Hold My Liquor

About Hold My Liquor

"Hold My Liquor" is a song by American hip hop recording artist Kanye West, from his sixth studio album Yeezus (2013). It was primarily produced by West and longtime collaborator Mike Dean, who also provides a guitar solo, with additional production from Arca and Noah Goldstein. It features vocals from rapper Chief Keef and singer-songwriter Justin Vernon of Bon Iver. Built upon a pulsating synth beat with metallic stabs, the song sees West stumble into an ex-girlfriend's home for reckless sex, with lyrics that contain references to substance abuse, relationships, and self-image. The song received very positive reviews from music critics, who praised its instrumental, West's verse, Dean's guitar solo, and the performances of Vernon and Chief Keef; one reviewer of Complex magazine placed the song on his list of the best songs of 2013. Despite its acclaim, the song was one of the worst-performing songs on Yeezus, only charting in the United States on Billboard's Bubbling Under Hot 100, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and On-Demand Songs charts. West performed the song live on the Yeezus Tour and at the Glastonbury Festival in 2015. It was covered by both Lorde and ceo in 2013. more »

I can hold my liquor
What this man can’t handle is me
Dark and lonely now
On Chicago, south of town
I'm on to Indiana
I heard it in the radio now

I can't handle no liquor
But these bitches can't handle me
I can't control my niggas
And my niggas they can't control me
You say you know me, my nigga
But you really just know the old me

Bitch I'm back out my coma
Waking up on your sofa
When I park my Range Rover
Slightly scratch your Corolla
Okay, I smashed your Corolla
I'm hanging on a hangover
Five years we been over
Ask me why I came over
One more hit and I can own ya
One more f*ck and I can own ya
One cold night in October
Pussy had me floating
Feel like Deepak Chopra
Pussy had me dead
Might call 2Pac over
Yeezy's all on you sofa
These the red Octobers
Still ain't learn me no manners
You love me when I ain't sober
You love me when I'm hungover
Even when I blow doja
Then her auntie came over
Skinny bitch with no shoulders
Tellin' you that I'm bogus
Bitch you don't even know us
"Baby girl, he's a loner
Baby girl, he's a loner
Late night organ donor
After that he disown ya
After that he's just hopeless
Soul mates become soulless
When he's sober it's over"
And bitch, I'm back out my coma

Callin' up your uncle's place
Shit's all over the place
I don't hear your phone
Oh I wanna phone home

I can't handle no liquor
But these bitches can't handle me
I can't control my niggas
And my niggas they can't control me
You say you know me, my nigga
But you really just know the old me

I heard you need a new fad
I heard you need a new stack
I heard you need a new phone
I know your 'rents ain't be home

Callin' up your uncle's place
Shit's all over the place
I don't hear your phone
Oh I wanna phone home
