MISSION CONTROL Lyrics – Ye | from “BULLY”

This one’s Ye at his most ethereal yet grounded: a hypnotic loop of choral swells and sparse beats, music cooked up by Ye and 1SRAEL, blending trap’s low rumble with Tony’s velvet hooks that feel like church hymns remixed for the damned. It’s gospel-rap with a cosmic twist—think Sunday service echoes over spacey synths, no drops, just builds that mirror a soul’s quiet unraveling. Thematically, it’s all redemption arc: “I am free because you were bound,” a nod to sacrifice and inadequacy, that raw plea for strength amid the not-enough grind.

Previewed in a hushed Bianca Censori IG story back in June ’25, the full leak hit July 27 like contraband scripture, sparking fan theories on X about Ye’s post-Adidas exorcism. Tony’s outro—“Yeezy to Mission Control”—lands like a dispatch from orbit, turning personal voids into universal anthems.

BULLY itself? It’s Ye’s eleventh studio swing, a 13-track revenge saga inspired by Larry Clark’s 2001 flick about teens offing their tormentor—here, it’s Ye flipping the script on his own “bullies,” from corporate chains to inner demons. Tracklist teases like “PREACHER MAN,” “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST,” the title cut, and closers “DAMN” and “LOSING YOUR MIND” promise that signature chaos: raw samples, unfiltered bars, and collabs nodding to his G.O.O.D. Music roots. Recorded in hidden Wyoming sessions amid the Vultures fallout, it’s less bombast, more blade—Ye reclaiming the wheel after delays piled up from October ’25 pre-orders to this January thaw. Yeezy emails confirmed the date just yesterday, with Spotify’s countdown ticking like a heartbeat.

At 48, Ye’s in full phoenix mode, post-Vultures trilogy’s chart carnage and those ’24-’25 scandals that nearly torched it all. He’s traded shock tweets for studio seclusion, evolving from Yeezus provocateur to a grizzled sage mining faith and fracture—Bully feels like the unbowed chapter, where spirituality isn’t armor, it’s the wound. Fans are primed, dissecting leaks like lost gospels, betting this drops him back atop the throne.
