One of the primary differences between the aforementioned demo and the finished product was that the original featured a different chorus. Moreover it featured John Legend as opposed to Chris Martin. When Jay-Z did this, it perturbed Kanye. And chart-wise it was recognized in almost 20 nations.
This includes it making it onto the top 10 of the UK Singles Chart. Moreover, the track has been certified platinum in the United States. The said song is a duet between Jay-Z and Beanie Sigel. Name Optional. Mirek Stiles, who engineered the Studio Three sessions, recounts the story 15 years later. I gave him a tour of the studios and he really liked Studio Three and asked if he could book it for the remainder of the week.
By pure coincidence Studio Three had just had a last-minute cancellation, so it kind of worked out perfectly. I spent the next week recording and editing various vocal takes and cutting together loops in Studio Three with Kanye and his production team. It also just so happened that week Coldplay were doing a live show in Studio One and Kanye, along with the rest of the building, had gotten wind of this.
I remember we were working on what turned out to be the track Homecoming. Kanye said to me at the board he was going to ask Chris Martin to sing on the track and off he went out of the studio — it was like a sudden definitive decision he had just made and he was off on a mission I seemed to think at the time it might be unlikely this would happen, he was doing a gig that night and who knows what he had planned after.
Anyway, about three hours later Kanye came back with Chris. Lyrics submitted by laymon. Log in now to tell us what you think this song means. Create an account with SongMeanings to post comments, submit lyrics, and more.

Do you think about my now and then? Cause I'm coming home again -ming home again. Verse 1 [Kanye West] Chi-town. I met this girl when I was three years old. And what I love most, she had so much soul She said "Excuse me little homie, I know you don't know me But my name is Windy, and yo, I like to blow trees" And from that point I never blow her off Cousins come from out of town, I like to show her off They like to act tough, she like to tow em off And make em straighten up they hat cuz she know they soft And when I grew up, she show me how to go downtown And in the nighttime, her face lit up, so astounding I told her, in my heart is where she'll always be She never mess with entertainers cuz they always leave She said it felt like they walked and drove on me Knew I was gang affiliated, got on tv, and told on me I guess that's why last winter she got so cold on me She said "keep makin' that, keep makin' that platinum and gold for me" Chorus [Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then?
Do you think about me now and then? Oh, now I'm coming home again Maybe we could start again Verse 2 [Kanye West] But if you really care for her, Then you wouldn't've never hit the airport to follow your dream Sometimes I still talk to her But when I talk to her, It always seems like she just talk about me She said, "You left your kids and they just like you They wanna rap and make soul beats just like you But they just not you, and I just got through Talkin' bout what he tryina do, just not new" Now everybody got the game figured out all wrong I guess you never know what you got 'til it's gone I guess that's why I'm here and I can't come back home And guess when I heard that, when I was back home Every interview I'm representing you, makin' you proud Reach for the stars, so when you fall you land on a cloud Jumpin' in crowds, sparkin' lighters, wave em around If you don't know by now, I'm talkin' bout Chi-town Chorus [Chris Martin] Do you think about me now and then?
Now I'm coming home again -ming home again Maybe do you remember when, fireworks at Lake Michigan?
