![]() ![]() ![]() For everybody that sees you say: ‘sign an autograph’. He goes on to say “ Do you really have stamina? For everybody that sees you say: ‘where’s my camera’. He is almost saying that being his true self feels like he’s playing a character. Kanye starts the second verse saying “ It’s funny, Pinocchio lied and that’s what kept him from it, I tell the truth and I keep running” Kanye is addressing the irony between him and Pinocchio, because Pinocchio can’t be a real boy because he lies, but Kanye feels like he can’t be a real boy because he tells the truth. He continues this them into the chorus where he says “ I just want to be a real boy”. He is comparing himself to a puppet because he feels like one. Pinocchio wants to be a real boy just like Kanye wants to live a normal life. To live a real life” The song is called Pinocchio Story and Kanye relates to the way Pinocchio feels. ![]() What does it feel like? I ask you tonight. To end the verse Kanye says “ Real life, what does it feel like? I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight. He goes on to say “ there is no Gucci I can buy, there is no Louis Vuitton to put on, there is no YSL that they could sell, to get my heart out of this hell and my mind out of this jail” Despite seemingly having everything and being able to afford anything Kanye is still sad because money can’t him true happiness. For example, going to a restaurant is a hassle for him but it is something that most people don’t even think twice about. Mid-verse Kanye says “ Do you think I’d sacrifice real life, for all the fame and flashing lights, do you think I’d sacrifice a real life, for all the fame and flashing lights?” Kanye is commenting on all the luxuries that normal people have that he has had taken away from him due to his fame. There is an intro to the song but I’m going to skip it and start on the first verse. This is also the last track on the album. Pinocchio Story from Kanye West’s fourth studio album is a live recording of a freestyle. ![]()
