Kanye West raps about raising a child

Kanye West announced at his show on Sunday night that he and Kim Kardashian are expecting their first child, which brought back to memory the rapper's song where he reveals how he plans to raise his child.

On West and Jay-Z's New Day track, off their Watch the Throne album, the 35-year-old hip-hop artist raps:

And I'll never let my son have an ego

He'll be nice to everyone, wherever we go

I mean I might even make him be Republican

So everybody know he love white people

And I'll never let him leave his college girlfriend

And get caught up with the groupies in the whirlwind

And I'll never let him ever hit the telethon

I mean even if people dyin' and the world ends

See, I just want him to have an easy life

Not like Yeezy life, just want him to be someone people like

Don't want him to be hated all the time, judged

Don't be like your daddy that would never budge

And I'll never let him ever hit a strip club

I learned the hard way, that ain't the place to get love

And I'll never let his mom move to LA

Knowin' she couldn't take the pressure now we all pray

Though the lyrics are directed towards a son, they do offer insight into what sort of father West plans to be. Listen to the track, below:

He beleves he's flying high...but she will eat him up and spit him out!! Then I want to see him seem as cocky as he thinks he is.

Just another nigglet, nothing to get excited about.

There's zero hope for humanity. ****** of the century impregnates sk@nk of the century, devolving the gene pool by thousands of years.

Come on now! Doesn't Kanye have a couple of little ones already???

There are so many important issues in the news that aren't being highlighted due to this story. Keep the citizens of Central African Republic in your minds.

Their child will be patient zero for the inevitable idiocy headed our way and will likely become a strong argument for birth control.

The only good thing about this is most likely this poor kid will not have to go on welfare that we all pay for.

[Ulgnud]

For the child's sake it would be nice if they stayed together. I suspect that she will hop to another bed and clean Kanye's bank account out.

Two morons making a 3rd, she looks like she could become a three hundred pounds at any time, too much junk in the trunk, he's an idiot.

No matter what you say, you can always be loved by a license plate.
