Cool Quote of the Week


Have you ever felt like you gave everything you had to something, until you were consumed by the beast you created? Yes. That was rhetorical. This week’s cool quote comes from one of the most emotional entertainers today, Kanye West. In this song he pours out every tear he had sitting in the bucket under his mothers hospital bed. I think that this new album, 808’s and Heartbreak, should be dedicated to his former fiance’. Although his voice may be altered by a computer, his lyrics are raw, remorseful, spiteful, yet apologetic. You call it schizophrenia, I call it creativity.

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear ’em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul.
to a woman so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 1]
How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo.
just remember that you talkin’ to me though.
you know need to watch the way you talkin’ to me yo. i mean after all the things that we’ve been through.
i mean after all the things we got into.
hey yo, i know of some things that you aint told me.
hey yo, i did some things but that’s the old me.
and now you wanna get me back and you goin’ show me.
so you walk around like you dont know me.
you got a new friend, well i got homies.
but in the end it’s still so lonely.

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear ’em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul.
to a woman so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 2]
How could be so Dr. Evil, you bringin’ out the side of me that i dont know..
i decided we weren’t goin’ speak so.
why we up 3 A.M. on the phone.
why does she be so mad at me fo’.
homie i dont know, she’s hot and cold.
i wont stop, i wont mess my groove up
cause i already know how this thing go.
you run and tell your friends that you leaving me.
they say that they dont see what you see in me.
you wait a couple months then you gon’ see.
you’ll never find nobody better than me.

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear ’em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul.
to a woman so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

[Verse 3]
Talkin’, talkin’, talkin’, talk
baby lets just knock it off
they dont know what we been through
they dont know ’bout me and you
so i got something new to see
and you just gon’ keep hatin’ me
and we just gon’ be enemies
i know you cant believe
i could just leave it wrong
and you cant make it right
im gon’ take off tonight
into the night..

[Chorus]
In the night, i hear ’em talk,
the coldest story ever told.
somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul.
to a woman so heartless..
how could you be so heartless? oh.. how could you be so heartless.

Find your swank. Think insane. Be urbane.
