West, Kanye - Pinocchio Story Lyrics

A powerful way to end a monumental album

there is no couchey if i divide

God bless Kanye West

Drake could never

this has such a strong black sabbath vibe to me

The best song on a Classic album.

For all the people asking for a studio version of the song. That kind of misses the ironic point of the song. That I feel Kanye was going for. As genius perfectly puts it. "He blames himself for his mother’s death and attacks his life choices as the reasons he will never be happy. The irony of the song is heart-shattering, Kanye talking about wanting to be treated as a normal human being whilst people in the crowd talk and scream over his “confession” like he’s nothing but an artist."

RIP MOM. IN MY HEART FOREVER 💔

reminds me of bob marley. legends

i appreciate this

this fucking sucks sounds like a shitty r.kelly cover

the shitty is what gives the beauty

Somebody get him a puppy. Good God.

No one in hs circle thought about getting him a dog???

Whole Album Simply Beautiful

This may be one of the most saddest songs I've ever heard. Especially from Kanye. I've never reallu heard someone be this vulnerable and personal.

It's so sad!

I wanna slap tf out of the bitch that just screamed in my ear

Gotta say, this song is really slept on.

Listen to the WORDS real gooooooood it’s deep.

One of the most heartfelt songs of all time

there is no one greater than ye

Do really have the stamina?? For everyone who sees you to say where’s my camera?? Deep.... fuck fame

Wise man say, wise man say
Wise man say
You'll never figure out real love
Never figure out real love
You'll never figure out real love
It's so crazy, crazy-crazy
I got everything figured out
But for some reason I can never find what real love is about
No doubt
Everything in the world figured out
But I can never seem to find what real love was about
Do you think I sacrifice, real life
For all the fame, and flashing lights
Do you think I sacrifice, a real life
For all the fame, and flashing lights
There is no Gucci I can buy
There is no Louis Vuitton to put on
There is no Y.S.L. that they could sell
To get my heart, out of this hell
And my mind, out of this jail
There is no clothes that I could buy
That could turn, back in time
There is no vacation spot I could fly
That could bring back, a piece of real life
Real life, what does it feel like?
I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight
What does it feel like, I ask you tonight
To live a real life
I just wanna be a real boy
They always say "Kanye, he keeps it real boy"
Pinocchio's story is, I just wanna be a real boy
Pinocchio's story goes, to be a real boy
It's funny
Pinocchio, lied, and that's what kept him from it
I tell the truth, and I keep running
It's like I'm lookin for something out there, tryna find something
I turn on the TV, and see me, and see nothing
What does it feel like, to live real life, to be real
Not some facade on TV that no one can really feel
Do you really have the stamina?
For everybody that sees you that say, "Where's my camera?"
For everybody that sees you, to say sign a autograph
For everybody that sees you cryin', say you oughta laugh
You oughta laugh!?
I just wanna be a real boy
Pinocchio's story goes, I just wanna be a real boy
Pinocchio's story goes
And there is no Gepetto, to guide me
No one, right beside me
The only one, was behind me
I can't find her no more, I can't follow no more
I can't
The only one that come out on the tour and stays
Back when I was livin' at home and this was all a big dream
And the fame will be get got
And the day I moved to L.A., maybe that was all my fault
All my fault to be a real boy, chasin' the American dream
Chasin' everything we seen, up on the TV screen
And when uh, the Benz was left, and the clothes was left
And the hoes was left, you talk the hoes to death
Thinkin' the money to death
You spend the dough to death
And tell me what be left, for a real boy!
They say "Kanye, you keep it too real boy"
Perspective, and wise man say
One day, you'll find your way
The wise man say, you'll find your way
The wise man say, you'll find your way
Wise man say

to get my heart...out of this hell....


AND MY MIND, OUT OF THIS JAIL!!!!!!!!!

I love this song. Underrated 🔥

Everyone saying how the crowd doesn't even care, this was in Singapore so I'm sure not everyone really understood exactly how serious and deep he was being. I'm sure the same concert in the US would go over a bit differently with more emotion

Where'd you hear that from?

Because I hear an "I love you Kanye" pretty distinctly at 4:41

@Taj Dyson there could still be English speakers at a concert in Singapore

His naked singing (except for the reverb and delay effects) is awesome here...

This song is true pain

Flawless

kanye live sounds like shit touching the toilet water

808 HEARTBREAK WAS MY FAVORITE OF ALL TIME

I tell the truth and I keep running 😪😪 KANYE IS THE GOAT

Leo Dooley nobody comes close

Eli is that u ?

Best part 3:30-3:54

I get so depressed when I hear this song

1:19 gets me every time :’(

He just wants to be a real boy😢😢

this song was about losing his mom he died in this moment

This song makes me feel depressed

The only way. Jesus Christ. He loves you.

John 14:6 King James Version (KJV)

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

🙏🏻

Anyone who hates ye just needs to listen to some of his music and they will soon relate to what he is saying and have empathy.

Bmcgovs facts. They never really listened to him.

Iff this wasnt live audio this video would got alot more veiws

But thats what makes it so real!!!

AllWell91 Facts! Kanye purposely used the live audio so you can hear the crowds reaction to him expressing how he truly feels deep down inside.

The point of this recording is to show how disconnected he is from the crowd. The crowd just see him as just another rapper and not someone going through depression.

WOW best Kanye West song ever made.....Change my mind!?!?!

