And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five-fathom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. William Shakespeare – Queen Mab Speech

Yeezy’s referring to his own label, G.O.O.D. Music, which is geared entirely toward “Getting Out Our Dreams,” the direction ‘Ye wants to go.
If you’re so lucky to be able to join his label, you’ll be able to get out your dreams, just like the man, himself.
In light of the preceding line about Monopoly, this line is likely referring to Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua, Kanye’s manager back in ‘08. Joshua’s been influential in the careers of many artists including Ye, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z.
Where is the GOOD reference coming from? There’s no clear indicator of what in the line “Hop in this bitch to give Saint the garment” in any way has to do with GOOD music or the direction Ye wants to go? Does the annotator believe Saint refers to the angel/cherub thing that’s part of the logo?
That part should be removed unless it can be better explained.
“Hop in this bitch get same thing I’m in”
John Monopoly, Chicago Hip Hop Godfather
The line is “Hop in this bitch and get the same thing I’m in”
Saint is Kanye’s son. Although Yeezus was released in July of 2013 prior to Saint’s birth in December of 2015, Kanye likely knew that he would name his next child Saint. With the lines prior to this Kanye is mentioning primarily the influence he’s made in the fashion industry, as well as the influencers he’s collaborated with, the “Rat Pack”. Kanye is saying he’ll give Saint the garments; and pass down his fashion knowledge, as well as his Yeezy clothing brand to his son.
The HAARP line may be a stretch but it would work with the topic of climate control.
Kanye is saying “HAARP in this bitch again”. HAARP is a conspiracy organization known for “changing the climate”. It sends ions into the atmosphere and is able to create lightning or conjure any climate. Kanye is changing the climate like HAARP “change the climate”. Kanye is into this kind of shit.
