YES!

New Music: Kanye West feat. Dwele “Power“ (co-produced by Symbolyc One and Kanye)

(props to Perajok for emailing at 5am, leaked by this mysterious microsite, see after the jump for details)

“No one man should have all that power…“

“Fuck SNL and they whole cast, tell ’em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass…“

“Colin Powers Austin Power, lost in translation with a whole fuckin’ nation. They say I was the abomination of a Obama’s nation, well that’s a pretty bad way to start a conversation. At the end of the day, Goddamnit, I’m chillin’ and shit. I know damn well y’all feelin’ this shit. I don’t need your p—y, bitch, I’m on my own dick….how Ye doing? I’m survivin’.  I was drinking earlier, now I’m driving. Where the bad bitches, huh? Where y’all hiding? I got the power to make ya’ life, so excitin’.“

The genius of this is….the man takes a sabbatical, a hiatus, a break. The mainstream thinks he is going on a self-inflicted punishment, lol…..and he comes back from paradise flipping’ the bird at the world.

I. Love. That. I don’t care about the wrongs and rights of the past. This song is knocking, and the energy is inspiring.

Now the weekend can finally start. With a real stank ‘sididdy attitude ; )

Lyrics, producer details, and more…after the jump….(UPDATED)

Notes:

-UPDATE 1: so FWMJ says that this beat was produced by his fellow Texan, Symbolyc One, and co-produced by Kanye West. S1 has worked with Illmind, is part of the StrangeFruit project, and is part of the Cannabanoids, which is Erykah Badu’s new production crew.

-UPDATE 2: I love that you readers are picking apart and correcting that lyric transcription below. There’s definitely some discrepancies, lol.

-UPDATE 3: Despite the misleading KanyeWestPower website that popped up at the crack of dawn, this is actually not an authorized release. “Power” is the official first single, but my sources say that a manhunt is on for whoever got the song and decided to release it this way. The song was supposed to come out on June 8th, via itunes.

-For all the beatminers out there: YN brought up the samples and producer Beewirks spotted a King Crimson “21st century Schizoid Man” sample. So that’s whats being said in the background, LOL. Holy sharp spidey ears! (apparently this song is also in Guitar Hero 5, lol….)

-This past weekend, Kanye was photographed in Soho by my friend William Yan, who is a fashion blogger. He was walking around without fanfare with manager Don C, and friend Virgil Abloh. Then he went to club CV where Scram Jones was spinning, and played a few new songs for the lucky crowd.

RockabyeReview already transcribed the lyrics: (but what’s a Dodie?)

I’m livin’ in the 21st century
Doin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the ’80s, got a nice ring to it [clearly, thats “Haters” not “80s”, thanks readers!]
I guess every superhero need his own theme music

No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
(21st century schizoid man)

The system broken, the schools closed, the prisons open
We ain’t got nothin’ to lose, ma’fucka, we rollin’
Huh? Ma’fucka, we rollin’
With some light-skinned girls and some Kelly Rowlands
In this white man world, we the ones chosen
So goodnight, cruel world, I see you in the mornin’
Huh? I see you in the mornin’
This is way too much, I need a moment

No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

Fuck SNL and the whole cast
Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass
More specifically, they can kiss my asshole
I’m an asshole? You niggas got jugs [JOKES]
You short-minded niggas’ thoughts is Napoleon
My furs is Mongolian, my ice, brought the Dodies in [GOALIES]
Now I embody every characteristic of the egotistic
He know, he so, fuckin’ gifted
I just needed time alone, with my own thoughts
Got treasures in my mind, but couldn’t open up my own vault
My childlike creativity, purity and honesty
Is honestly being prodded by these grown thoughts [crowded]
Reality is catchin’ up with me
Takin’ my inner child, I’m fighting for it, custody
With these responsibilities that they entrusted me
As I look down at my dia-mond-encrusted piece

Nigga, no one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hours
Stop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power
‘Til then, fuck that, the world’s ours

And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they
And then they (Go)
And then they (21st century schizoid man)

Holy, powers, Austin, Powers [Im sticking with my own version, Colin. Powers.]
Lost in translation with a whole fuckin’ nation
They say I was the obamanation of Obama’s nation
Well, that’s a pretty bad way to start the conversation
At the end of day, goddammit, I’m killin’ this shit
I know damn well y’all feelin’ this shit
I don’t need yo’ pussy, bitch, I’m on my own dick
I ain’t gotta power trip, who you goin’ home with?
How ‘Ye doin’? I’m survivin’
I was drinkin’ earlier, now I’m drivin’
Where the bad bitches, huh? Where ya hidin’?
I got the power, make yo’ life so excitin’ (So excitin’)

Now this’ll be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this’ll be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this’ll be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

Now this’ll be a beautiful death
Jumpin’ out the window
Lettin’ everything go
Lettin’ everything go

You got the power to let power come
