"Feeling like Katrina with no fema
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
First class with the seat back I still see ya
In my past, you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory's museum,
I'm just saying, Hey Mona Lisa,
come home you know you can't Rome without Caesar"
Without the last line which is pretty dumb, I like this passage, especially the bolded part from Flashing Lights
I think the thing I like about Kanye's lyrics is that they're laced with his exuberant persona.
You'd know it was a Kanye lyric if you saw it written down. They're not the most articulate but as a Kanye fan I don't listen to for intellectual pursuits, I listen because I find the way his character/persona/ego bleeds into his music enjoyable.
He's got personality, you can't deny that, and the sometimes humorous, sometimes brash and often ridiculous nature of his lyrics display that.
