PABLO Lyrics
[Intro: Kanye West]
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t go dumb (Just don’t go dumb)
Let’s have some fun (Let’s have some fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue, yeah)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t break nothin’ (Just don’t break nothin’)
Let’s just have fun (Let’s just have fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
[Verse 1: Kanye West with Marilyn Manson]
I like to think the world is mine (Chi’, Chi’, Chi’, Chi’)
Some folks say that love is blind (Chi’, Chi’, Chi’, Chi’)
Show me around, I’m new in town (Chi’, Chi’, Chi’, Chi’)
Pick me up before I drown (Chi’, Chi’, Chi’)
Pick me up before I drown
They’re putting shovels in the ground
Build me up to tear me down
But if I’m up, then we all drown
We the culture, you late
We do things that you can’t
If I withdraw, they gon’
Make some real calls to banks
Born real and you ain’t
Still the old me, new hate
New hate, new hate, new hate
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t go dumb (Just don’t go dumb)
Let’s have some fun (Let’s have some fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t go dumb (Just don’t go dumb)
Let’s have some fun (Let’s have some fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
[Verse 2: Future]
I can send a blitz, turn you to your ashtray, you gon’ have a bad day
Pull up with a stick, three thousand shots, André
Top of the world, **** get starstruck, I just be oiled up
Calm my nerves, hangin’ with narcos, shoot like vato
Bales at the loft, I can go golf, mm
Flyin’ out to New York, she good with her arch
Rick James, drip on my cloth
Why must I explain? I’m with my dog right or wrong
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
Take my heart, run (Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo, take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t go dumb (Just don’t go dumb)
Let’s have some fun (Let’s have some fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue, yeah)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
Take my heart, run (Take my heart, run)
Just don’t go numb (Just don’t go numb)
Just don’t break nothin’ (Just don’t break nothin’)
Let’s just have fun (Let’s just have fun)
Pull out your tongue (Pull out your tongue)
What you waitin’ on? (What you waitin’ on?)
Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo
PABLO Lyrics Meaning
[Intro: Kanye West]
Kanye’s opening line, “Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo,” reasserts his identity as a cultural force. The reference to “Pablo” aligns with his past work, like The Life of Pablo, symbolizing both artistic genius and misunderstood leadership. It sets a tone of self-declared greatness and expectation.
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
The chorus introduces a contrast between emotional risk and reckless abandon. Travis Scott’s delivery is playful yet edged with caution, as he urges someone to engage deeply (“take my heart”) but not become numb or careless. The repeated phrase “Who they waitin’ on? That’s Pablo” becomes a rallying cry, positioning Kanye as the focal point of attention while hinting at the burden of that spotlight.
[Verse 1: Kanye West with Marilyn Manson]
Kanye reflects on his turbulent relationship with fame, media backlash, and resilience. The line “build me up to tear me down” speaks to public betrayal, while the chant-like “Chi’, Chi’, Chi’” roots the verse in his hometown of Chicago. He expresses both a messianic complex (“if I’m up, then we all drown”) and social commentary on cultural appropriation and authenticity. The mention of banks and identity underscores how his existence challenges systems of power and perception.
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
Repetition of the chorus strengthens its emotional gravity. The chant transitions from flirtatious to defiant, reinforcing the balance between seeking connection and guarding one’s spirit. It also highlights the tension between public performance and personal vulnerability.
[Verse 2: Future]
Future’s verse injects intensity and street-coded language, contrasting Kanye’s reflective tone. He references violence, wealth, and indulgence with a nonchalant swagger, embodying survival through dominance. From New York trips to narcotic metaphors, his lines evoke a fast-paced, high-stakes lifestyle. His closing line about loyalty (“I’m with my dog right or wrong”) anchors the verse in a code of brotherhood amidst chaos.
[Chorus: Travis Scott & Kanye West]
The final chorus serves as both a reprise and climax, layering repetition for a hypnotic effect. The emotional push-pull between trust, danger, and freedom remains central, while the Pablo motif continues to echo Kanye’s larger-than-life persona.
