West's second and third studio albums, Late Registration (2005) and Graduation (2007), both debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, with the latter becoming his most commercially successful to date. Three of his subsequent albums—808s & Heartbreak (2008), My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010), and The Life of Pablo (2016)—were certified triple platinum, while Yeezus (2013) was certified double platinum. Although not as well-received critically as his previous works, Ye (2018), Jesus Is King (2019), and Donda (2021) continued West's streak of consecutive number-one debuts on the Billboard 200. West has also released collaborative albums including Watch the Throne (2011) with Jay-Z, Kids See Ghosts (2018) with Kid Cudi, and Vultures 1 and Vultures 2 (2024) with Ty Dolla Sign. In fashion design, he has collaborated with Nike, Inc., Louis Vuitton, and Gap Inc. on clothing and footwear, and led the Yeezy collaboration with Adidas.
One of the world's best-selling music artists with 160 million records sold, West has won 24 Grammy Awards, the joint 11th-most of all time and the most awarded for any hip hop artist along with Jay-Z. His other accolades include a Billboard Artist Achievement Award, a joint-record three Brit Awards for Best International Male Solo Artist, and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. West holds the joint record with Bob Dylan for most albums (four) topping the annual Pazz & Jop critic poll. Time named him one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2005 and 2015. West's first six solo albums were included on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list in 2020, with the same publication naming him one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time.
West's outspoken views have received significant media coverage. He has been a frequent source of controversy due to his conduct on social media, at award shows, and in public settings, as well as his comments on the music and fashion industries, U.S. politics, race, and slavery. His Christian faith, high-profile marriage to Kim Kardashian, and mental health have also been topics of media attention. In 2020, West launched an unsuccessful independent presidential campaign that advocated for a consistent life ethic. In October 2022, he was widely condemned and lost many sponsors and partnerships, including his collaborations with Adidas, Gap, and Balenciaga, after making a series of antisemitic statements, including denying the Holocaust.

You're the only power that can
You're the only power (power)
You're the only power that can
If young Metro don't trust you I'm gon' shoot you
Beautiful morning, you're the sun in my morning, babe
Beautiful morning, you're the sun in my morning, babe
Nothing unwanted

I just want to feel liberated, I, I, na-na-na
If I ever instigated, I'm sorry
Tell me, who in here can relate? I, I, I
Now if I fuck this model
And she just bleached her asshole
And I get bleach on my T-shirt

We was down in Tribeca

Everybody gon' say something

Remind me where I know you from?
She looking like she owe you some'
You know just what we want

The lyrics to Kanye West's song Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1 may be confusing at first glance, but they actually touch on a few important themes. The repeated line "You're the only power that can" suggests a feeling of helplessness and a desire for guidance, perhaps from a religious or spiritual source. When Kanye says "If young Metro don't trust you I'm gon' shoot you," he is actually referring to his trust issues with people in the music industry, particularly with music producer Metro Boomin. This line is meant to express how seriously he takes his relationships and how strongly he feels about loyalty.
Moving on, the line "Beautiful morning, you're the sun in my morning" represents a sense of hope and renewal, and the desire for a fresh start. Kanye seems to long for a life that is unburdened by the negative experiences of his past, and he hopes to find freedom and liberation in this new day. The lines "I just want to feel liberated" and "If I ever instigated, I'm sorry" further highlight his desire for a new beginning and a clean slate.
