Devil In a New Dress Lyrics » Kanye West
[Produced by Bink! and Mike Dean]
[Intro: Kanye West]
Uh
Uh
I love it, though
I love it, though, huh, you know?
[Chorus: Kanye West]
Uh, put your hands to the constellations
The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation
I know I’m preachin’ to the congregation
We love Jesus, but you done learned a lot from Satan
I mean, a nigga did a lot of waiting
We ain’t married, but tonight I need some consummation
[Verse 1: Kanye West]
May the Lord forgive us, may the gods be with us
In that magic hour, I seen good Christians
Make brash decisions, oh, she do it
What happened to religion? Oh, she lose it
She putting on her makeup, she casually allure
Text message break-ups, the casualty of tour
How she gon’ wake up and not love me no more?
I thought I was the asshole, I guess it’s rubbin’ off
Hood phenomenon, the LeBron of rhyme
Hard to be humble when you stunting on a jumbotron
I’m looking at her like, “This what you really wanted, huh?”
Why we argue anyway? Oh, I forgot, it’s summertime

About Kanye West’s Devil In a New Dress from My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010)
Produced by Bink!, “Devil In a New Dress” finds Kanye using familiar religious imagery in contemplating all kinds of nasty thoughts about his girl.
It’s perhaps an ode to
Amber Rose
, Kanye’s (now ex-) girlfriend and muse, whose figure could have only been forged in the Depths of Hell by The Evil One (in a good way…)
“Devil in a New Dress” was initially released as a solo version on September 3, 2010, and was the fourth release in Kanye’s weekly GOOD Friday series. The title, of course, is a pun on the famous Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels song
“Devil with a Blue Dress On,”
as well as being a reference to the 1990 Walter Mosley book
Devil in a Blue Dress
, which was adapted into a
1995 film
starring Denzel Washington and Don Cheadle.
Fresh off of the success of his
Teflon Don
album, Miami rapper
Rick Ro$$
spits what is often regarded as one of the finest verses of his career, but it was
not the first verse he wrote for the track
:
When I recorded that verse for the first time, [Kanye] came in, heard it, he told me he thought I could do better. And he walked out. And then I wrote another one, and the second verse I wrote is the one you hear on the album.
Bink!
said the following about the production of the track
:
Kanye sent me out to Hawaii to work with him and I was actually just holding my laptop and it [the beat] came on in my iTunes. He heard it through my laptop speakers and he was immediately intrigued; I wasn’t even gonna play it for him. He overheard it and asked, ‘What’s that?’ ‘It’s another joint I got’ and he was like, ‘Bounce that down let me hit that.’ So he hopped right in the booth and the first thing he said was ‘I love it though’ and the first line he came up with was, ‘She love Jesus but she learned a lot from Satan.’ They didn’t call it ‘Devil In A New Dress’—at the time they called it something else. It was called ‘Magic Hour.’ So when ‘Devil In A New Dress’ came out, I didn’t know anything about that.

FAQs About Devil In a New Dress
What did Kanye West say about “Devil In a New Dress”?
Verified Commentary
Rick Ross
via
MTV
I got a call, they wanted me to be a part of that record. It was actually the last day before Kanye had to turn the record in, and I think that pressure just made it that much more special to me. So I just sat there, approached the record openly and as straightforward as I could. When I laid the verse, 30 minutes later, I was extremely happy. I sent it to him, and he was too. I think it was one of the dopest verses I did this year.”
