    If the lyrics in Yeezus were re-done from awful to somewhat competent, the album would have no flaws to weigh down it's immense strengths. I wrote all of these revisions in about 20 minutes. I mean if Kanye couldn't have taken an extra hour to rework some of the lyrics, that's pretty lazy.

    On Sight

    Revise Verse 1:
    Yeezy season approachin'
    f--- whatever y'all been hearin'
    f--- what, f--- whatever y'all been wearin'
    A monster about to come alive again
    Yeezus Christ just rose back from the dead
    k--- a bent cop and s---t his friends
    Shake the P D up like Parkinsons

    Take my number and lock it in
    You aint cooperate, then f--- you then
    Too many wolves in this house of sin
    Real n----- back in the house again
    Black Timbs all on your couch again
    Black d-ck all in your spouse again
    And I know she like chocolate men
    She got more n----s off than Cochran, hah!

    Revise Chorus:
    (s---t em down) On Sight! x2

    Revise Verse 2:
    Laser and a crosshair, a red gloss glare
    Threat palpable, fear in the atmosphere
    If you come to my door without a warrant
    I'll s---t your face up like a bloody abortion
    Black and unarmed, blood on Christ palm
    One more fight to ignite and the strikes on
    Knock your wig back, head severed and snapped
    1400 billionaires, only 7 of em black
    White billionaire profits, we want a portion
    Private military corps do all the extortin
    CIA and FBI use their funds to support it
    Pig wanted a pension, well I guess he bought it


    Black Skinhead

    Revise Chorus:
    From: "I keep it 300, like the Romans
    300 b------s, where's the Trojans?"

    To: "Accept me in the flesh, like I'm Odin
    New history in text, yea, I wrote it"

    I Am A God

    Revise Chorus:
    I am a god
    Even though I'm just a lamb of God
    Move mountains in the land of God
    Don't know if you understand or not

    I am a god

    Revise Chorus 2:
    From: "So hurry up with my d--- massage
    In a French-a--- restaurant
    Hurry up with my d--- croissants"
    To: "Kiss the ground that I'm standin on
    Humility's just a f---in d--- facade
    Movin platinum, if you care or not"

    Verse 2:
    I just talked to Jesus
    He said, "What up, Yeezus?"
    They trying to me a villain
    Tho I'm make a killin
    He said just be chillin
    They all got an opinion
    Livin' is not sinnin'
    Yall bound to hurt some feelins
    Cuz Yeezy speak that real s---
    Some niggaz wont like you
    Just cuz they aint like you
    Try to undercut and spite you
    Cuz they cannot fight you
    Jesus is the most high
    Yeezus is a close high

    Mi casa su casa
    That's our cosa nostra

    New Slaves
    Fine as is.

    Hold My Liquor

    Revise several lines in Verse 1:

    From: "One more hit and I can own ya
    One more f--- and I can own ya"
    To: I'm the man that stole ya
    I'm the man that stole ya


    From: p---- had me floatin'
    Feel like Deepak Chopra
    p---- had me dead
    Might call 2Pac over
    To: Heaven had me floatin
    Feel like I might know ya
    Don't act like were dead
    Yeezy movin boulders

    I'm In It
    I'm not even going to try on this one. I guess the album could have f----- up song.

    Blood on the Leaves
    Fine as is.

    Guilt Trip

    Verse 1 Revise:
    Maybe it's cause she into Leos and I was into trios
    Plus all the trips to Rio couldn't have helped
    It's gettin' cold, better bring your ski clothes
    Peekin' through the keyhole, the door locked by myself
    And I'm feelin' it right now, cause it's the time when my heart got shot down
    Locked up, rust shut, beating, bleeding and f----- up
    Pour a little champagne, cranberry vodka
    Feelin' lied to like parents never said you adopted
    If I stay I may be sick, another loss chalked up
    She lookin for her daddy, I wanna be a father

    On to the next product
    Focus on the future like a witch doctor
    Hello, I am your conscious introduced proper
    Persona on the news lookin used, all washed up
    A product of love that was bundled and squashed up

    Oh!

    Send It Up

    Verse 1 Revise:
    Rockstar, b---- call me Elvis
    Fake friends call me selfish
    Success got em jealous
    Cash just drives wedges
    I feel so burnt at both edges

    Tattoos, how they break the news
    You only real if you make the news
    Do you wanna be in my shoes?
    Yeah, you wanna be my shoes!

    Other niggaz got cocaine to move
    I be goin hard, I got a name to prove
    The music make the pain improve

    Verse 2 Revise:
    This is the realest s--- in the club
    Since I adorned the cub
    Wait, is that Kanye West?
    You wish you coulda sworn it was

    She said "Can you get my friends in the club"
    I say "Can you get my Benz in the club"
    If not treat your friends like my Benz
    Park they a--- outside till the evening end
    My people dyin, I don't need this s---
    The blood is on the leaves again
    Black and spilling from the trees of sin
    Cops tellin niggaz freeze again
    And s---t em cuz they negro skin
    Rotten soil can't breed good kin
    I want a world with less evil in
    We all wanna see a genius win
    Yeezus just rose again!


    Bound 2
    Fine as is.

    Although I think the lyrics on Yeezus are awful at times, I don't see the point of this thread. Good job?
    Doesn't make a difference or anything.

    yeezus is arguably kanye's worst album

    musical wise , which is his best atu , making "good" sounding rap music aka pop rap
    flow wise
    production wise
    lyricism wise , some of the verses are atrocious , like wale level
