With Kanye West populating social media outlets with "Famous," I thought I would search through his lyrical genius and see if I could find quotes from his songs that can relate to what it feels like to be at the mid-point of summer. You know, working, not getting to see your friends from college, having curfews, and wanting to go back to school. Well, Kanye totally gets it.
1. When your parents make the rules and you can't go out.
"In the night, I hear 'em talk
The coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless
How could you be so heartless?
Oh, how could you be so heartless?" ("Heartless", Kanye West)
2. When you finally get a job and work two days.
"I work them long nights, long nights to get a pay day (Huh!) Finally got paid, now I need shade and a vacay" ("Mercy", Kanye West")
3. When you get so used to who you work with you show up a little late, but your manager gives you that look.
"You should be honored by my lateness
That I would even show up to this fake s***" ("Stronger, Kanye West)
4. When you become anti-social and hanging out with someone feels like forever (Love you though baes).
"How-h-how long you ball? All day, n***
How much time you spent at the mall? All day, n****
How long it take you to get this fly? All day, n****" ("All Day", Kanye West)
5. When you miss your college friends so you replay through your memories with them.
"Sunglasses and Advil
Last night was mad real
Sun comin’ up, 5 a.m.
I wonder if they got cabs still" ("No Church in the Wild", Kanye West)
6. When you miss school and tell yourself summer is almost over.
"I'm heading home, I'm almost there
I'm on my way, headed up the stairs" ("All of the Lights", Kanye West")
7. When you miss dining hall food even though its gross (not really but you do miss the most ridiculous things).
"OK first things first I'll eat your brains" ("Monster", Kanye West)
8. When you are so far into summer you realize you're not having a summer fling, so you embrace the single life.
"I invented swag
Poppin' bottles, puttin' supermodels in the cab, proof
I guess I got my swagger back, truth" ("Otis", Kanye West)
9. When your life's purpose is to continue the Snapchat streak.
"With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece
Thinkin', no one man should have all that power" ("Power", Kanye West)
10. When you just start working for the summer bod.
"I drink a Boost for breakfast, an Ensure for dessert
Somebody ordered pancakes, I just sip the sizzurp" ("Through the Wire", Kanye West)
11. When you wake up and realize you don't have to go to class.
"Class started two hours ago, oh, am I late?
No I already graduated" ("Can't Tell Me Nothing", Kanye West)
