What are the lyrics to Kanye West's new song City of Gods?
Amid Kanye's very public divorce from Kim Kardashian, he has used his music a number of times to throw shade at his soon-to-be ex-wife.
In his newest song City of Gods, he takes aim at Kim and her new boyfriend Pete Davidson again as he is seen rapping about "pulling up to SNL."
The track, which dropped at midnight on February 11 and features Alicia Keys, Playboi Carti, and Fivio Foreign, includes the lyrics:
Chorus: Alicia Keys and Playboi Carti
"New York City, please go easy on me tonight
New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine (What?)"
Verse 1: Fivo Foreign and Playboi Carti
"Yeah, look, huh, ni**a, this is my city
Welcome to the city of Gods (What?)
Pop was the king of New York, now I’m the ni**a in charge
Only the drillers, the city is ours
We found out the opps and we pick ’em apart
I give ’em my time so I give ’em my heart
If the city love me, then I’m really a star (What?)"

Verse 3: Kanye West and Playboi Carti
"We went off the grid (What?)
We ain’t watch the throne, we took it
We went viral on ’em, they lookin’
It’s a Sunday Service in Brooklyn (What?)
It’s the city that come with the lights
I’m with the drillers that come with the night
They ain’t do four years in college, but they’ll do twenty five to life
We make money every night (What?)
Never too big of a price (What?)
After I buy the Chicago Bulls (What?), I’ma go link with Mike (What?)
And if I let ’em have my wife, ni**as should thank me
"With this Balenciaga and Balenci’ boots and a new blue Yankee
This is Ye, I’m so focused, throw on a mask, no Covid
I’ma turn your life to a meme, let Justin LaBoy post it
You got an album, postpone it
I drop two and they both going
I got a feeling they in they feelings
They filmin’ a show, but won’t show it
You gotta watch me in slow motion, I’m in a wide-body Benz
I go back to college, do an album and then drop out again
It took a minute to get here, my vision is crystal clear
Ayy, Fivi’, excuse me, but this the feature of the year
I feel like Sinatra in these streets, me and Drizzy, we at peace
This the backpack with the Polo and the first Jesus piece
I’m from the Chi’ but I’m always New York
The city that treat me like Jesus is walkin’
I been through the pain and all of the torment
I’m sayin’ His name, I make it important (What?)
Now it’s time to give ’em hell
Ask my staff, I pay ’em well
"This afternoon, a hundred goons pullin’ up to SNL (What?)
When I pull up, it’s dead on arrival
They act like they love you, they don’t even like you
They throw a party, won’t even invite you
I seen the same thing happen to Michael
You black and you rich, they sayin’ you psycho (What?), it’s like a cycle
If you text me anything hype you better text back and say it’s a typo
The city of Gods, no city is like you
This the new New York, Ye is the goat
Fivi’ is viral and this is the B.I.B.L.E (What?)"
Chorus: Alicia Keys and Fivio Foreign
"New York City, please go easy on me tonight (What the f***?, the f***?)
(What, the f***?) New York City, please go easy on this heart of mine
‘Cause I’m losing my lover to the arms of another
New York City, please go easy on me"
Outro: Alicia Keys
"Don’t leave me, go easy, go easy, go easy
Don’t leave me, go easy, go easy, go easy
Don’t leave me, go easy, go easy, go easy
New York City, please go easy on me
Has Kanye rapped about Pete Davidson before?
A month prior to the drop of Kanye's latest song, he dropped another single called "Eazy" which also took aim at the SNL star.
Kayne dropped the song, which features The Game, on January 16, 2022, and it includes threats by the rapper to “kick Pete Davidson's a**."
The full verse is:
"Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door
What you think the point of really bein' rich for?
When you give 'em everything, they only want more
Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores
Rich-a** kids, this ain't yo' mama house
Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that Top Ramen out
God saved me from that crash
Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's a** (who?)"
