’ve sounded like this. Absolutely beautiful.

“Days I cried about I find laughable”…. yes.

This sounds like a mix of Fade and Paranoid, so fire

It feels weird not listening to this song at least 5 times a day

This Aint A Normal Song, It Changes Your Mood Completly, This is A Masterpeice

If this was released during the summer, it would have been a instant hit. EDIT: I’m sorry, the BEGINNING of summer.

Kanye went by himself no features on an absolute BOP with this one. The joyful groovy beat and them Lauryn and Buju Banton voices, man guy just different when he inspired.

little fun fact of a thing i noticed while listening, in 0:49 to 0:59 there’s a leitmotif to “Good Morning” the opening track of graduation, pretty neat

Hes solidified his entire catalog with this album. I'm not a fan and only know his early work in limited experience and I fully believe this is a Master Work. This level of work places him in a pretty small club of similar artists.

I wanna cry right now. I was worried this will be unreleased forever. Seeing this as a song now, I’m overrunned with emotion. Thank you Kanye.

WHAT A BANGER🥵🥵

I’m literally listening to this song when I wake up everyday it’s so refreshing

He samples some of my favorite songs of all time. My musical soulmate.

The song is so solid even the entire album. What a perfect time to be alive

Yeah this one's gonna get some heavy rotation on the radio and inside shopping malls🔥

nothing describes the happiness this song gives

"I ain't got my point across, til we finally get the cross and pass the point." WOW!

He did this song good, I’m satisfied hearing it without listening to the snippet

This song would’ve fit perfectly on Graduation.

DONT LET DONT LET THE LIFESTYLE DRAG YOU DOWN 🗣

So underrated. The whole vibe of the song takes me back to 2007. It has that Graduation feel to it.

This is arguably one of the best choruses from Kanye. Usually he would have a feature like The Weeknd or Vory or someone to sing that.

This made me cry with happiness. Thank You Kanye.

“One less sparkle to follow…” So fucking DEEP.

This song is going to be so nostalgic in 5-10 years…

Never been a fan of Kanye or even this entire genre of music but listening to Donda, this album really has something special to it. It has so much motivation behind it, so much personal drive. It feels so special. Edit: a lot of people are assuming that I just never knew Kanye existed until now... I don’t listen to his other music because I don’t like his other music. I’m sorry if that completely enrages you and makes you want to throw shit at me. Yes, I grew up listening to his music because of my father. Still didn’t like it. Another edit: if you listen to any music that associates itself with emo Bart Simpson edits, don’t publicly share your opinion. You’re only bullying yourself. I even have more respect for Morrissey fans.

This that old school Yeezy. Have to re-listen to TCD after this

This is a song that i'll probably be listening to at 70.

The more I listen to this album, the more I love it!

He used the sample so well

Lauryn Hill and Buju Blanton added so much more soul to this track.

Lets come back in 2024 and talk about how good this track is! What a classic!!! Timeless stuff by mister West.

Hands down the best song on the entire album, ang arguably the best song on his last 3 albums

Jumped out my seat hearing this in the third listening party, I didn’t think it would ever get released. Getting some Graduation vibes.

Play something that is very very vibe-worthy

Don’t know how this song didn’t blow up

2023 and this song is a banger. The rhythm of this song is fire.

I’m just so glad everyone else likes this as much as me

I like how the bass feels like you're standing outside of a club. So much depth to this song! 🚢

0:48 Right there. This flow has to be my favourite on the whole project ❤️ Ye is so gifted at making music that moves the heart

Through it all he is an undeniable talent

Damn this is some fire production . How crazy is that Lauryn Hill sample . Sheesh

This is euphoric, melancholic, joyful; this is beautiful music.

0:50 me when I have to wake up for school

That first "Don't let Don't let the lifestyle drag you down" hit different Kanye West

Fav song on the album, gave me nostalgic vibes because of them good ol Late Registration and Graduation days

This is definitely Late Registration Kanye Vibes, from the electric guitar to the flow. If you don’t believe me, listen to the hook from “Heard Em Say”.

