Kanye West‘s poem about McDonalds that he wrote for Frank Ocean‘s Boys Don’t Cry zine is a pretty fun piece of literature on its own, but it really comes alive when read aloud.

“McDonald’s man / McDonald’s man / The French fries had a plan / The French fries had a plan / The salad bar and the ketchup made a band / Cus the French Fries had a plan / The French fries had a plan / McDonald’s man / McDonald’s,” the poem stars, before revealing — spoiler — that the only Golden Arches menu item not jealous of the fries is “That smooth apple pie.”
After the reading, Bada$$ praised the piece as “classic” and “Shakespearean.”
