A Tribute to Donda West

It seems, Kanye West has continued on his quest to save music even in the wake of his mother's death. Dr. Donda West died recently after complications resulting from a tummy tuck and breast reduction. Dtro has received an advanced copy of Kanye's new tribute song to his mother (not to be confused with "Hey Mama" which sucks ass). Basically the song is a reimagining of Puff Daddy's "I'll be Missing You", with only a few words changed because Kanye has a hard time writing rap songs, and with a little old timey blues man singing in the background (they didn't have many intellectual property laws back then, so it's totally legal and ok for Kanye to jack songs from old black blues/gospel singers and use them in EVERY SINGLE SONG). Dtro has reprinted the lyrics below:

Seems like yesterday we used to rock the Oak
I played Atari, you bought me polos
So far from hanging on the block for dough
Oh Mama, they got to know that (Blues man: Oh lawdy)
Life in the burbs ain't what it seems to be
My words can't express your obesity
Even though you're gone, we're still a team
Fuckin Oprah fucked up your dream (Oprah)
When I die can't wait to see
If you in heaven lookin all skinny
Reminisce some time, the night doc killed my mom (Oh Lawdy)
Having flashbacks, like Vietnam
When it's real, feelings hard to conceal
Can't imagine all the pain I feel
You'd give anything to have a smaller chest (smaller chest)
I know you're still living your life, Donda West

CHORUS (same as the Faith Evans one, but sung as a duet between Alicia Keys and one of the Jonas Brothers)

Kinda hard ever since you died
Know you in heaven, where you can "Touch the Sky" (clip from song "Touch the Sky")
Watchin me while I pray for you
Every day I pray for you
Why George Bush gotta kill Saddam? (because Kanye is socially conscious)
In my heart is where I'll keep you mom
Your mammaries gave me the strength I needed to feed
Now they gone and you are deceased
My thoughts, mom, about "Jesus Walks" (clip from song "Jesus Walks")
Wish I could turn back the hands of clocks
Buyin me ChiSox caps, Starter jackets, baggy jeans
So I could pretend I was from Cabrini-Green
Made me chicken soup when I'd start to cry
Still don't know why you had to die
You'd give anything to wear a smaller dress (smaller dress)
I know you're still living your life, Donda West

CHORUS

OUTRO (hard to understand, sung by Jamie Foxx in the Ray Charles voice)


Too soon?*







*Our thoughts and prayers are with Kanye and his family at this time. I do not want to offend people with this post, just wanted to make fun of Kanye. Oh yeah, you make socially conscious statements as long as there was already a movie about it starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Seriously though, I am sorry to hear about his mom.
