Donda Lyrics – Kanye West
Donda Lyrics
[Intro: Kanye West & Stalone]
Forever, yeah
Can you hear me? Yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
Glory, glory, glory, glory
[Spoken Word: Kanye West, Stalone & Donda West]
It feels good to be home
And to all of you, I thank you so much for your support
For your support of me for so many years
And more importantly, for the work you continue to do
What do you want me to talk about?
Well, he said something that was a little bit dangerous
He told me I could talk about anything I wanted to
And you know, I am my son's mother
The man I describe in the introduction as being so decidedly different
My son (When you're running outta timе and you're not outta time)
And what made thе project extra special to me is
I got a chance to share not only what he has meant to me
But what he has meant to a generation (Change the time)
As one writer said, we came from somewhere
Not just from the wombs of our mothers and the seeds of our fathers
But from a long line of generations who came before us
[Chorus: Sunday Service Choir]
It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)
It's the kingdom (It's the kingdom)
And the power (And the power)
And the glory (And the glory)
Forever (Forever)
[Outro: Kanye West, Stalone & Donda West]
Forever, yeah
Forever, yeah
Forever, forever, no
Oh yeah, glory, glory, glory
What did I teach him? (Glory)
And why Kanye ain't scared?
Donda Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "Donda" by Kanye West ft. The World Famous Tony Williams is a deeply introspective and heartfelt song paying homage to Kanye's late mother, Donda West, and reflecting on themes of family, legacy, and spirituality. It opens with an ethereal atmosphere, as Kanye and Stalone set the tone for a contemplative journey. The spoken word section by Kanye, Stalone, and Donda herself further adds layers of emotion and personal reflection.
[Intro]
The song begins with a sense of eternity, symbolized by the repetition of "Forever, yeah." Kanye and Stalone's voices seem to echo through time, inviting the listener to join them on a spiritual voyage. The mention of "glory" suggests a reverence for something greater than oneself, setting the stage for a song that delves into themes of transcendence and legacy.
[Spoken Word]
This section introduces a heartfelt expression of gratitude from Kanye and his mother, Donda. It conveys a sense of homecoming and appreciation for the support received from fans and loved ones over the years. Donda's words, particularly her reference to being "my son's mother," highlight the profound bond between mother and child, which serves as a central theme throughout the song. The mention of "change the time" hints at a desire to make a lasting impact, despite the constraints of mortality.
[Chorus]
The chorus is a powerful declaration of faith and reverence, performed by the Sunday Service Choir. It invokes biblical imagery of "the kingdom," "the power," and "the glory," suggesting a connection to spiritual themes and divine purpose. The repetition of "Forever" reinforces the idea of something enduring and eternal, transcending the temporal world.
[Outro]
The outro revisits the themes of eternity and glory, echoing the sentiments expressed in the intro. The repetition of "Forever, yeah" emphasizes the timeless nature of the message being conveyed. Donda's question, "What did I teach him?," prompts reflection on the lessons passed down through generations, while Kanye's query, "And why Kanye ain't scared?," suggests a defiance in the face of fear, perhaps fueled by the legacy of strength and resilience inherited from his mother.
