It's fitting that a character like Kanye West would use a divisive sports figure like Barry Bonds as the inspiration for his newest song. He teamed up (ha! get it?) with the ubiquitous Lil Wayne for the new track.
The chorus goes, "Here's another hit, Barry Bonds."
As he's been doing on "Can't Tell Me Nothing," its remix and "Stronger," West uses "Barry Bonds" in part to proclaim his continued evolution as one of the top lyricists in the game.
"You should go 'head and bow so hard that you knees hit your fo'head," he raps over slow synths. "And the flow just hit code red/ Top five MCs, you ain't gotta remind me/ Top five MCs, you gotta rewind me/ I'm high up on the line, you could get in behind me/ But my head's so big, you can't sit behind me."
