“New Body” was originally recorded 2018 for Kanye West’s unfinished album “Yandhi”, featuring Nicki Minaj on guest vocals.
The song debunks body shaming and the stigma surrounding plastic surgery, with West’s lyrics touching on this theme.
A reworked version of the song with Christian-themed lyrics was later previewed at listening parties. Still, it was ultimately excluded from West’s 2019 “Jesus Is King” album due to creative differences.
Kanye West Ty Dolla $ign New Body Nicki Minaj Lyrics
(Oh my God, Ronny)
Can’t wait to see your new body
Don’t be actin’ like you don’t know nobody
No body count on your new body (Old dick don’t count, those titties don’t bounce)
I’ll be the first one to hit your new body, oh, woah
New ass, new tits, new bitch, who this?
Who else you know this bad with two kids?
Nobody ever, ever gave you shit
Nobody flew to Colombia, like you did
Tryin’ a new ass out with the new drip
Only thing to ask, who first to hit?
‘Cause far as you ‘cern, you is a new bitch
There dumb, I’m done now, them niggas is too rich
Old dick don’t count, these titties don’t bounce
Those niggas say they here tryna run up your account
Big dump on it now, the summer they was down
But they better act like they know who they fuckin’ now
This a new bitch
Got a party table at the Ruth Chris
All bad bitches take a group pic
Had to step back ’cause she too thick
You used to twerk to every, every song
Saved up to buy an ass of your very, very own
FaceTime, body looks like Dom Perignon
Don’t pay me no attention, go and carry on
Can’t wait to see your new body
Don’t be actin’ like you don’t know nobody
No body count on your new body (Old dick don’t count, those titties don’t bounce)
I’ll be the first one to hit your new body (Mm), oh, woah

Got-got me a new body, now I need some new dick
No little wood, tryna stick me like a toothpick
Got me a new body, now I need some new dick
I busts shots, don’t duck unless the shoe fits (Ooh)

Cookie game come with the throat
Puff, puff, pass—no, you do not want the smoke
B-b-bitches be sleepin’ on me, but be claimin’ they woke (Ooh)
Fuck up a check on my body (Uh-huh)
Then let ’em lick on my body out in Abu Dhabi (Grr)
You see me shinin’, you pissed

Old nigga hit me and I said, “New body, who this?” (Ooh)
(Old nigga hit me and I said, “New body, who this?”)
Can’t wait to see your new body
Don’t be actin’ like you don’t know nobody
No body count on your new body
I’ll be the first one to hit your new body, oh, woah
