The chorus is repeated multiple times in the song to recap the listener, reinstate his point, and exclaim to his fiancé that she should leave after more reasons are presented.
The final lines are suggesting that his romantic interest should leave him, or more specifically run away, do to a mixture of all the previous reasons he presented. He toasts to douchebags, scumbags, "and t he jerk-offs That'll never take work off." Not only is his pessimism and jerk like tendencies highlighted from the pre-chorus, but his workaholic attitude is further explained. He narrates a toast to himself (a clever way of showing his narcissism). The chorus directly follows the pre chorus and responds to his comments. These lyrics serve as a double entendre both in relation to his work and workaholic attitude, but also in relation too, at the time, his current fiancé, Amber Rose, who left him shortly before the release of this album. It starts with a very pessimistic line reading, " And I always find.,I always find something wrong." The next lines highlight his constant pessimism and "talent" for nit-picking. The pre-chorus and chorus build off of the themes presented in the introduction. Although this happened some time after I started listening to him, it made me laugh a little.
Finally my most recent confrontation with his music, which of course comes from my family, was when I found out my mother listens to a few songs off of his 808's and Heartbreaks album. All of these interactions didn't instatntly make me enjoy his music, but I am guessing it helped.
I have sparse memories of hearing some of his songs at her house or talking about him when her children, (my cousins) who were much older than me. In fact that same cousins mother, my ant who I call Tía Debra, listened to Kanye. This was my first expeirence with Kanye's music. However, as I was too young to buy records or listen to 'explicit' music, this memory became an afterthought that I would only recall much later in my life. I vividly rember being not much older than 7 or 8 and him putting on Stronger by Kanye West off of his Graduation album.
My introduction to Kanye was through my cousin, John Rytlewski who is currently 20 (the same person who got me into Tyler, the Creator and Thundercat).
