Kanye West Love Lockdown (Live @ VMAs)
UPDATE: Love Lockdown REMASTERED STUDIO VERSION, it sounds better then the previous release, but I still think this song has more potential.

Kanye West performed his new single “Love Lockdown” at the MTV VMA’s recently, and the song is definitely getting mixed reactions. I really enjoyed this performance cause he put a lot of emotion into it, and I like the song, and can relate to the lyrics. A lot of people are getting sick of the use of autotune, if you don’t know, thats the program that creates the effect that T-Pain uses. I don’t mind the autotune use, as long as it’s not overdone on the song, it can still sound good, and to me, this song sounds good. It’s been stuck in my head for at least 3 days straight. There’s only one problem, the live version is a lot better then the supposed “studio” version that was apparently sent out by def jam, and also posted by Kanye himself on his blog. I’m not even gonna post that one, cause it will most likely cause you to not like this song automatically. I doubt that release is the final version, and I really hope it’s not, cause I really like the song, and wanna hear it at it’s full potential. His new album “808′s and Heartbreak” is set to release on December 16th. It should be a solid album, so far he’s 3 for 3, and continues to put out some great music, so I’m expecting the same from this cd.

Kanye West “Love Lockdown” Lyris

Verse:
I’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I’m in love with you, but the vibe is wrong
And that haunted me, all the way home
So you never know, never never know,
Never know enough, ’til it’s over love
‘Til we lose control, system overload
Screamin’ “No! No! No! N-No!”
I’m not loving you, the way I wanted to
See I wanna move, but can’t escape from you
So I keep it low, keep a secret code
So everybody else don’t have to know

Chorus:
So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

Verse:
I’m not lovin’ you the way I wanted to
I can’t keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got somethin to lose, so I gotta move
I can’t keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I’m on my own
Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
How many times did I tell ya ‘fore it finally got through
You lose, you lose
I’m not lovin’ you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to move
No more wastin’ time, you can’t wait for life
We’re just wastin’ time, where’s the finish line

Chorus:
So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose

Verse:
I’m not lovin you, the way I wanted to
I bet no one knew, I got no one new
I know I said I’m through, but got love for you
But I’m not lovin’ you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin’, keep the lovin’ goin’
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
If I’ll be with you, baby I’m confused
You choose, you choose
I’m not lovin’ you, the way I wanted to
Where I wanna go, I don’t need you
I’ve been down this road, too many times before
I’m not lovin’ you, the way I wanted to

Chorus:
So keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Keepin’ your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
Your love locked down
Now keep your love locked down
You lose, you lose
You lose, you lose
You lose
