AceShowbiz - Following his wild week on Twitter, Kanye West has given fans a new track entitled "Lift Yourself". The release of the track doesn't come as a surprise though, as the rapper took to the micro-blogging site hours before its release.
"I'm going to drop a song with a verse that will bring Ebro the closure he's been seeking. The bars (fire emojis)," he tweeted, indirectly saying that the song is dedicated to Hot 97's radio host Ebro Darden. "It's called Lift Yourself."

The bars 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's called Lift Yourself
The hip-hop mogul then tweeted out a link to his website, and the link leads to the mp3 file that starts playing once the page loads. "Lift Yourself" starts off with a slew of women singing over soulful melody, "Lift yourself up on your feet, let's get it on/ Hard to see, the hangups we have today/ We need to strive for more liberty."
A bass beat then comes in with some electronic riffs before Kanye can be hear saying over the track, "What they don't really realize, though, this next verse, this next verse, though, these bars, watch this." Right after that, the rapper starts spitting some bizarre lines like, "Whoopdedy-scoop, whoopdedy-whoop-scoop-poop/ Poop/ Poop," followed by an abrupt end.
It's unclear whether or not the song will be included on his forthcoming album, which will be released on June 1. Along with the seven-track effort, the "Famous" rapper will also release a collaborative album with Kid Cudi. The album is scheduled to make its way out on June 8.
Not much is known about the new album, but a source close to Kanye previously revealed that one of the tracks off the set finds him rapping about his rocky relationship with Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles. "Kanye raps about everything on these new songs, from his health issue, to his family, kids and Kim [Kim Kardashian]," the source shared.
