Kylie Jenner Gets Religious In Travis Scott's New 'STOP TRYING TO BE GOD' Music Video From Astroworld
Travis is the G.O.A.T.
Travis Scott finally blessed us with his looooong-awaited third solo album Astroworld last week and it's HUGE, with features across the board from Drake to Frank Ocean.
One track that particularly stood out to us was 'STOP TRYING TO BE GOD', not only for it's provocative themes but also for the mind-blowing features from Kid Cudi, James Blake, posthumous Stevie Wonder on harmonica and Earth, Wind & Fire’s Phillip Bailey too.
WATCH TRAVIS SCOTT'S 'STOP TRYING TO BE GOD' VIDEO HERE:
The fritters, the missiles, the humans
All gathered in secrecy
And flying high as a kite
Hmm-hmm
Just know what this about
Hmm-hmm-hmm, hmm-hmm
Palm trees, oceans, fresh air that can break your heart
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's not who you- are
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's just not your- job
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God, God
Ride for it every night
Visions and these angles tight
Truth be told, I never try
Diamonds are the wife of life
All three Rollies look alike
After two you get a hook-up price
Stripper never worked a nine-to-five
Delta and I ship it overnight
Stop tryna be God almighty
Fuck the money, never leave your people behind, yeah
It's never love, no matter what you try
Still can see it comin' down your eyes
'Cause they did not create commandments (ooh-ooh)
When you hustle, always make it fancy (ooh-ooh)
The signal's far from what you can be (ooh-ooh)
'Cause air traffic controls the landing
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's not who you- are
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's just not your- job
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God, God
Stop tryna play God almighty
Always keep your circle tight
I been wantin' shit my whole life
I wanted you bad, not tryna play God tonight
If I love her I'ma pass her one
First rule of war, you find an act of one
You can't win a trophy or a plaque off her
But never turn your back on her
'Cause they did not create commandments
When you hustle, always make it fancy
The signal's far from what you can be
'Cause air traffic controls the landing
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
You won't succeed tryna learn me
Stick to the roads in my journey
Stay out of court when you got the attorney
She say she love 'em, want to really burn me
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm, hmm-hm
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's not who you- are
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God
Hmm-hmm
That's just not your- job
Hmm-hmm
Stop tryna be God, God
Is it the complex of the saint that's keepin' you so, so still?
Is it a coat of old paint that's peelin' every day against our will?
Is it too long since the last open conversation you had? Oh, no
And did you see the void in the past?
And can you ever see it comin' back?
Well, can you always be a step ahead of it for me?
Well, can you always be a step ahead of it for me?
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
That it?
Now, the first of the Astroworld music videos has arrived - and we're starting with the track 'STOP TRYING TO BE GOD' which has got some visual treats as well as some special cameo surprises in store for us!
As always Travis has given this music video his ALL - it's mesmerising and such a spectacle to watch.
The brand-new music video continues Travis' recurring psychedelic themes but with a big dose of biblical references - from the herding of the sheep, to La Flame delivering a baptism of sorts, and even to the presence of God in the sky.
Plus, in a complete surprise it features Scott's partner Kylie Jenner playing the role of what seems to be the Virgin Mary! James Blake appears at the end just before too.. is he one of the three wise men? Are we overthinking this?
If none of that is enough to draw you in - there's a scene featuring Travis Scott riding some sort of flying demon-dragon creature as it spits fire onto the world.. before he's destroyed by God's laser beam eyes! You can't make this stuff up!
Even moreso, the scene with the flying creature looks like a shot-for-shot remake of that bit in The Neverending Story with Falkor the flying dog looking thing!! Not kidding - go google it and then watch the video below and tell us you don't see it too.
...it IS basically nightmare Falkor though right? RIGHT?
Anyway, whilst Travis is saying stop trying to be god – Ariana is saying 'God is a Woman'… but what’s up with those screaming beavers?
