Otis Lyrics » Kanye West

[Produced by Kanye West]
[Intro: Otis Redding &
JAY-Z
]
It makes it easier, easier to bear
You won’t regret it, no, no, no
Some girls, they don’t forget it
Love is their only happiness
Squee’— Squee’— Squee’—
(
Sounds so soulful, don’t you agree?
)
Squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave her
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
Uh, I invented swag
Poppin’ bottles, puttin’ supermodels in the cab
Proof
I guess I got my swagger back, truth
New watch alert, Hublots
Or the big-face Rollie, I got two of those
Arm out the window, through the city, I maneuver slow
Cock back, snapback, see my cut through the holes, Hov
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
Damn, Yeezy and Hov, where the hell you been?
Niggas talking real reckless, stuntmen
I adopted these niggas, Phillip Drummond them
Now I’m ’bout to make ’em tuck they whole summer in
They say I’m crazy, well, I’m ’bout to go dumb again
They ain’t seen me ’cause I pulled up in my other Benz
Last week, I was in my other, other Benz
Throw your diamonds up ’cause we in this bitch another ‘gain

About Kanye West’s Otis from Watch the Throne (2011)

The second single from
Watch the Throne,
“Otis” has Yeezus flipping a portion of a classic
Otis Redding
track into an entire instrumental. He formed the track after his mentor
No I.D.
presented him with
a producing challenge.
West incorporates a slowed-down refrain from Redding’s infamous
“Try a Little Tenderness”
at the beginning of the track, then chops and reworks the piano sample before ushering in the heavy bass line and drums. The production received critical praise for its similarity to his
Blueprint
and
College Dropout
-era of soul-sampling production.
“Otis” debuted at #47 on the
Billboard
“Hot 100” chart after a partial week of sales and airplay. It would
peak at #12
on the chart; and as of September 2014 it has been
certified 2x Platinum
by the
RIAA
for over two million single sales.
On July 7, 2011, “Otis” was one of the tracks
previewed by Jay
at a private album listening session at the
Mercer Hotel
– the
location of the track’s recording
in June 2011. The track was publicly
premiered by Funkmaster Flex
on his
Hot 97
radio show on July 20, and was released onto the Internet the day afterward to critical and public acclaim.

How did this highly memorable beat come about?
Bu Thiam,
Def Jam
Vice-President of A&R at the time, was with Hov and Yeezy throughout the album’s recording process and saw how the duo came up with several of the
Watch the Throne
tracks. Here he
recalls the story
of the origin of the now-classic “Otis,” recorded in June 2011:
[Kanye] was late for his flight, we were in the studio working all day and so he was late for his flight. As we were leaving he was like, ‘Yo hold on for a second.’ So he drops his bags and goes to the MPC … and he’s just fucking with [the beat]. What’s so crazy is the whole time he’s doing that Jay is writing his verses in his head. But Jay is watching the NBA playoffs, I think it was the championship; Miami Heat and the Dallas Mavericks. So Jay is watching the playoffs. I’m not even thinking Jay is paying attention to what ‘Ye is doing and by the time he is finished Jay is like ‘I invented swag…’ And I’m like, ‘What the fuck just happened?!’“
