Discover the story of the song > Guilt Trip – Kanye West

The protagonist is feeling guilty about ending a relationship with his partner, who liked fancy things and may have preferred Leos. He recalls memories of their trips to Rio but now feels alone. He tries to move on by focusing on the future and hanging out with his crew, but still feels confused about why he let go of his partner. The chorus and refrain emphasize how others may be pretending to be tough but really have softer sides, while the interlude by Kid Cudi questions why the protagonist's partner let him go if she loved him so much.
