The BET Awards 2012 opened up with a G.O.O.D Music bang! Kanye West, Big Sean, Pusha T, and 2 Chainz took the stage at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles performed “Mercy,” then “Too Cold (Theraflu).” But Kanye closed out the set by cutting out the instrumental and spitting an acapella rendition of him and Pusha T’s new single, “New God Flow” (off Cruel Summer, August 7).
UPDATE: Kanye’s “New God Flow” lyrics added…and photos of Kanye, Kim K., Jay-Z, and Beyonce…

Now hold up, I ain’t trying to stunt, man
But these new Yeezys jumped over the JumpMan
Went from the most hated to the New God Flow
I guess that’s a feeling only me and Lebron know
I’m living 3 dreams, Biggie Smalls’, Dr. King, and Rodney King’s
Cuz we can’t get along, no resolution
Till we drown all these haters, rest in peace to Whitney Houston
Cars, money, girls and the clothes
Aww money, you sold your soul
Naww man, mad people was frontin
God damn, we made it here from nothing
Picture working your whole life, and you can’t cut through
That can mess up your whole life, like an uncle that touched you
What has the world come to, I’m from the 312, where cops don’t come through, and dreams don’t come true
Like where did God go, in his Murcielago, went from working Mcdonalds, to barely paying a car note
Even got enough to get his mama a condo
People [?] in front of his mom
40 killings in a weekend 40 killings in a week
Man the summer too hot you can feel it in the street
Welcome to sunday service if you feel you sunday service [?]
I got green in my eyes, follow this eric sermon
Did moses not part the water with the cane
Did [Noah make an ark?] when I made it rain
Did Yeezy not get signed by Hov and Dame
And went to Jacob to get the new Jesus chains
In Jesus name, let the choir say
I’m on fire ay, that’s what Richard Prior say
And I annihilate anybody that violate
Ask any dope boy you know, they admire Ye’

‘Did Moses not part the water with the cane…?’, I think it is!

‘Did Moses not part the water with the cane…? Did strippers not make an ark, when I made it rain?’, I meant to say! Haha. Biblical twist on the usual strip club scenario.
