Several lines from that version, including, “Your girl don’t like me, how long she been gay? / Spanish girls tell ya, ‘No hable ingle,’” eventually made it onto 2005’s Late Registration cut “ Bring Me Down.” A second version with a modified verse appeared on West’s questionably official 2005 Freshmen Adjustment mixtape. He tried out multiple versions, too, with the song first appearing on Kweli’s The Beautiful Mix CD in 2004.
