Everything We Need Lyrics
We began after the storm inside
Lay the land (Ah), it's just the morning light (Woo, woo)
Woo, woo, oh yeah
[Verse 1: Kanye West & Ant Clemons]
Woo-ooh, ooh-ooh
Switch your, switch your attitude
Go 'head, level up yourself
This that different latitude
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Life too short, go spoil yourself
Feel that feel, enjoy yourself 'cause
[Refrain: Ant Clemons & Ty Dolla $ign]
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, woah)
We have everything we need
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
We began after the storm inside
Lay the land (Ah), it's just the morning light (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 2: Kanye West & Ant Clemons]
Switch my, switch my attitude
I'm so, I'm so radical
All these people mad at dude
This for who it matter to
What if Eve made apple juice?
You gon' do what Adam do?
Or say, "Baby, let's put this back on the tree" 'cause
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
We have everything we need (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, woah)
We have everything we need
[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
We began after the storm inside
Lay the land (Ah), it's just the morning light
About
Kanye and frequent collaborator Ty Dolla $ign team up on “Everything We Need”—a track previously named “The Storm.” It was rumored to be featured on Kanye’s scrapped 2018 project, Yandhi. Kanye’s career has been marred by controversies and this track is a rebirth for the rapper, as he takes a new direction toward faith.
The song’s final version is significantly different from the original leaked track, which featured a posthumous verse from the late XXXTENTACION. XXX’s verse was likely cut due to its message of violence, boastfulness, and its use of curse words. These do not fit the overall theme of JESUS IS KING, which is completely non-explicit.
