Here, Kanye West gives us an insight into his state of mind as he raps about media criticism of his outspokenness. Just one time for the record, just one time for the record Don't agree with the message, don't agree with the methods And the issues in his marriage with Kim Kardashian. I be goin' through things I had to wrote Celebrity drama that only Brad'll know Too many family secrets, somebody passin' notes Things I cried about, I found laughable Like Kanye West, Brad Pitt also went through high-profile divorce from his fellow celebrity wife.
The song starts with a sample of the intro to Lauryn Hill's 1998 hit song "Doo Wop (That Thing)." Hill's vocal harmonizing continues throughout the track. West previously sampled Hill when he repurposed her "The Mysteries Of Iniquity" as the hook for the original version of 2003's "All Falls Down." The Chicago rapper couldn't clear the sample for legal reasons, so he interpolated Hill's song instead and hired Syleena Johnson to re-sing her parts.
Jamaican dancehall artist Buju Banton contributes to the bridge before concluding the track. He reprimands his lady for being gullible and for believing the lies others spread about their relationship.
