Dami Lee of The Verge elected herself to create whimsical illustrations depicting Kanye West and a delectable troop of popular foods from McDonald’s. Based on Yeezy’s poem in Frank Ocean’s recently released Boys Don’t Cry zine, Lee’s hilarious visual aids follow the moment last year when the rapper stopped by a Los Angeles Mickey D’s drive thru in his $750,000 USD Lamborghini. As a whole, the poem centers upon a sinister French fry container and the other foods who apparently don’t want to form a band with it.

Browse through the visuals above and read Kanye’s full poem below:

McDonalds Man
McDonalds 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

McDonalds Man
McDonalds Man

I know them french fries have a plan
I know them french fries have a plan

The cheeseburger and the shakes formed a band
To overthrow the french fries plan

I always knew them french fries was evil man
Smelling all good and shit

I don’t trust no food that smells that good man
I don’t trust it
I just can’t

McDonalds Man
McDonalds Man
McDonalds, damn

Them french fries look good tho

I knew the Diet Coke was jealous of the fries

I knew the McNuggets was jealous of the fries

Even the McRib was jealous of the fries
I could see it through his artificial meat eyes
And he only be there some of the time
Everybody was jealous of them french fries
Except for that one special guy

That smooth apple pie
