Kanye West
The Brenda Song
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Brenda, Brenda
You can call him with your agendas
He the father, send your sins up
To the altar, Heaven rinse us
Praise the Lord

[Verse 1: E.P. Da Hellcat]
They just had to let the beast go
Never liked it peaceful, should've never gave you people
Access to key codes, now the spirit’s in the buildin'
Story that the priest told, or how the heat throw
With Timbs and a peacoat, I know what the streets know
Who you think I speak for? Know this got that juice
Nasty like Tampico, crafty with the lingo
Flashy with the jewels, but never touched the fuel
'Cause I don’t think you do well, find me on Pulaski
Catfish at Duwell's, or on my way to Cali
Like James with the two Ls, that's it in a nutshell
Nothin' sweet, bluebell, she just recess
Didn't you hear the school bell? Fresh, yeah, new smell
Mindstate do tell, high stakes and screwface
Stay open like I'm two twelves, Beethoven with the papyrus
Energy, catalyst, rattlin' your clavicle
Count me in abacus, calamities, upwards
Over average buzzwords, the expletive expert without usin' cuss words
[Chorus: Kanye West & E.P. Da Hellcat]
Brenda, Brenda (Yeah, ’State)
You can call him with your agendas
He the father, send your sins up
To the altar, Heaven rinse us
Praise the Lord

[Verse 2: Olskool Ice-Gre]
Spirit got my diction open, pit of fire, sea of smoke and
Pullin’ from a place that's broken, glued together, that’s the notion
I will only spew the truth, be the light, teach the youth
The basement days are over now, far from when I claimed uncouth
Those who really know me caught that line like it's an L-train
Never did it for fame, mostly use my right brain
Spiritually in balance like I practice Kundalini
Close to goin' veggie, make my pasta with zucchini
I live my life Jamaica, meanin' ev’ry ting gets irie
Searchin' for the soul? Then I recommend you try me
Abstract is the mind state, and my state will continue
Pushin' culture forward with this music, true essentials
Who He? Where He sent you? God don't make mistakes here
Baptize you in lyrics, y'all gon' stay awake here
I know what's at stake here, we ain't talkin' red meat
I'm talkin' evolution, we evolve you from the deadbeat

[Chorus: Kanye West]
Brenda, Brenda
You can call him with your agendas
He the father, send your sins up
To the altar, Heaven rinse us
Praise the Lord
