Half Price

[Intro: Kanye West, Irene Reid sample]

First of all, this song right here got...

"You say what is it that you want?"

...a long ass intro

"You got everything that a woman could ever need in life"

You got everything

"You got a closet full of minks, Chinchilla..."

You got beats from Kanye...

"I got a bureau full of diamonds..."

What else ya need?

"I can change four times a day if I want to

You even tryin' to eat lobster and drink champagne

Now you know that ain't your roots

For you strictly a collard green and cornbread bit

Now, you know, if anybody know it, I know

But since you feel like that this evening

Sit down" Know what? "and drink some champagne with me

And let me rap to you"

[Verse 1: Kanye West]

You'll never catch me in that baby momma Benz again

I'm pushin' a G5

All the girls sayin' that his hair look Indian

And ain't never seen him in MCM

Now I don't like fake boobies, but I'd do it to Lil' Kim (Yes, I would)

We gon' roll this weed

We gon' play like Sonny Bono and hit these trees, soon as we get alone

I'm doin' beats for pro-bono, soon as we get to bone

Now she like a lot of clothes, I like to see her out of 'em

She got a lot exposed, pump up the volume

Pump up the volume, dance, dance

Don't give Kanye a chance

'Cause I'm a Gemini with two sides and two rides

Y'all talkin' business, I'm peepin' her thighs

Look, I'm tryin' to hit that backend 'fore I get that back-end

Called Gee and Hop, "Do she need that beat tracked again?"

[Hook: Kanye West]

'Cause I came back for you

To show you that I'm workin' with a little somethin'

Then we get the session pumpin'

See, I came back for you

'Cause any rap chick that look half nice

I'm givin' 'em half price

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Back when Eve went with Steve, before she had her weave

I was sendin' beat tapes like you wouldn't believe

Back when Foxy had a group with Nas and AZ

The way she looked on 'Chyna Doll', I woulda did them beats for free

'Cause only recently I been gettin' a decent fee

The checks I got from D-Dot was t-teasin' me

I bought some earrings like Baby, that may be fake

But at least it got girls callin' me 'Babycakes'

Now maybe K can get a ménage with Lazy K and Lady May?

Maybe – hey!

You're lookin' all thick and sweet

You need a nigga that can give you dick and beats

So go and get Angie and tell her –

[Hook: Kanye West]

I came back for you

To show you that I'm workin' with a little somethin'

Then we get the session pumpin'

See, I came back for you

'Cause any rap chick that look half nice

I'm givin' 'em half price

[Outro: Kanye West]

Got a two-for-head sale

Send, send headshots first though

Need beat tapes for who?

Oh, Trina?! Oh, I'm right there, I'm right there

I'll be there, I'll be at the studio in five minutes

Yo, yo, she said, she want her ass, lips, pussy wet

I told her all I need is my back-end check

I told her to—

I ain't finish that verse
