Full lossless track leaked after a groupbuy. This version was mixed again then released onto DSP's on April 29th 2025. This version of the song was likely meant to be used in a trailer for the movie "Black Adam" and potentially drop as a promotional song for the movie, as AyoAA played this version but with a "For Warner Pictures" tag in late 2025, and the actual trailer for the film used "Murder To Execellence".

prod. DY Krazy, Tre Pounds, Dem Jointz, BoogzDaBeast · CD Quality · 2022

OG Filename: NEVER FORGIVE URSELF_ YEAH I KNOW Dem Jointz _ Boogz (144-120BPM) Seen on several DONDA 2 tracklists dated before the listening event.

with Kanye West, Marsha Ambrosius, Consequence, Dem Jointz · prod. BoogzDaBeast, FNZ, Dr. Dre, E.VAX, Dem Jointz, ??? · CD Quality · 2023

OG Filename: AUDIO_6737 Version with production from Dr. Dre and a verse from Pusha T. It's unknown when this was made, but due to direct references from Pusha T to his mother's death in November 2021, and 2022, it was likely recorded in very late 2021, shortly after Pusha's mothers death as he was meant to have a session with Ye at Elon Musk's house the day his mother died.Has more production and sound effects in the intro. The song is most likely Pusha T's at this point, as it wouldn't make sense for the song to be on DONDA 2 due to it's sound, and other Donda throwaways were considered for It's Almost Dry such as "Shotta" and "Dreaming of the Past".

with Future, Kanye West · prod. DJ Young Pharaoh, IRoccOnTheBeat, Zypitano · Recording · 2023

Version with a more finished Ye verse, re-recorded from his initial voice memo freestyle. Later released on Lil Durk's album 7220 without any Ye vocals. Durk announced the release of the song March 9th, 2022, tagging only Future. Snippet leaked February 16th, 2023.

with Future · prod. DY Krazy, Tre Pounds, BoogzDaBeast, Boi-1da · Not Available

According to Fya Man in a September 2022 interview, Ye had a song with Future with the lyric "inspired the drill shit, I feel like Fya Man" on the hook. They also posted a video of Ye reciting this lyric to their Instagram on March 3rd, 2022. This is very likely referring to this song due to the flow heard in both times it was referenced. According to Ye in an 8AM meeting, Future wrote the "I'm in a xanny land" line on the hook, so it's possible Future's vocals come from a reference track. Likely recorded post-2.22.22.
