Blame Game Lyrics

who's fault?

let's play the blame / game / I love you more
let's play the blame / game / for sure
let's call out names / names / I hate you more
let's call out names / names / for sure

I'll call you bitch for short
as a last resort and a first resort
you call me motherfucker for long
at the end of it / you know we both were wrong

but I love to paly the blame / game / I love you more
let's play the blame / game / for sure
let's call out names / names / I hate you more
let's call out names / names / for sure

on the bathroom wall, I wrote, I'd rather argue with you than to be with someone else

I took a piss and dismissed it, like, fuck it, and I went and found somebody else

fuck arguin' or harvestin' the feelings, yo, I'd rather be by my fuckin' self

'til about two AM and I call back and I hang up and I start to blame myself
somebody, help

you weren't perfect but you made life worth it
stick around, some real feelings might surface
been a long time since I spoke to you
in a bathroom / grippin' you up / fuckin' and chokin' you
what the hell was I supposed to do?
I know you ain't gettin' this type of dick from that local dude
and, if you are, I hope you have a good time
'cause I definitely be havin' mine
and you ain't gonna see a / mogul get emotional
every time I hear about / other niggas is strokin' you
lie and say I hit you / he's sittin' there, consolin' you
rubbin' my name through the mud / who's provokin' you?
you should be grateful a nigga like me ever noticed you
now, you noticeable and can't nobody get control of you
one AM and can't nobody get a hold of you
I'm callin' your brother's phone, like, what was I supposed to do?
even though I knew / he never told the truth
he was just gon' say whatever that you told him to
at a certain point, I had to stop askin' questions
check out dirt on each other like mud wrestlers
I heard he bought some coke with my money / that ain't right, girl
you gettin' blackmailed / for that white, girl
you always said, Yeezy, I ain't your right girl
you'll probably find one of them I-like-art-type girls
all of the lights / she was caught in the hype, girl
and I was satisfied bein' in love with the lie
now, who to blame? / you to blame? / me to blame / for the pain?
and it poured every time when it rained

things used to be / now, they not
anything but us is who we are
disguisin' ourselves as secret lovers
we've become public enemies
we walk away like strangers in the street / gone for eternity
we erase one another
so far from where we came / with so much of everything
how did we leave with nothing?
lack of visual empathy equates the meaning of L-O-V-E
hatred and attitude tear us entirely

Chloe Mitchell

I can't love you this much / I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much / I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much / no, I can't love you this much
I can't love you this much / I can't love you this much

and I know that you are somwhere / doin' your thing
and, when the phone call, it just rang and rang
you ain't pick up / but your phone accidentally called me back
and I heard the whole thing

I heard the whole thing / whole thing / whole thing / whole thing ...

Cover art for Blame Game lyrics by Kanye West

This song might have specific meaning or relevance to a particular situation involving Kanye and a past relationship, however I think that the meaning is simpler.

It feels like when a relationship is winding down. You start to fight more and more, you're not necessarily good for one another, but you still know each other's ins and outs sexually. When you eventually break-up it's about the paranoia of how the person who you've honed sexually is now using all your tricks on someone else. It's hard to stomach and it makes you want to go back even though you have so many more emotional problems. Everyone has been here before.

My Interpretation

Is Chris Rock's part the conversation that Ye is saying he heard the whole thing of?
