Kanye Omari West ( /ˈkɑːnjeɪ/; born June 8, 1977) is an American musician, film director and fashion designer. West first rose to fame as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records, where he eventually achieved recognition for his work on Jay-Z's album The Blueprint, as well as hit singles for musical artists including Alicia Keys, Ludacris, and Janet Jackson. His style of production originally used pitched-up vocal samples from soul songs incorporated with his own drums and instruments. However, subsequent productions saw him broadening his musical palette and expressing influences encompassing '70s R&B, baroque pop, trip hop, arena rock, folk, alternative, electronica, synthpop, and classical music. more »

I'm callin (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Out to (I want you to myself I can't help it) 
All my (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Y'all my, ladies and I can't (maybe I'm selfish) 
(I can't) Let you (let you) 
(I want you to myself I can't help it) 
Be with (yeah) no one (yeah) but me (yeah) baby 

To my thick chicks down in Texas 
All the way to New Orleans where the girls cook catfish 
And in LA every chick's an actress 
Hollywood status with the shaded glasses 
To Detroit, yeah the place that I rest 
Where the ladies got ass to sell alot sex 
And Hot Atlanta y'all is one of the best 
Where they speak southern and slang and smoke la cess 
And New York women are way too fresh 
Too much on your mind let me ease that stress 
I wish you all were mine it's so selfish 
Maybe I'm feelin myself too much I guess 
But, to my ladies all across the globe 
In small towns that I don't even know 
To all local international codes 
Whether you see me in streets or catch me at shows, I'm callin... 

I'm callin (yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Out to (I want you to myself I can't help it) 
All my (yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Y'all my ladies and I can't (maybe I'm selfish) 
(I can't) Let you (let you) 
(I want you to myself I can't help it) 
Be with (yeah) no one (yeah) but me (yeah) baby 

Uh! And I'll be tryin to come around my girl actin like Mr. Friendly 
And steal the spotlight like Mr. Bentley 
I spotted her like Spud McKenzie 
And for them fake boobies I payed them Benjies 
Get your own, I got Paris he got Nicky he tried to get ?em a clone 
He said yeah you know you got extra hoes 
And everything you do is extra cold 
From the Polo fleece to the Jesus piece 
I got family in high places like Jesus' niece 
Can I please, say my peace 
If y'all fresh to death, then I'm deceased 
And this one here, is a heat rocks 
Spit like a beat box, the way the beat rocks 
New version of Pete Rock! 
But for that Benz I get CL love 
So I switch my girls around like 3L-dub [3LW] 
I'm callin.. 

I'm callin (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Out to (I want you to myself I can't help it) 
All my (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Y'all my ladies and I can't (maybe I'm selfish) 
(I can't) Let you (let you) 
(I want you to myself I can't help it) 
Be with (Yeah) no one (Yeah) but me (Yeah) baby 

What up Pam how your little man doin in New Jersey 
Last I heard he caught the flu and you was worried 
Hope he feels better, and thanks Jonetta from Cleveland 
For that good head in your Jetta better believe it 
Shanice you're my piece from Compton 
Before I mark the plane make sure you cop them trees to spark up 
Danielle ATL got them pictures in the mail 
You sealed with a kiss and you send it with Chanel 
You lookin good in that one showin off your body 
Had a Beverly Hills mami that would buy me Cardi's 
Take me to after parties her name was Carrie 
And it sucks that we didn't keep in touch I'm sorry 
But, hey Kim how's Minneapolis? 
You so pretty hate to show off your titties for silly classes 
Cause I love you girls though you ain't mine 
I wish my arms was long enough to hug you all of the same time 

I'm callin (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Out to (I want you to myself I can't help it) 
All my (Yeah maybe I'm selfish) 
Y'all my ladies and I can't (maybe I'm selfish) 
(I can't) Let you (let you) 
(I want you to myself I can't help it) 
Be with (Yeah) no one (Yeah) but me (Yeah) baby 

I'm callin (Callin) out to (Out to) all my (All My) 
Y'all my, ladies and I can't (I Can't) let you (Let you) 
Be with, no one, but me, baby
