IN CASE U MISSED IT: KANYE SWITCHES UP “POWER” LYRICS ON “SNL”

Tweet

Kanye took the stage this weekend on Saturday Night Live on NBC to perform “Power” and “Runaway”. Aside from both sets being spectacular, if you didn’t listen closely you probably missed the fact that Kanye changed his “Power” lyrics so that he wouldn’t diss SNL. Originally ‘Ye rhymes:
“F— ‘SNL’ and the whole cast,” he originally sang. “Tell ‘em Yeezy said they can kiss my whole a–.”
But after an ackward run-in with one of the show’s executive producers, Kanye changed his rhymes to:
“The brown hero, live from Ground Zero/Machine gun flow, made her get a Ross Perot,” he sang instead. “And this is disestablishmentarianism / With my night goggles on, got military vision And it’s still a very Christian way to think about livin’/ When you prayin’ for freedom ’cause your mind been in prison/’Cause they tryin’ to control every single big decision.”

Here he is performing “Runaway” w/Pusha-T.

Too bad he opted not to do any skits, surely that would’ve added some entertainment to the show’s weak episode.
