Kanye West
The Numb / Encore Remix
[Intro]
For you, Chester, here I go
[Hook]
Can I get an encore, do you want more
Cooking raw with the Carolina boy
So for one last time, I need y'all to roar
What the heck are you waiting for
And after me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
[Verse 1]
Look what happened when I tried to make a song
I messed it up and probably got it all wrong
Can any of you say it to my face
Because you know I’m the one that you really hate
I got my life all screwed up
But take a look at what I’m gonna develop
I'm in Hollywood, got awesomeness
But hey, I’m not gay, I’m not an actress
On the low and the yacht got a triple deck
But when you young, what the heck you expect (Yep, yep)
Grand opening, grand closing
Wow, ok, I gotta get to walkin’
Because I’m getting really old, and I don’t wanna die
But if I did, I would really wanna fly
Just a note, I don’t own a tortoise
Since that made no sense, let’s skip to the chorus
[Hook]
Encore, do you want more
Cooking raw with the Jersey boy
So for one last time, I need y'all to roar (and dislike the video, just kidding)
What the heck are you waiting for
And after me, there shall be no more
So for one last time, make some noise
What the heck are you waiting for
[Verse 2]
Look what you made me do, look what I made for you
Knew if I paid my dues, how will they pay you
When they finally let me go
I got so mad, I was about to explode
From LA to NYC
From every single sea to shining sea
I go on tour to be the best
Right before I am put to rest
But I won’t stop there, I’ll come back
And don’t worry, I won’t be Little Mac
I’ll come back as a friendly guy
No smoke, no drink, and I won’t get high
Perfect words to use in a rap song
Then it was over, as the clock went “dong”
I came, I saw, I conquered
From record sales, to sold out concerts
So, if you want this encore
I need you to scream, until your lungs get sore
[Bridge]
Tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless, lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
But under the pressure of walking in your shoes
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
And every second I waste is more than I can take
[Verse 3]
I've become so numb, I can't feel you there
I’ve become so tired, so much more aware
I'm becoming this, all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like
I've become so numb
[Hook]
Can I get an encore? Do you want more? (more, more, more)
I've become so numb
So for one last time, I need y'all to roar
One last time, make some noise
