"She say 'Can you get my friends in the club?'/I say 'Can you get my Benz in the club?'/If not, treat your friends like my Benz/Park they ass outside 'til the evening end"

Song: "Send It Up"

Cold-blooded. Usually rappers compare cars to girls for their looks, not because they see them like inanimate objects.

"Now your driver say that new Benz you can't afford that"

Song: "Blood on the Leaves"

On "Blood on the Leaves," Kanye tells the story of an ex who he observes post-relationship. Things aren't going well for her. And how could they if she left 'Ye?

"Uh, my mind move like a Tron bike/Uh, pop a wheelie on the Zeitgeist"

Song: "I'm In It"

We like to imagine that, if Kanye still kept his blog, the Tron motorcycle would make an appearance, with an all-caps caption, obviously.

"Time to take it too far now/Uh, Michael Douglas out the car now"

Song: "I'm In It"

Not sure exactly what he's getting at here. Kanye could be referencing the 1993 movie Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays a normal dude who snaps one day and goes gorillas.

"When I park my Range Rover/Slightly scratch your Corolla/Okay, I smashed your Corolla"

Song: "Hold My Liquor"

Crunch. He must be a five-year-old at parking cars, too.

"Throw 'em some Maybach keys/Fuck it, c'est la vie"

Song: "New Slaves"

Here Kanye comes back to the last Maybach line. C'est la vie, indeed. Maybachs ain't cheap.

"I throw these Maybach keys, I wear my heart on the sleeve/I know if we the new slaves, I see the blood on the leaves"

Song: "New Slaves"

In his awesome New York Times interview, he said of the lyrics, "I would rather sit in a factory, creating, designing, setting trends, than sit in a Maybach."

"That's that 'Come in, please buy more/What you want, a Bentley? Fur coat? A diamond chain?'"

Song: "New Slaves"

We'll take the Bentley. Fur coats and diamond chains ain't really our style.

"Get the Porsche out the damn garage"

Song: "I Am a God"

We wonder if 'Ye re-upped on a Porsche after his Panamera was stolen and crashed in Hawaii.

"Soon as I pull up and park the Benz, we get this bitch shaking like Parkinson's"

Song: "On Sight"

No word on which Benz he's talking about-the regular Benz, the other Benz, or the other other Benz.
