Knaye West has similes throughout the entire song.They can be seen in lines:17, 18 ,19, 36, 39,40, and 47.
 * Analyzing**

In the song Kanye also uses some end rhyme, which is common in most songs. Kanye West uses this technique to make the song sound better, so it will flow. Some end rhyme can be see in lines 1&2, 15&16, 22&23, 23&25, 38&39, 45&46, 49&50, 57&59, and 66&67

In line 39 Kanye makes an allusion to Apollo 13 by saying "Till she feel boozed like she bombed out Apollo" Apollo 13 was a launch that went terribly wrong and exploded because of a malfunction on the spacecraft. Kanye also makes two other allusions to 50 cent, by quoting a couple of his song lyrics.
 * 'head switch the style up
 * And if they hate then let 'em hate
 * And watch the money pile up, the good life

__Allusion__-go 'head switch the style up, and if they hate then let 'em hate, and watch the money pile up This allusion to 50 cent's song In the Club, makes Kanye West's song makes it even better. The allusion just reinforces the meaning of the song. "Switch the style up" refers to Kanye changing his style, so that he goes for his, going all out. He is not going to care if people hate because he will be living his life to the fullest. I think that this song has two strong meanings and that it that Kanye is giving it his all to go for what he wants. He isn't just going to half go for it, he is going all out, so he can accomplish his goals. You can see all of that in the beginnig of the song. The other meaning is that he wants to live life to the fullest(a.k.a. the good life).
