You know why? Cause y'all been lied to
Google lied to you
Facebook, lying to you

Radio, f** you!
I know there's a lotta real n***as working at radio
Real people, real program directors
With wives and kids that love music that can't play what they wanna play
Because they've been paid to play that bullsh**
Over and over and over
And when I said "that bullsh**"
I don't mean - what I'm saying, is
We love Drake, Drake is great!
He a great artist!
But Frank Ocean is great too!
But you know who's the greatest of all of us?
Who do y'all think?
Nope! Kid Motherf**ing Cudi!
Radio, f** you!
Oh yeah, I'm on my Trump sh** tonight

Ayy ayy, what'd you say, bro?
Ayy ayy, is it "radio, f** you"?
Is that what you said? Exactly
Not - not the, not "f** the people that work at radio"
Cause these is real people that gotta feed they kids
And they not being allowed to play that real sh**
Cause they think, in order to feed they kids
They gotta play the same sh** over and over and over
I was raised by KRS-One
I was raised by A Tribe Called Quest

Go head, Google 'em!
They will give you a little bit of factual information
They will give you that
Why did I name ASAP? Cause that's the future!
That's the n***as that got me and Cudi on our toes like that
These these n***as keeping this sh** alive, bro
These these n***as keeping this sh** alive, bro
It's life, we got a hundred years down here
A hundred years on this planet, bro
And we can have a utopia
We can love each other
But the rules gotta be fair
Khaled, and Drake, and radio, and Doc, and 92.3
And everybody - is it just me
Or did you hear that song so many times
"You say you wanna play for free"
Ayy, ayy, you know what it is, though?
Cause ayy, I love Drake! I love Khaled!
They set that song up, bro!
And let me tell you something!
MTV, f** you! Once again, as always!
I'm on my Trump sh** tonight!
Let me tell you what it is, bruh
Ayy, you know me
I went down 7 years of my life of motherf**as hating me
Cause I said Beyoncé had the best video
Ayy baby, it's rock and roll tonight
Y'all might be experiencing a lot of pop sh** but the vibes is back
The prodigal son, Kid Cudi, has returned!
The vibes is back
I know there's gonna be a lot of conversations after tonight
Khaled, I love you, I know you got k**ers in Miami
Please do not send 'em at my head
I just wanna have a conversation about how we playing radio's gaming
Khaled, you a real n***a
Khaled, you a real n***a, you got the keys
But as we learned, all them politics that n***as was doing for years
Obama couldn't make America great, cause he couldn't be him
To be who he was
Black men have been slaves
Obama wasn't allowed to do this:
[Kanye screams and flails his arms erratically]
And still win, he had to be perfect!
But being perfect don't always change sh**, bro
Being perfect don't always change sh**, bro
So when I talk about MTV, let me explain something
I was hurt, Beyoncé, I was hurt
Because I wanted to present a video called "Fade"
And outta respect MTV told me
"Mr. West, out of respect to you, I will let you know
That Beyoncé is winning the video tonight for "Formation"
Over "Hotline Bling", and "Famous"
They told me beforehand so I wouldn't run on stage
Ayy bro, y'all ain't gotta f** with me
But you know I got the vision
And you know Imma keep it real witchu
Beyoncé, I was hurt
I went down 7 years on behalf of yo -
[A fan throws a hat onto Kanye's floating stage]
Ayy n***a, don't throw no sh** while I'm talking
I am putting my career, my life, my public-well-standing
At risk when I talk to y'all like this
This is a moment in The Matrix, bro
The vibes is back
The vibes is back, mof**as might feel a way about this tonight
Beyoncé, I was hurt
Cause I heard that you said you wouldn't perform
Unless you won Video of the Year over me, and over "Hotline Bling"
In my opinion - now don't go tryna diss Beyoncé
She is great, Taylor Swift is great
We are all great people
We are all equal
But sometimes we be playing the politics too much
And forgetting who we are
Just to win, f** winning!
f** looking cool!
f** looking cool!
f** being cool!
f** all that, brah!
I been sent here to give y'all my truth, even at the risk of my own life
Even at the risk of my own success
My own career
I've been sent here to give y'all the truth
Jay Z, call me brah!
You still ain't call me!
Jay Z, call me!
Ayy brah, Jay Z I know you got k**as
Please don't send 'em at my head!
Just call me!
Talk to me like a man!
I'm not tryna be "the man" - I just am "a man"
The same as everybody here
I ain't above, below - none of y'all
We all equal! We all equal!
These is the vibes, bro!
This is the future
This is the way of thinking, to Make America Great Again
You like that, guess what?! Guess what?!
Y'all need the vibes
I was hurt, feelings matter, bro
The way mof**as put money up, so high
Popularity, radio spins
Feelings matter, bro
Feelings matter, bro
It's a new world, Hillary Clinton!
It's a new world, feelings matter!
Cause guess what?!
Everybody in middle America felt a way
And they showed you how they felt
Feelings matter, bro. It's a new world!
It's a new world, Barack!
It's a new world, Jay Z!
Ayy, don't send k**as at my head, bro!

Let Ye be Ye!
Oh wait a second, do y'all agree with that?
Let Ye be Ye!
Wait a second - I didn't hear no screams on that
Let Ye be Ye!
People, I'm not saying this out of my own well-being
Cause it wouldn't be smart outta my own well-being to say things like this
Radio, I done talk to you a bunch of motherf**ing times
Y'all motherf**as is behind the times
Cause guess what?!
The Saint Pablo Tour is the most relevant sh** happening
The Saint Pablo Tour more relevant than radio!
And if y'all still keep following old models
Yo a**es gonna get Hillary Clinton'd
You might not like it but they've gotta hear it
I ain't here to ma**age you with the fake truth
Telling you that Hillary gon win over and over and over
Then you wake up, you still can't believe it!
You know why? Cause you was lied to by Google!
You was lied to by Mark Zuckerberg!
Mark Zuckerberg you wanna call me, now?
You ain't got the vision, Mark Zuckerberg?!
Was you wrong when I said I was 53 million dollars in debt and you didn't call me?!
Was you wrong?!
You ate dinner, you asked my friend Anthony Schiller to have dinner with me
I told you about DONDA
You said you would help, and you didn't!
Then you went to look for aliens
Me and Kid Cudi are aliens right here, bro!
The vibes is back!
Ayy John - take, take me all the way back to
Take me all the way back to the thing
Shia Labeouf, Kid Cudi feels a way, give him a call
Q-Tip, I love you bro, don't tell me how to be me though
I love you, the Tribe album is dope
I love you, don't tell me how to be me though
I've been me, I am me
There's a Richard Pryor interview that you can watch
About people coming into power and not changing anything
Just becoming part of the power
That's happened with musicians, cause they scared
I'm not scared; I'm here to change things
I am here to change things
And things won't change until people admit they own falsehoods
I've got the vision, bro
That is what I've been blessed with, my vision
I'm not always going to say things the perfect way, the right way
But Imma say how I feel
Right now, I will prepare
Right now, press
