"Hurricane": "Ask Kim"
On the track, Kanye raps, "Heated by the rumors, read into it too much / Fiendin' for some true love, ask Kim, 'What do you love?' / Hard to find what the truth is, but the truth was that the truth suck / Always seem to do stuff, but this time it was too much."
"Hurricane": "New Chick":
Kanye also raps, "Here I go actin' too rich, here I go with a new chick." While he does not name the mystery woman, the album was released more than two months after the rapper was spotted vacationing with supermodel Irina Shayk. The two cooled things off after a couple of months.
A source close to her told E! News, "It was never serious. [Kanye] wanted to pursue something with Irina that wasn't going to happen. He got very busy with work, and they were in different places. It kind of fizzled out from there. They are still friendly and there's a lot of mutual respect. It just was never going to turn into a full-blown relationship."
"Hurricane": "Never Went Home"
Also on "Hurricane," Kanye references the Southern California home he and Kim bought in 2014 and later renovated to feature a mostly white interior. Architectual Digest featured it in a 2020 issue, along with an interview with the couple.
"Architectural Digest, but I needed home improvement," Kanye raps. "Sixty-million-dollar home, never went home to it."
In 2019, Kanye purchased a $14 million ranch in Wyoming. He later spent much time there away from his wife and children. In January, a month before the divorce filing, a source told E! News that it had gotten to the point where the pair hadn't spent time together as a married couple in months, adding, "They've seen each other for the sake of the kids but have been living separately. Kim knows the marriage is over. She's known for a while."
In February 2021, a source close to Kim said Kanye remains "a big part" of his kids' lives, who have "primarily been with Kim and living at the house" in Southern California. "Any time Kanye wants to see them, he can," the insider added. "She is not stopping him."
"Off the Grid": "Had to Move Away"
"Off the Grid" includes the lyrics, "Had to move away from people that's miserable" and "We off the grid, grid, grid / This for my kid, kid, kid, kid / For when my kid, kid, kids have kids / Everything we did for the crib."
"Off the Grid": "Fell in Love With Me"
On this track, Kanye raps, "I pray that my family they never resent me / And she fell in love with me as soon she met me."
"Come to Life:" North West Shout-Out
On the track, Kanye sings, "Brought a gift to Northie, all she want was Nikes."
"Lord I Need You": "Give Me a Ring"
"When you said give me a ring, you really meant a ring, huh?" Kanye raps. "Turned out to be more than just a fling, huh?"
The song also contains the lyrics "You know you'll always be my favorite prom queen."
"Lord I Need You:" A Gesture of Love
On the track, Kanye raps, "But you came here to show that you still in love with me."
"Lord I Need You:" "Baby Mama" Drama
"Cussin' at your baby mama," Kanye raps. "Guess that's why they call it custody."
He and Kim have yet to finalize their divorce. Both are seeking joint custody of their kids.
"Lord I Need You": "Freedom"
On the song, Kanye alludes to a relationship break or breakup. The track includes the lyrics, "Startin' to feel like you ain't been happy for me lately, darlin' / 'Member when you used to come around and serenade me, woah / But I guess it's gone different in a different direction lately / Tryna do the right thing with the freedom that you gave me."
"Jail": "Change My Number"
Kanye sings, "Better that I change my number so you can't explain."
In March 2021, a month after Kim filed for divorce, a source told E! News that Kanye "changed his phone number," adding, "Kim can't reach him directly. He will communicate with the kids through their team and coordinate sleepovers and such."
"Jail": "Single Life"
Also on "Jail," Kanye sings, "Guess who's getting 'exed? / You made a choice that's your bad, single life ain't so bad."