I would've ever known Kanye could get this emotional

the crowd only makes him sound more lonely bc they don’t care about what he’s saying. they only care about the name KANYE WEST bc they’re at a YE concert. when really it’s just another human being feeling loneliness and emptying out his emotions into a non sympathetic crowd... it’s very hypocritical bc the very same crowd would want people to listen to their emotions but they don’t want to listen to someone’s who they really love or idolize.

maybe they were getting really emotional and start cheering idk

@Mr. Cleveland How would you know? If you where at the concert, really caring and paying attention to what he was saying and I called you hypocritic for cheering him how would you feel?

Its a concert cheering is inevitable

If I was a rock star I would love hear everyone cheering me on

@misteranthrope yet there's another version that he sang at the Hollywood bowl, where he sang similar lyrics to a cheering crowd. Yet he sings "I've never felt as much love as I'm feeling tonight". You don't think he appreciates the crowd?

I turn on the tv, see me, and see nothing👁

man them bitches need to shut up
Kanye is pouring his heart out

Wise man say, wise man say
Wise man say
You'll never figure out real love
Never figure out real love
You'll never figure out real love

It's so crazy, crazy-crazy
I got everything figured out
But for some reason I can never find what real love is about
No doubt
Everything in the world figured out
But I can never seem to find what real love was about
Do you think I sacrifice, real life
For all the fame, and flashing lights
Do you think I sacrifice, a real life
For all the fame, and flashing lights

There is no Gucci I can buy
There is no Louis Vuitton to put on
There is no Y.S.L. that they could sell
To get my heart, out of this hell
And my mind, out of this jail
There is no clothes that I could buy

There is no vacation spot I could fly

Real life, what does it feel like?
I ask you tonight, I ask you tonight
What does it feel like, I ask you tonight
To live a real life

I just wanna be a real boy
They always say "Kanye, he keeps it real boy"
Pinocchio's story is, I just wanna be a real boy
Pinocchio's story goes, to be a real boy

It's funny

Thank you sooooo much for this... 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

GUNSHOT!

The audio quality and the crowd are the icing on the cake for this song

Except that one woman screaming at 2:19

4:09 aw man here goes the water works 😞🤦🏽‍♂️

I think he was talking bout his moms, real sad shit right there.

For me it’s when he talks about no clothes he can buy to turn back the time

definitely probably the best album ever... doesn't matter who doesn't know

Rick Rosd definitely probably?

The Devil is Real People... just ask Kanye

This is such an underrated song

Yetanotherpixelartist disagree. never really heard it before i started listening to this album

Kanye the greatest artist well ever experience. So much emotion in these songs

Wow, the only song on the album that was all done and created solely by him.

and by that pterodactyl girl at 2:19

lolololswwag Pterodactyl girl had the best feature on 808’s & Heartbreak facts

And I think it's the best song on the album

25 "heartless" douche bags gave thumbs down.. any more coming thru??
fresh 808 n heartbreak review on my vids.. cmon yall yeeeehaw!!

this song makes my eyes water every time come back and listen to it. Its crazy how the man was literally crying out for help after the passing of his mother and the whole media world shitted on him because of that taylor swift thing. not seeing that he was just going threw things dealing with his mothers passing.

The taylor swift thing happened after this song

and amber leaving him

Yeah you're thinking of the Hollywood Bowl version

people put celebrities on such colossal pedestals that we forget that they're ultimately just humans like the rest of us.

I just had my eyes water from this song followed by complete chills, only other artists that have done that to me is John Frusciante and probably Radiohead.

the crowd noise makes him sound... more alone? idk it sounds like he's in hell.

Scooby Boo 00 somebody cranky, someone please burp him and give him a nap

Facts :(

when imagine hell i imagine a giant cave underground lit up by the flames...so the way his voice ecoes makes him sound like hes in a cave and the screams sound like people burning in the flames of hell

YOOOOOOOO. I like that perspective.

Daniel Bromfield facts

I LOVE YOU KANYE

SUCH AN ARTISTICALLY UNDERRATED PERSON

@Juicy Mango 99 😢😢😢😭

Been listening to this album for 2 years now going on 3 and never get tired of it can listen to the whole album without a single skip

The best rap or pop album ever made

I've been listening since 2009 I still can't get over it

Kanye should do a studio version of this song

the performance of this song on the Hollywood Bowl is perfect, go check it out

I think that it would not be that good. It will miss the point of having the people there cheering while he pours his heart out

no, its meant to be played on the stage and its everchanging

BᴀᴅGᴜʏ BOOM it wasn’t even meant to be in the album actually

I don't think I will ever get over this album

🙏🙏🙏

It is a masterpiece.

Listen to it after a breakup or career success without love

You oughta laugh... YOU OUGHTA LAUGH!! gets me everytime :'(

2:19 somebody screamin'

Ishmael Kaikai Shit sounds terrifying

Yeah that was fucked haha

Name a better artist than Kanye
I can’t think of one

@thomas kurian Yeah,
why did you come to that conclusion?

There are many!

mia khalifa






sike she trash

Exine you obviously haven’t heard he older music

This song has meant so much to me over the years. Ye is truly a legend this song is timeless

The first and only song that's ever brought me to tears

I've cried many times with songs but this one made me cry twice, which is a first

Listen to Natural Release by Brent Faiyaz. That'll make you weep like a little baby.

This really is heartbreaking to hear him pour out after his mother’s death, best song by Kanye for me, just cause of the context behind it

Ruben hey mama gives me the chills everytime

this song had hit me hard, when I just think about each phrase he says

Totally agree, may be my favorite song by Kanye as well.

Yo this song is really a cry for help that seemed completely lost on this audience.

@EAEM you think they got wasps in Holland?

He was in Singapore when he did this

@callmepapiok lmfaoooo

FUN FACT : BEYONCE TOLD HIM TO PUT THIS LIVE ON THE ALBUM IT WASNT EVEN GONE BE ON HERE..

Beautifull