OMFG IM DANCING ALL DAY.... THIS ON REPEAT, SOOOO CLASSIC

This will forever be my favorite song on this album.

Takes me back the the soul beats era of Kanye's career, so many good memories

We came a long way from the snippet on Twitter and it’s honestly unbelievable we finally have this song

How have I not heard any of these from the last year??! They’re all so FIRE! And DEEP. Now I’m seeing a bit more why he’s been on such a “PR” tour 🤔😎🥂

“Play something that is very very vibe worthy”

I bet Drake BUMPS this when he's alone

Fuck, this shit is fire. this is giving me backpack Kanye vibes.

[Intro: Lauryn Hill] Yo, yo (Check our situation) My men and my women (Yo) Yo, yo (Check our situation) My men and my wom- [Verse 1: Kanye West] You need somethin' unexpected, some form of weapon You ask him to feel protected, and still feel protected Just one time for the record, just one time for the record Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods [Chorus: Kanye West] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow [Verse 2: Kanye West] Man, it's too early What the hell you doin' wakin' me up at 5:30? Why the hell are you worried? Play somethin' that is very, very vibe-worthy I don't know want my mind alerting People sayin' tweetin' gonna make you die early How 'bout have my heart hurtin'? Hold it all inside, that could make you die early Go on and get your best attorney Something's there, feel it when I heard it Just release the spirit, let it flow though How these **** leaving now with one leg like Flo-Jo? Nail me to the cross with long nails, like Coko Free Throat Coat for the throat goats Even if I gotta do it solo, even if I gotta do it with no promo I ain't got my point across 'Til we finally get across and pass the point So there's a couple things that I gotta quote Don't involve yourself in things you don't have to know I ain't never question what you was askin' for I gave you every single thing you was askin' for I don't understand how anybody could ask for more Got a list of even more, I just laugh it off I be goin' through things I had to wrote Celebrity drama that only Brad'll know Too many family secrets, somebody passin' notes Things I cried about, I found laughable Lil' baby Jesus, ain't laughing, no Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know The big man upstairs ain't laughin', no Don't involve yourself in things they ain't have to know [Bridge: Buju Banton] Now here we are You know I'm not about it Showed you my all I let you into my thoughts [Chorus: Kanye West] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow in love One last sparkle to follow in my light One last sparkle to follow [Interlude: Buju Banton] Okay, I didn't throw a fit when you said you wanted to leave I told you I loved you, but you didn't believe You were too easily fooled, so easily deceived By some dude who's more rather into greed Played by your emotions, you were swamped by your needs Told me, I didn't believe, you said I was out to deceive, ahaha You said that I lie, how did I? I told you everything, didn't I? But you just could not believe, man, I'm so peeved Your friends all up in your head even when we're in bed Your mind's elsewhere, and you say you care? Haha I'm laughin' at you all, you think you got me? No, no My back ain't against the wall (The wall, the wall, the wall, the wall, the wall) [Chorus: Kanye West] Don't let, don't let the lifestyle drag you down Who knows when was the last time you felt the love One last sparkle to follow in my light (Right on) One last sparkle to follow

That Doo Wop sample tho, so smooth

Kanye will forever be a musical genius, he is the pioneer of the great sound we have now, even Drake agreed he's one of the greatest artist to walk the earth, leave the streaming numbers, and focus on the masterpieces this man has made and this album is one of those masterpieces this man's music is forever immortalized, appreciate this legend while he's still alive🐐👑🌹❤

This track is Proof the Radio & Elite over radio refuse to let Kanye Shine ✨ this track should be blasting over airways instead of the rubbish being played no 🧢

Between the harmony of “watch out watch out” and Kanye’s hook, this song is what they call “Chef’s Kiss.” Kanye’s vocal arrangement on this is one of his best. People would pay to spectate his studio sessions 🔥 🔥

Cant believe we actually got this. Album is 12/10
