Kanye West
Track: Facts
Verse: 

Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman

Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, I feel so accomplished
I done talked a lot of shit but I just did the numbers
Herzog and Adidas, man you know they love it
If Nike ain’t have Drizzy, man they wouldn’t have nothin’, woo!
If Nike ain’t have Don C, man they wouldn’t have nothin’, ooh!
But I’m all for the family, tell ’em get your money
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, they line up for days
Nike out here bad, they can’t give shit away
I stuck to my roots, I’m like Jimmy Fallon
I ain’t dropped the album but the shoes went platinum
Every time I talk they say I’m too aggressive
I was out here spazzin’, all y’all get the message?
On the field I’m over reckless, on my Odell Beckham
2020, I’ma run the whole election
I’ve been trending years, y’all a couple days
Yeezy in the house and we just got appraised
Nike Nike treat employees just like slaves
Gave LeBron a billi’ not to run away
10 thousand dollar fur for Nori, I just copped it
Your baby daddy won’t even take your daughter shoppin’
I done wore designers I won’t wear again
Make them niggas famous, they get arrogant

Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy just jumped over Jumpman

Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, this is pure luxury
I give ’em grey poupon on a DJ Mustard
If you ain’t poppin’ shit then why you rap for? Haaan?
Plus Kimoji just shut down the app store
And we made a million a minute, we made a million a minute
(We did)
Yeah, we made a million a minute, we made a million a minute
Do anybody feel bad for Bill Cosby?
Did he forget the names just like Steve Harvey? (Yo!)
Tell Adidas that we need a million in production (Yo!)
I done told y’all, all I needed was the infrastructure
Now we hottest in the streets, it ain’t no discussion
James Harden, Swaggy P runnin’ up the budget
Keep the work at my baby mama’s mama’s house
I’m a jerk, you need to work, you need to call my spouse
Yeezy, Yeezy, take a picture with me on Rodeo
Yeezy, Yeezy, Yeezy, I might do my own hotel
Couches, couches, couches, couches, which one should I pick?
I need extra deep, I like my bitches extra thick
Every time I see the news, man it bring me home
Call up DJ Mano, shout out Twilite Tone
We just blessed to be alive, yeah ain’t that the truth?
So let’s celebrate the life of Timbuck2
Timbuck2, Timbuck2, Timbuck2
Timbuck2, Timbuck2

Talk your shit Ye. A last minute addition to the 2015 New Year’s playlist, Kanye West drops the track Facts and proceeds to throw shade at Nike for 3 and a half minutes. Regardless of which side of the Nike vs. adidas battle you align with, competition is the best thing for business. 2016 is going to be a great year for sneakers.
