'Play'

simple tribal drums, 4/4
piano begins; que west and auto-tune
ape-like grunts with choral background
piano sounds very distant
west literally sounds mechanic
repetition of the word "amazing" is almost annoying, but not quite
several different genres seem to come through.. the aforementioned tribal drums, chant-like choral lines, blues-y piano hooks, with a modern machine voice driving things
weird noises feel very tribal; another place through the music
when Jeezy begins the motion slows to a drawl: his comments on his past seem to tie in with west's lyrics
the message of the song begins to pull together- the word amazing is not simply melodic, but rather it IS the message through its repetition; west has not accomplished just one thing, but has done many things.. these all keep driving things, just like this song.
The song seems to be a self-examination of sorts, with the author (west) being literally amazed and shocked at where he is at the moment as far as what he has accomplished.
