I Thought About Killing You Lyrics » Kanye West

[Intro: Francis and the Lights &
Kanye West
]
I know, I know, I know, I know, know
I know, I know, I know, I know, know
I, I know it, I know it
[Spoken Word: Kanye West]
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest
Today, I seriously thought about killing you
I contemplated, premeditated murder
And I think about killing myself
And I love myself way more than I love you, so…
Today, I thought about killing you, premeditated murder
You’d only care enough to kill somebody you love
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest
(
Mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhmm
)
Just say it out loud to see how it feels
People say “don’t say this, don’t say that”
Just say it out loud, just to see how it feels
Weigh all the options, nothing’s off the table
Today, I thought about killing you, premeditated murder
I think about killing myself
And I, I love myself way more than I love you
The most beautiful thoughts are always besides the darkest
(
Mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhm—mhmm
)
I think this is the part where I’m supposed to say somethin’ good to compensate it so it doesn’t come off bad
But sometimes I think really bad things
Really, really, really bad things
And I love myself way more than I love you
See, if I was tryin’ to relate it to more people
I’d probably say I’m struggling with loving myself
Because that seems like a common theme
But that’s not the case here
I love myself way more than I love you
And I think about killing myself
So, best believe, I thought about killing you today
Premeditated murder

About Kanye West’s I Thought About Killing You from ye (2018)

“I Thought About Killing You” is the opening track from Kanye West’s eighth studio album,
ye
. The song debuted during West’s album premiere in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on May 31, 2018. Kanye discusses mental strength, different forms of love, and not letting his opponents get to him. He discusses his dark thoughts at length throughout emotional passages, revealing his struggle with suicidal ideation. During the spoken-word segment, Kanye uses a pitch-shift effect on his voice, signifying the bipolar nature of the conversation he’s having with himself.
He also refers to
his opioid addiction
, which can cause
harsh side effects
—including depression and suicidal thoughts,
respiratory depression
, or a reduced ability to breathe, and more. This is further explored in the next track,
“Yikes.”
In an interview with
The New York Times
, Kanye was asked how much of the song is meant to be literal and how much of it is metaphorical, and he responded, “I’ve thought about killing myself all the time. It’s always a option and [expletive]. Like Louis C.K. said: I flip through the manual. I weigh all the options.”
At 3:10, the beat switches to a more atmospheric and aggressive mood. This section samples the 2017 track
“Fr3sh” by Kareem Lotfy
, which was released on the compilation
Mono No Aware
, put together by Berlin-based record label,
Pan
. Kanye spent some
alone-time in Berlin
around the time of the 2018 Grammys; one of the few moments he was spotted in public during his hiatus while creating this album. On November 7, 2018, the beat switch was updated to not include Kareem’s sample, but rather a similar interpolation of it. This change is most prevalent in the Spotify version.
Pitchfork
reported
that the band didn’t receive proper credit for the sample. Francis, of
Francis and the Lights
, reached out on
Twitter
, stating that he added the beat last minute and meant no harm or foul play.

Oh yeah, I’ve thought about killing myself all the time. It’s always a option and [expletive]. Like Louis C.K. said: I flip through the manual. I weigh all the options.
I’m just having this epiphany now, ’cause I didn’t do it, but I did think it all the way through. But if I didn’t think it all the way through, then it’s actually maybe more of a chance of it happening.
