Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Jail. By Songfacts®.

This song finds an Auto-Tuned Kanye West bellowing about feeling imprisoned about his failure to live an upright and honest life. Yeezy knows he will trip up again and again in his Christian walk and would head for hell if it wasn't for God posting bail; the Lord has made the payment for us all by sending his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.

The song starts off with a double meaning. Take what you want Take everything Take what you want Kanye acknowledges to God that everything belongs to Him. Therefore, He can take what he wants. West is also telling his wife Kim Kardashian he doesn't want a battle during their divorce; she can have everything she wants.

Later in the song, Kanye reflects on the backlash he has endured for his past controversial remarks. He tells his detractors "we are all liars," and instead of imprisoning him with canceling, they should let it go.
