The newest song I can’t get out of my head comes from the truly creative, truly great Kanye West (featuring Jeezy). There’s some autotune, but thankfully it’s not as blatant as what T-Pain does.
This was originally used as part of the publicity campaign for the 2009 NBA Playoffs, but people will probably recognize it more as the entrance song used by Frank Mir at UFC 100, where he got his face badly bashed in by Brock Lesnar.
Anyway, I digress. The beat is sick, and the lyrics are fierce. Oh and this fan-made video which uses typography in a unique way is pretty damn cool too.
It’s amazing, I’m the reason
Everybody fired up this evening
I’m exhausted, barely breathing
Holding on to what I believe in
No matter what you’ll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’
(Let’s go)
I’m a monster, I’m a killer
I know I’m wrong, yeah
I’m a problem that’ll never ever be solved
And no matter what you’ll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’
(Let’s go)
I’m a monster, I’m a maven
I know this world is changin’
Never gave in, never gave up
I’m the only thing I’m afraid of
No matter what you’ll never take that from me
My reign is as far as your eyes can see
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’
I’m amazin’, yeah, I’m all that
If I ain’t on my grind then what you call that?
Victorious, yeah, we warriors
We make history, strive off victory
Standing at my podium
I’m trying watch my sodium
Die high blood pressure
You even let the Feds getcha
I’m amazin’, born on the full moon
I was bred to get it in, no spoon
That’s why I’m so goose, summer time, no juice
Big family, small house, no rooms
They like, oh God, why you go so hard?
Look what he’s been through
He deserves an applause
So amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’, so amazin’
It’s amazin’
