Kanye West - Hurricane
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
See this in 3D, all lights out for me
All lights out for me, lightning strikes the beach
Eighty degrees, warm it up for me
Finally free, found the God in me
And I want you to see, I can walk on water
Thousand miles from shore, I can float on the water
Father, hold me close, don't let me drown
I know you won't
[Verse 1: Lil Baby]
Yeah, walkin' on the bridge, I threw my sins over the deep end
Sippin' 'til my stomach hurt, this month I done lost three friends
Early mornin', brainstormin', normally I can't sleep in
Sometimes I just wanna restart it, but it all depends
If I'ma be that same young, hungry **** from West End
Wrote my hardest wrongs and the crazy part, I ain't have no pen
Maybach interior camе with sheepskin
Still remember whеn I just had three bands
Now I'm the one everyone call on 'cause I got deep pants
Bro told me the way to beat the game is on the defense and
Never fazed by names that they might call me, but they gon' respect
And I feel like you better off tryin' to call, I might not get the message
She just tried to run off with my heart, but I blocked off the exit, yeah
[Bridge: The Weeknd & KayCyy]
Oh-oh, I know You won't (I know You won't)
I know You won't (Oh), oh (Oh, yeah)
I know You won't, I know that You look over us (I know)
So we silently sleep
Bring down the rain, yeah, oh
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, I was out for self
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, I was up for sale, but I couldn't tell
God made it rain, the devil made it hail
Dropped out of school, but I'm that one at Yale
Made the best tracks and still went off the rail
Had to go down, down, down, this the new town, town, town
This the new ten, ten, ten, I'm goin' in, in, in
Here I go on a new trip, here I go actin' too lit
Here I go actin' too rich, here I go with a new chick
And I know what the truth is, still playin' after two kids
It's a lot to digest when your life always movin'
Architectural Digest, but I needed home improvement
Sixty-million-dollar home, never went home to it
Genius gone clueless, it's a whole lot to risk
Alcohol anonymous, who's the busiest loser?
Heated by the rumors, read into it too much
Fiendin' for some true love, ask Kim, "What do you love?"
Hard to find what the truth is, but the truth was that the truth suck
Always seem to do stuff, but this time it was too much
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, everybody so judgemental
Everybody so judgemental
Everybody hurts, but I don't judge rentals
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, it was all so simple
[Chorus: The Weeknd]
I see you in 3D, the dawn is bright for me
No more dark for me, I know You're watchin' me
Eighty degrees, burnin' up the leaves
Finally, I'm free, finally, I'm free
As I go out to sea, I can walk on water
Won't you shine Your light? Demons stuck on my shoulder
Father, hold me close, don't let me drown
I know You won't
"Hurricane" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his tenth studio album "Donda". The song features vocals from Canadian singer The Weeknd and American rapper Lil Baby. The song will be sent to American rhythmic contemporary radio stations on September 14, 2021 as the album's lead single. It was originally slated to be included on West's album Yandhi, which was eventually scrapped. The song achieved chart success in multiple countries, reaching the top-ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Hurricane" originated from the sessions for West's scrapped 2018 album "Yandhi" which would eventually be reworked heavily to become Jesus is King a year later. Two teaser videos posted to West's Instagram and Twitter in September 2018 previewed a version of the song which features a heavily auto-tuned West singing the chorus. The full song leaked in 2019 and has seen several versions containing verses from Ant Clemons, Big Sean, Ty Dolla $ign, Young Thug and 6ix9ine. On July 18, 2020, West announced in a Twitter post that he would release a new album titled Donda on July 24, 2020, teasing a track listing with the track "Hurricane". On July 21, 2020, West made a tweet that said "Lil Baby my favorite rapper but won't do a song wit me". Lil Baby was flown out to Cody, Wyoming the same week to record for "Donda". In that session, Lil Baby recorded his verse for "Hurricane" with KayCyy recording a bridge for the track. The song was first previewed officially on July 22, 2021, during a listening party at Mercedes Benz Stadium. The version played at the listening party featured a hook that was "heavily autotuned" and performed by West himself. In an interview published by GQ on August 2, the Weeknd stated that "I'd love to work with Kanye again. Especially on production". Shortly after, West teased on his Instagram page a photo of his call log which included "Abel Weeknd", leading to speculation that the Weeknd was going to be on "Donda". "Hurricane" was teased again on August 5, 2021 at the second listening party in Mercedes Benz Stadium with the Weeknd now performing the hook. After Donda failed to release on it's promised August 6 release date, "Hurricane" started appearing on Apple Music as the second track on the album. The track was released on August 8, 2021, on streaming services such as Yandex and Line Music for a short period of time before getting pulled.
