Remarks:
This song came out in 2010 but it only charted in South Korea, and there just to #99. There is a Rick Ross version too: the lyrics are not as good but makes up for it on the guitar solo (which, though, overwhelms the backing singer).
Lyrics: (both the Kanye West and Rick Ross lyrics)
[Kanye West]
I love it though
I love it though
[Chorus]
Uh put your hands to the constellations
they way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I’m preaching to the congregation
we love Jesus but you done learned a lot from Satan
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
we ain’t married but tonight I need some consummation
[Kanye West – Verse 1]
may the Lord forgive us
may the God’s be with us
and that magic hour I seen good Christians make rash decisions
oh she do it, what happened to Religion?
oh she lose it
she putting on her make up
she casually allure
text message break up, the casualty of tour
how she gone wake up and not love me no more
I thought I was the ass hole, I guess it’s rubbing off
hood phenomenon, the Lebron of rhyme
hard to be humble when you stuntin on a Jumbotron
I’m looking at her like “this what you really want it, huh?”
what we argue anyway, oh I forgot its summertime
[Chorus]
Uh put your hands to the constellations
they way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I’m preaching to the congregation
we love Jesus but she done learned a lot from Satan (Satan, Satan, Satan)
I mean a nigga did a lot of waiting
we ain’t married but tonight I need some consummation
[Kanye West – Verse 2]
When the sun go down its the magic hour
the magic hour
and outta all the colours that are still up the skies
you got green on your mind
I can see it in your eyes
why you standing there with your face screwed up
don’t leave while your hot that’s how Mase screwed up
throwing shit around, the whole place screwed up
maybe I should call Mase so that he could pray for us
I hit the Jamaican spot, at the bar, take a seat
I ordered you jerk, she said “you are what you eat”
you see I always loved your sense of humour
but tonight you should have seen how quiet the room was
the Lyor Cohen or Dior Homme that’s Dior Homme not Dior homie
the crib scarface couldn’t be more Tony
you love me for me could you be more phoney
[Chorus]
Uh put your hands to the constellations
they way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
haven’t said a word, haven’t said a word
to me this evening
Cat got your tongue?
[Rick Ross – Verse 3]
Lookin’ at my bitch I bet she give your ass a bone
Lookin’ at my wrist it’ll turn your ass to stone
Stretch limousine, sippin’ Rosé all along
Double-headed monster with a mind of his own
Cherry red chariot, excess is just my character
All black tux, nigga shoes lavender
I never needed acceptance from all you outsiders
Had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired
Before his jaw shattered climbin’ up the Lord’s ladder
We still speedin’, runnin’ signs like they don’t matter
Uh, hater talkin’ never made me mad
Never that when I’m in my favorite papertag
Therefore G4s at the Clearport
When it come to tools, fool I’m a Pep Boy
When it came to dope, I was quick to export
Never tired of ballin’ so it’s on to the next sport
New Mercedes sedan, they’ll export
So many cars DMV though it was mail fraud
Different traps, I was gettin’ mail from
Polk County, Jacksonville, rep Melbourne
Whole clique, appetite had tapeworms
Spinnin’ Teddy Pendergrass vinyl as my jay burns
I shed a tear before the night’s over
God bless the man I put this ice over
Gettin’ 2Pac money twice over
Still a real nigga, red Coogi sweater, dice roller
I’m makin’ love to the angel of death
Catchin’ feelings, never stumble, retracin’ my steps
Abagond 
I’m still trying to figure out what the song is about.

Is the girl in the bathtub getting all dolled up the devil? Kanye is a screwball don’t like this song. I like the College Dropout Kanye better. After the death of his mother he just lost his mind and hasn’t recovered since in my opinion.

Kanye’s been lame since after his ‘duel’ with 50 Cent. Hell , why didn’t he get a fully white woman for this video instead of some ‘exotic ?’ I hope his casting director’s choices in selecting video models has improved.

1) Is this the official video? This is my first time seein it
2) I believe this video is simply about the pleasure we get from sin, especially the joy many get from partaking in premarital sex.
3) I love Kanye’s music. Sure, he’s an A-hole or whatever, but his lyrics contain substance, his beats are sick, and his flow is pretty cold. Yeah, his music has changed after 808’s & Heartbreak (which took years to grow on me), but I see this change as his evolution as an artist. His music is just as good, if not better.

The official video comes from a film he made. It does not go with the song as well as the above video, so I did not use it, but here it is:

Screw Kanye and his gf whose name I will never type out. And yes I agree he lost his marbles when his mother passed—I probably would too. But i can’t forgive his music when he’s with you know who. She and her family opportune off black folks too suspiciously for me sorry…won’t support his music cause of her (and that damn mixed girls as mutts thing he said).
He can like who he like but that don’t me I should be subjected to songs about her.

Kanye did go through a transformation when his mother died, because his world was turned upside down. To him, she was mother and father because he has no relationship with his father. I also think he did not get closure or peace about the way Ms. Donda died. It was sudden and unexpected and preventable and I think he feels, in a way, responsible, maybe because he exposed her to Hollywood and the unrealistic expectations it all brought. I don’t know. I think he’s trying to find himself, hence all the changes and uncertainty that seems so obvious about his life now. I hope he can get back to who he was when he made “Jesus Walks,” but perhaps he won’t, because change is a part of life.

@justgrace1975 I think you are right about all of that. I think all these different girlfriends are just distractions to mask his grief. It’s really sad actually.
