Kanye West
Love & COVID
[Intro 1: Raging Rhymes]
This year's been crazy
Can't cover y'all's faces
Can't handle new cases
I feel love fadin'

[Intro 2: A$AP Boli & Raging Rhymes]
Not what I had planned (I feel love fadin')
I wish that I had done more (It feels to late)
When I didn't talk to girls (I can't get play)
Feels like a chance I gave away

[Beat begins]

[Bridge: A$AP Boli & Raging Rhymes]
(I feel it)
The chance I gave away
(Conceal it)
(Don't feel it)
I gave away, yeah-yeah-yeah
COVID's got me thinkin' too much
(I feel it)
(Can I ever start datin'?)

[Verse 1: A$AP Boli]
Let's travel back in time before the pandemic
I wanna regale you 'bout an isolated incident
It's somethin' that I think I've mentioned a few times
But right now during COVID it weighs heavy on my mind
See, there was this girl I knew
I used to go to school with her, and swim with her too
I really hadn't seen her in a couple of years
Ok, maybe more, but we ain't wanna be weird
We never knew each other that well
But I was always crushin' on her, if you couldn't tell
But now I got to see her in 11th grade
'Cause we both took AP courses in the mornin', 1st period break
Kristen Bell hair with a Shannen Doherty lookin' face
Of course from Charmed Season 3, who wouldn't wanna date?
I felt I had to have her, and in extreme haste
I took a course that would leave us both displaced
I asked her out, followed up, maybe pressured her
Then read "I don't like you like that" on my Messager
I kinda lost my mind, was known to shed some tears
I had Take Care & 808s on a lot that year
I thought I'd ask some girls out, but couldn't face my fear
I didn't really do that until this senior year
I had a couple of dates, but nothin' panned out
And now I'm out because I can't contract the virus now
[Chorus: A$AP Boli & Raging Rhymes]
Not what I had planned (I feel love fadin')
Dealin' with my doubt and regret (It seems too late)
College now is looming (I can't get play)
That's the one field I don't wanna be Ye

[Verse 2: Anonymity]
I can't deal with this, I have worked too hard
This won't bring me down, won't stop when I need to start
My personal experiences, have led me to this point
Can't give up when I've just begun

[Verse 3: A$AP Boli]
It's just weird, navigating love & COVID
A lot of doors have closed and very few of them have opened
I left some things unspoken
Didn't wanna get out there just to end up heartbroken
My family's who I'm spendin' time with
I'm still tryna work on improving our relationship
'Cause they been really gettin' on my nerves
The one thing I've still got that's mine, this is where I turn
Got a paucity of funds that I've earned
And at home, I sit down, shut up, this is what I've learned
People wanna try and flout the rules
They tellin' people lies to get the kids back in schools
And the lawmakers treat us like fools
They talk out of both sides of their mouths, and we're confused
And amidst all this
I'm still steady wondering where the love is
[Instrumental outro]
