Kanye West "Love Lockdown"

I’m not lovin' you
Way I wanted to
What I had to do
Had to run from you
I’m in love with you
But the vibe is wrong
And that haunted¹ me all the way home

So you never know
Never, never know
Never know enough
Til it’s over love
Til we lose control
System overload
Screamin’ no, no, no, no, no

I’m not lovin' you
Way I wanted to
See I want to move
But can’t escape from you
So I keep it low
Keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool
So I keep it true
I got something to lose
So I gotta move
I can’t keep myself
And still keep you too

So I keep in mind
When I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home
In the danger zone
How many times did I tell you
‘fore it finally got through
You lose, you lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
See I had to go
See I had to move
No more wasting time
You can’t wait for life
We’re just racing² time
Where’s the finish line

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
I bet³ no one knew
I got no one new
No, I said I’m through
But got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to

Gotta keep it going
Keep the lovin’ going
Keep it on a roll
Only god knows
If I’ll be with you
Baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose

I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to
Where I want to go
I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road
Too many times before
I’m not lovin’ you
Way I wanted to

So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

You lose
You lose
You lose
You lose

歌手介绍:

Kanye West是一位非常勤奋努力，非常具有才华的说唱音乐制作人，同时还是非常有灵感的说唱歌曲创作者，这张专辑早在一年半以前就已经准备录制发行，但是Kanye West遭遇了严重车祸，因而被迫推迟，随后又因为为了一些大牌歌星制作单曲而被迫再次推迟。所以这次发行之前已经在商业上打下了坚实的基础

虽然Kanye West是一名非常出色的唱片制作人，但是其说唱音乐的演唱能力却并无出奇之处。不过Kanye West的创作才华在这张专辑中表现的比较充分。除了个人创作几乎所有单曲之外，在歌词上也有很多非常精妙的比喻，诙谐有趣并且押韵，还有几段颇为经典的荤段子，同时专辑中体现出了Kanye West个人一贯的创作和制作特点，比如在音乐中引用一些老歌的精华。
