The untitled song begins with a clip sounding like President Donald Trump screaming, “Incoming!” From there, the majority of the video linked with the song shows two UFC fighters in a match. The lyrics match West’s sentiment for running for president. “Next time you text Kanye, you talking to a presidential candidate.” West repeats in the song, “Doing everything they didn’t allow. Overthrow…I don’t need to strike back, I let God fight my battles.” West also emphasizes phrases like presidential veto, taking the higher ground, and taking ideas. West ends the song by rapping, “All the news ain’t honest, all the news ain’t honest, all the news ain’t honest, they wanna ignore me, we write the story, take all the top spots.”

The 43-year-old presidential candidate released the song after a series of tweets about his rankings in the 2020 Election. A few hours before releasing the song, West tweeted a screenshot of invalid Kentucky presidential election results on Twitter. The false report – attributed to NBC’s LEX 18 – showed Jo Jorgensen in first place and West in third place with 19 percent of votes. LEX 18 responded to the tweet, “The results shown were not valid. They were simply part of a test.”

West tweeted the screenshot with the looking eyes emoji, appearing that West believed the results. West’s name has made the presidential ballot in Kentucky. West then tweeted a video of himself with a friend saying, “Get the West Wing ready, 19 percent, 40,000 votes, Kentucky, get the West Wing ready.” He tweeted the video along with the caption, “GET THE WEST WING READY !!! … this is how I felt when I saw that Kentucky pole result.” A few minutes later, West tweeted, “PEOLE TRIED TO TALK ME OUT OF RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT… NEVER LET WEAK CONTROLLING PEOPLE KILL YOUR SPIRIT.”

After West tweeted over 100 screenshots of various contracts, he tweeted, “Ok all music coming next.” But when he uploaded the first song, it just appeared as a title, “01 This Is The Glory – 07.14.20 Ye Edit.mp3” with no download.

West has yet to address either of those tweets nor the fact that there appears to be no file attached to the second tweet. But West did transition to his greater message of encouraging freedom and independence for musicians. “ALL THE MUSICIANS WILL BE FREE,” he wrote. West released Jesus Is King in October of 2019 and hasn’t share new music since then. His newest album Donda: With Child has yet to be released.
