Kanye insists that he’s not like other rappers, but there’s one classic part of hip-hop even he can’t avoid: rapping about cars. What would be the point of having all that money if you didn’t cop nice cars and subsequently boast about it to the masses? Like his previous works,Yeezus is full of auto references, especially to Mercedes-Benz. See all of them here with Every Car Reference on Yeezus.

"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.
