    man this song is the first song that made me actually cry. My ex-stepdad had a playlist on his computer, he left it in our room and we would listen to his music all the time. he had some good ass choices. This, Big Brother, Seduction (Eminem), Beautiful (Eminem), Pimpin All Over the World (Ludacris), Juicy (Biggie), and then Drop the World and a few other songs. When I was 14, I got in trouble a lot so I didnt get to play a lot of video games. I spent most of the time reading and listening to music and when this song came on let me tell you I vibed. I vibed to another dimension. I would give anything to be 14, just starting high school again. There's so much shit I would have done differently. One of those things is saving that bastard's playlist to a flashdrive and putting in on my laptop. The other is finishing the Naruto manga and Maximum Ride series.

    "Bittersweet Poetry"
    (feat. John Mayer)
    [John Mayer:]
    Bittersweet
    You're gonna be the death of me
    I don't want you, but I need you
    I love you and hate you at the very same time
    Bittersweet
    [Kanye West:]
    See, what I want so much should never hurt this bad
    Never did this before, that's what the virgin says
    We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says
    God, talk to me now, this is an emergency
    And she claims she only with me for the currency
    You cut me deep, bitch, cut me like surgery
    And I was too proud to admit that it was hurting me
    I'd never do that to you, at least purposely
    We breaking up again, we making up again
    But we don't love no more, I guess we fucking then
    Have you ever felt you ever want to kill her?
    And you mix them emotions with tequila
    And you mix that with a little bad advice
    On one of them bad nights, y'all have a bad fight
    And you talk about her family, her aunts and shit
    And she say, "Motherfucker, your momma's a bitch"
    You know, domestic drama and shit, all the attitude
    I'd never hit a girl, but I'll shake the shit out of you
    But I'mma be the bigger man, big pimpin' like Jigga man
    Oh, I guess I figure it's
    [John Mayer:]

    We've been generally warned, that's what the surgeon says
    God, talk to me now, this is an emergency
    And my niggas said I shouldn't let it worry me
    I need to focus on the girls we getting currently
    But I been thinking and it got me back to sinking
    And this relationship, it even got me back to drinking
    Now this Hennessy, uh, it's gonna be the death of me
    And I always thought that you having my child was our destiny
    But I can't even vibe with you sexually
    'Cause every time that I'd try, you would question me
    Saying, "You fucking them girls, disrespecting me
    You don't see how your lies is affecting me?
    You don't see how our life was supposed to be?
    And I never let a nigga get that close to me
    And you ain't cracked up to what you were supposed to be
    You always gone, you always be where them hoes will be"
    And this the first time she ever spilled her soul to me
    [John Mayer and Kanye West:]
    Bittersweet (I fucked up and I know it, G)

    I am stunned that this is a 15 year old video. I love you Kanye. I can’t believe I still find new stuff from him this old but god damnit I love this man. I hope you’re still with us Ye and they didn’t actually clone you 😢 Love you Ye

    I’ve been looking for this song for years! I had it downloaded off of lime wire back when I was a kid and then I could only ever find it on tumblr

    late registration, college dropout, and graduation are by far his best. 808's and MBTWF were still good albums for sure, but his old soul/rap was top notch

      wish he'd go back to it instead of this go hard bullshit just because it's what this new gen wants.

      I think all of his albums are really good in their own ways, Yeezus does have a few weak songs but damn is it good live.

      Aidan Di Palma I THOUGHT THE SAME. until I went to see the tour. that album is different then all the bullshit on the radio. so at first glance its hard to appreciate it. its ahead of its time...production wise. beats are not even close to anything u hear on the radio. its a good thing, hip hop is getting bland
      sidebar: I went to see yeezus in Brooklyn, MSG, AND PRUDENTIAL CENTER IN NEWARK! that's how good the show was. which made me love the album
