Violent Nights (Demo)*

by Kanye West

on Unreleased Songs

Lyrics from Snippet

[Intro: 070 Shake]
Fallin', dreamin', talkin' in your sleep
I know you want to cry all night, all night
Plottin', schemin', findin'
Reason to defend all of your violent nights
Promise me you will see

[Chorus 1: 070 Shake & Ty Dolla $ign]
Don't you grow up in a hurry, your mom'll be worried, aw
It was all part of the story, even the scary nights
Thank you for all of the glory, you will be remembered, aw
Thank you to all of the heroes of the night (Night, night)
They gotta repaint the colors, the lie is wearin' off
Reality is upon us, colors drippin' off
Colors drippin' off

[Verse: Chance the Rapper]
Sturdy, solid and sturdy, voice of a birdie
Told me, "Just stay determined [?]
[?] pretty and curvy, developed early
[?]
[?] "hurt me," she just kept yelling "hurt me!
Slap me and choke me and curse me!"
She still got wounds from the nursery
This is the woman who nursed me
[?]
So long that they don't know the difference and sex for her now is a bad anniversary
She want the alley like Kirsty, she don't remember the first me
Someone went into her purse and she just wanna know when they gon' reimburse me
She don't want no one [?], she don't want no one to court her
She don't want no one to curtsy, you know how people in church be
Callin' her fast but no one'll ask like, "Who the fuck put her at her speed?"
She [?] and all of this happened at thirteen

[Chorus 2: Chance the Rapper]
Don't you grow up in a hurry, your momma be worried now
Don't people owe you a sorry, but that's not your story now
Don't you grow up in a hurry, in a hurry, in a hurry
Hurry, hurry
Don't you grow up in a hurry, in a hurry now
In a hurry now
