Pablo Lyrics

[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
Who they waitin' on? That's Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don't go numb (Just don't go numb)
Just don't go dumb (Just don't go dumb)
Let's have some fun (Let's have some fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue, yeah)
What you waitin' on? (What you waitin' on?)

Who they waitin' on? That's Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don't go numb (Just don't go numb)
Just don't break nothin' (Just don't break nothin')
Let's just have fun (Let's just have fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue)
What you waitin' on? (What you waitin' on?)

Who they waitin' on? That's Pablo

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
I never saw this stuff as blind (Chi', Chi', Chi', Chi')
Some gon say that love is blind (Chi', Chi', Chi', Chi')
Show me something new in town (Chi', Chi', Chi', Chi')
Pick me up before I drown (Chi', Chi', Chi')
Pick me up before I drown
Pick me up before I drown
Satan himself is back in town
Pick me up before I drown
Feelin' up, uh, you wait
And I know, you ain't
Throwin' up, like, who ain't?
Throwin' up, ayy, who ain't?
Throwin' up, mmm, you can't
Run it up, mmm, you faint (You faint)

Genius Annotation

Kanye West brings “Pablo,” a trap banger with Donda 2’s executive producer Future and frequent collaborator Travis Scott. The song’s title seemingly stems from Ye’s seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo, which was inspired by Pablo Escobar, Pablo Picasso, and the Apostle Paul.

The song was spotted on the first two Donda 2 tracklists posted by Kanye on February 18 and 19, 2022. The song was debuted during the Donda 2 album listening party on February 22, at LoanDepot Park in Miami, Florida. The next day, the song was one of the first four songs to be officially released exclusively on the Stem Player.

On March 7, when the album became available to stream on the Stem Player website for the device owners, “Pablo,” alongside “Security” became temporarily available for everyone.

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

Producer ATL JACOB shared some words about the song’s production process in a June 1, 2022 interview with XXL:

‘Pablo,’ I made that one with this producer team FnZ. They did the loop, but I had made the beat. The beat was actually sped up. Kanye had this idea to morph the beat and slow it down where it still stretched like that, but it still hits. So, shout-out to Kanye for that idea, too. It was different, you know? I feel like that’s Kanye’s first club song in a long time.
